Recently, many places across the country have experienced heavy to heavy rainfall.
According to the forecast of the meteorological department:
On the 12th and 13th, there were heavy to heavy rains in northern Huanghuai, eastern North China, southern and western Northeast China, and local heavy rains; some of the above areas were also accompanied by strong convective weather such as short-term heavy precipitation, thunderstorms and strong winds;
From the 14th to the 16th, there will be moderate to heavy rains, local heavy rains or heavy rains in the Sichuan Basin, the upper reaches of the Han River, central and southern North China, and western Huanghuai;
Around the 18th, heavy rainfall will also occur in parts of North China, Huanghuai, Jianghan, Northeast and other places.
The cumulative rainfall in some of the above-mentioned areas was 30% to 2 times more than the same period in normal years.
According to "Ceramic Information", heavy rainfall and floods every year will have a certain impact on the production and sales of ceramic companies, as well as the transportation of raw materials and the normal business of the terminal building materials market.
For example, last year's floods in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River caused many ceramic companies in Hubei and Jiangxi to be flooded, equipment soaked in water, and production stopped; in 2016, many ceramic companies were hit by storms in Danling, Sichuan, with losses up to 20 million yuan. Yuan.
Therefore, this round of heavy rainfall, ceramic enterprises should make full preparations in advance and be alert to the possible bad weather that may occur next.

Heavy rains and floods in history!
A ceramics factory building collapsed, causing losses exceeding 20 million yuan
"Ceramic Information" noted that in the past five years, heavy rainfall and floods that have occurred almost every year have had a certain impact on the ceramic industry. The affected production areas include Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Shandong, Hebei, Sichuan, and Guangdong. Etc., some ceramic companies even suffered losses exceeding 20 million yuan due to severe disasters.
Around July 10, 2020, continuous heavy rainfall occurred in the southern region, and many places suffered from floods. In Jiangxi Gao'an Ceramics Park, the raw material workshops and loading rooms of many ceramic companies were invaded by rain. The continuous heavy rain weather caused many roads to be flooded - ceramic tiles could not be transported out, and raw materials could not be transported in. This has affected the production and sales of ceramic companies. cause greater impact.
In June 2018, affected by the typhoon, Foshan issued a red rainstorm alert. The heavy rainfall caused flooding in some sections of Nanzhuang and Shiwan and traffic jams. Major ceramic markets collapsed one after another, and many low-lying ceramic warehouses were flooded.
On July 15, 2017, the Shandong Provincial Meteorological Observatory issued an early warning signal. More than 50 mm of precipitation occurred in some areas of Linyi, Shandong Province, and there was serious water accumulation around the ceramic factory. Some ceramic factories have serious water accumulation, causing water to enter the equipment and shutting down production.
From July 18 to 21, 2016, heavy rainfall occurred in most areas of Hebei, with the maximum rainfall reaching 771 mm, causing severe rainstorms, floods, landslides and other disasters. 11 cities and 91 cities in Hebei Province including Shijiazhuang and Handan Two million people in the county were affected, 14 people died and 72 people were missing.
Heavy rainfall has also had a serious impact on Hebei's ceramic industry. At that time, heavy rains broke down some roads and bridges, seriously affecting the transportation of products and raw materials. For some low-lying ceramic companies, floods rushed into their factories and workshops, causing some ceramic companies to suspend production.
In addition, dealers also said that due to disaster relief efforts in various places, even if manufacturers brought freight over, no one would unload it because of the rain. The number of people buying bricks for decoration has also decreased a lot, and there was almost no business during the heavy rain. .
On July 29, 2016, Danling County, Meishan City, Sichuan Province was hit by a storm, causing four ceramic companies in the Architectural Ceramics Park to suffer varying degrees of losses. Fortunately, no casualties were caused.
After the storm, one of the ceramics factories suffered varying degrees of damage to its factory buildings, kilns, and gas stations, resulting in direct economic losses of more than 20 million yuan. The buildings of the other three ceramic factories were all blown away by the storm, causing direct economic losses ranging from several million yuan to tens of millions of yuan.
Judging from the above-mentioned past experiences, extreme weather such as heavy rainfall has had a significant impact on the production and sales of ceramic companies, and similar incidents occur almost every year. Therefore, "Ceramic Information" reminds everyone to remember to always pay attention to the weather forecast, take precautions, and do protective work.
