Vandad Gostar Silkway (VGS) is excited to announce a landmark collaboration that aims to revolutionize the Yazd tile and ceramic industry by partnering with leading Chinese manufacturers. This initiative is an effort to boost both technological advancements and market reach for Yazd’s renowned ceramic products, which are a cornerstone of Iran’s traditional crafts.
The collaboration was instigated considering the booming construction industry in Iran and China’s technological expertise in ceramic manufacturing. Yazd has long been recognized for its high-quality tiles and ceramics, rooted in a history that stretches back thousands of years. However, the industry faces challenges in scaling production and improving efficiency.
“Our mission is to bridge the gap between traditional craftsmanship and modern manufacturing techniques,” says the founder of VGS, who has been instrumental in negotiating this partnership. “Through this collaboration, we can not only enhance the quality of Yazd ceramics but also expose these exceptional products to new markets.”
The partnership will see a technology transfer from leading Chinese ceramic manufacturers to Yazd’s factories, including state-of-the-art machinery, quality control procedures, and energy-efficient production techniques. “We are particularly excited about introducing 3D printing technology for intricate designs, something that would take artisans days to complete,” adds the VGS team.
This is not just a business venture; it’s a cultural exchange. Alongside the technology and expertise, there’s an aspect of mutual learning. Workshops are planned where Chinese experts will impart technical knowledge, and in return, they will gain insight into the aesthetic and historical elements that make Yazd ceramics unique.
Moreover, the collaboration includes an expansive marketing strategy to introduce Yazd ceramics to the Chinese market. “We’re envisioning this to be a symbiotic relationship. While Chinese technology will augment Yazd’s production capabilities, Yazd’s unique designs and history will offer something new to the Chinese consumer,” explains the VGS founder.
Financial arrangements have been customized to support this initiative. VGS has introduced a flexible payment system, facilitating trade in both Rial and Yuan, thereby removing currency exchange obstacles that often hinder international collaboration.
This partnership is expected to have a long-term positive impact on Yazd’s local economy, creating jobs and elevating the region’s ceramic industry to international standards. VGS is proud to be the trusted bridge in this historic collaboration, living up to its mission of fostering successful business between China and Iran.
