JINJIANG, China, Nov. 26, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- China Ceramics Co.,
Ltd. (NASDAQ Capital Market: CCCL) ("China Ceramics" or the
"Company"), a leading Chinese manufacturer of ceramic tiles used
for exterior siding and for interior flooring and design in
residential and commercial buildings, today announced that the
Company has entered into a non-binding letter of intent with a
Malaysian contractor for the Company's ceramic tiles including its
new 'cooling' ceramic tiles that it introduced in August of 2019.
The Malaysian contractor intends to use the Company's ceramic tile
products for use in high rise apartment buildings in the third
quarter of 2020.
"This is an important step to increasing our exports to
Southeast Asia due to the rapid
rise in construction in the region and its climate conditions which
make it an ideal fit for many of our ceramic tile products.
Provided that the market demand and related conditions are in
place, we plan upon substantially increasing our exports to this
region," said Ms. Meishuang Huang, Chief Executive Officer of China
Ceramics. "China Ceramics continues to deploy innovation and
competitive pricing to secure new business. We believe that our new
products will help us to enter new markets and ultimately diversify
our revenue stream while contributing to our future growth."
The Company's anticipated entry
into Malaysia is the first step of
an expansion effort into Southeast
Asia that is intended to capitalize upon the increased level
of the region's new building construction which is due in part to
China's Belt and Road Initiative.
The Company foresees this as an opportunity to utilize its
currently unused production capacity as it enters a dynamic
regional market with an estimated population of 660 million people.
The Company's Chief Executive Officer, Ms. Huang Meishuang, will oversee the execution of
this planned expansion.
The Company plans to introduce specialized products into the
Southeast Asia market that are
suitable for the region due its generally warm climate, including
the Company's recently announced new 'cooling' ceramic tiles. This
building product is a new type of exterior ceramic tile designed to
cool indoor temperatures of buildings. The new cooling ceramic tile
series is designed as a stone pattern with a look of natural décor
and luxury with richer patterns than organic stone materials. The
Company is in the final stages of testing the new product and
receiving its certification.
