Guangzhou, China – March 3, 2026
PITO Porcelain recently hosted the 2026 Haizhu District Overseas Chinese Spring Reception and Development Exchange at the Chaozhou Greater Bay Area City Reception Hall, bringing together government leaders, overseas Chinese entrepreneurs, and international partners to celebrate the New Year and explore new opportunities for global cooperation.
The event was attended by several officials from Guangzhou and Haizhu District, alongside representatives of overseas Chinese business communities. As a Vice President unit of the Haizhu International Chamber of Commerce, PITO played an important role in hosting the gathering and supporting the official launch of two new international cooperation platforms: the Haizhu Overseas Chinese Reception Hall and the Haizhu Overseas Partner Service Center.
These platforms aim to strengthen connections between overseas Chinese communities and the Greater Bay Area, creating new channels for international business collaboration and cultural exchange.
Bringing Overseas Chinese Leaders Together
More than 30 overseas Chinese leaders and entrepreneurs from over 20 countries and regions, including the United States, Italy, and Germany, attended the event.
Participants met with local government representatives and business leaders to discuss new possibilities for trade, investment, and international cooperation. The gathering also highlighted the important role of overseas Chinese networks in promoting economic development and global connectivity.
During the exchange session, Xu Hongsheng, General Manager of Guangdong PITO Porcelain Industry, emphasized that PITO will continue to promote the global development of Chinese ceramic culture.
He noted that the company will leverage the Haizhu Overseas Partner mechanism and the global networks of overseas Chinese communities to expand international partnerships and introduce Chinese porcelain craftsmanship to a wider global audience.
A Platform for Intangible Cultural Heritage
The event was held at the Chaozhou Greater Bay Area City Reception Hall, a venue dedicated to showcasing the cultural heritage of Chaozhou, one of China’s most renowned ceramic regions.
The newly established Haizhu Overseas Chinese Reception Hall complements this venue and features spaces such as:
- Blue-and-white porcelain cultural exhibition areas
- Intangible heritage workshops
- Cultural exchange and networking spaces
During the event, guests toured PITO’s exhibition of Chaozhou blue-and-white porcelain, gaining insight into the craftsmanship behind this traditional art form. The distinctive technique—where cobalt patterns appear vividly beneath a translucent glaze after a single high-temperature firing—impressed many attendees.
Several overseas business representatives expressed strong interest in potential cooperation opportunities following the visit.
Expanding the Global Reach of Chinese Ceramics
As a long-established ceramic manufacturer rooted in Chaozhou, PITO has continuously combined cultural heritage with modern manufacturing to bring Chinese porcelain to international markets.
Today, PITO products are exported to more than 90 countries and regions worldwide, with distribution partners in over 30 countries.
By utilizing Haizhu District’s “1+8+N” international service system for overseas Chinese enterprises, PITO plans to further strengthen global collaboration. The company is actively exploring partnerships with European cross-border e-commerce platforms and international logistics networks such as overseas warehouses in New Zealand.
Through these initiatives, PITO aims to move beyond traditional product export and promote a deeper global appreciation of Chinese ceramic culture.
Continuing the Legacy of Blue-and-White Porcelain
According to Xu Hongsheng, the establishment of the Haizhu Overseas Chinese Reception Hall marks a new milestone for the company.
Looking ahead, PITO will continue to:
- Preserve and innovate traditional blue-and-white porcelain craftsmanship
- Develop new ceramic collections that blend heritage aesthetics with contemporary design
- Strengthen collaboration with overseas Chinese entrepreneurs worldwide
- Participate in international forums and global cooperation initiatives within the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area
By doing so, the company hopes to bring renewed vitality to centuries-old ceramic traditions while contributing to international cultural exchange.
Building Bridges Through Culture
The successful hosting of this international gathering highlights PITO’s commitment to both cultural heritage preservation and global business development.
Moving forward, the company will continue to connect international partners through porcelain craftsmanship, building bridges between Chinese culture and global lifestyles while creating new opportunities for cooperation across borders.
