Ceramics Industry in Bangladesh

Export of ceramics goods from Bangladesh, especially in the Middle Eastern countries, has been increasing steadily and it has given a boost to the country's hopes for foreign exchange earnings by exploring new markets for its diversified exportables.

Though Bangladesh's entry in ceramic export market is not that old but it had already earned a good name for its quality products with elegant getup and design.

There are four major companies -Monno Ceramics, Peoples Ceramics, Bengal Fine Ceramics, Standard Ceramics and Shinepukur Ceramics-who are manufacturing quality products to meet the international standard and have been exporting their goods for a long time.

Though the export earnings from ceramics sector is no match in comparison to the Ready Made Garments or leather sectors, but the sector is contributing to the country's overall development by exploring new market even in Eastern Europe and expanding its export base for foreign. A silent revolution is taking shape in the country's ceramic sector in its thrive to attain quality in production for its products by these ceramics companies.

Most significantly, all the existing companies are running their ventures depending on local workforce and market capital, but still they are dependent on others for some raw materials. Yet despite some limitations, the sector has every potentials to grow and become a big foreign exchange earner for the country with its dazzling products in the era of globalisation which has exposed our products to unequal competition in world market. Hopefully ceramics industry would sustain this challenge of stiff competition and proceed forward with quality products in a very reasonable price range and bring good name for the country.

Production Process
Many customers having created their own design come to Monno to have printing of their own design on porcelain tableware.

Special attention is given to develop the design in detail with advanced technical ability, for which we are specially equipped. So, you are welcome to send your design for FREE sample and quotation.

The screen and lithographic processes are available in both line and half tone work, and it is also possible to combine the two so that special effects such as raised or embossed decorations with color and precious metal can be printed.

Apart from standard screen-printing for lithographic transfers, other special types of decoration are available namely, raised decoration on precious metal, acid etch imitation, colored and reactive glaze.

Transfers are also available for a wide range of decorations such as on-glaze, in-glaze and under glaze in both normal firing and fast firing at a firing temperature from 750°C to 900°C (on-glaze) and from 1200°C to 1350°C (in-glaze and under glaze).
