In order to survive and grow strongly as today, alongside a team of technicians and talented craftsmen, the company had to invest the system with modern equipment, unceasingly to drive innovation in the process produce.

Ly Ngoc Minh said, 10 years ago, gas prices gallop from 500 to 1,000 and then $ 1,500/ton, labor costs also increased many times do ceramics industry in general difficult. Minh Long I own with the more difficult by the Company applied production technology according to German quality standards 1380oC heated, doubling energy consumption compared to products of the company porcelain heated 1320oC. Before that situation, required to reduce energy consumption, production is extremely urgent.

In order to reduce production costs while maintaining product quality according to European standards, Mr. Minh was determined to change the technological process from two fire baked into the fire once, something that no other country in world do. The deployment of the idea has changed all stages in the production process. Thus, it took almost 10 years tinkering research, technology baked once a new fire of Minh Long I completed today.

According to Mr. Minh, once the fire burning technology applied to production has brought significant effect. This breakthrough helps companies save up to 30% of the cost for fuel used for the burning process. Not only that, the new technology has helped to double output and shorten the production cycle with only 1/5 of the old technology. Specifically, the department porcelain dishes with 1,500 employees, according to the old technology yields only 50 to 60 thousand products/date with new technology while output reached 100 to 120 thousand real products/day; production cycle is reduced from 15 days to 3 days. It is important that the criteria for product quality such as brightness, thinness, yeast surface hardness, gloss, style, etc. are equal to or more than the twice baked.

Following successful trials during 10 years uninterrupted, to spend so much time, money and effort of the whole team of researchers, now, Mr. Ly Ngoc Minh City can proudly assert that, in field of high quality porcelain, Vietnam not inferior any other country in the world.
