Tan Ky enhances the value of Cua brick and tile products

Application of automation line

In 2006, the Cua tile production and trading service cooperative in Nghia Hoan commune, Tan Ky district was established. Through the production and trading process, the cooperative has created trust for customers inside and outside the province. The Cua tile brand has been affirmed and is increasingly chosen by many customers.

In particular, in 2007, Cua tile products were protected as trademarks under Decision No. 4068/QD-SHTT issued by the Department of Intellectual Property on April 10, 2007. This is one of the early protected products in Nghe An province and is an important condition for spreading the Cua tile brand. The product was soon available throughout Nghe An province as well as Ha Tinh, Quang Binh, Hai Phong, Thanh Hoa provinces, and even Xieng Khouang and Kham Muon provinces of Laos... Due to good consumption, at that time, a part of the people in Nghia Hoan commune who were engaged in Cua tile production really "changed their lives".

Up to now, after many years of implementing the local investment attraction policy, brick and tile products in Tan Ky district have been invested, the production process is completely carried out on modern robot technology lines, producing good quality products to meet the increasingly high demands of the market.

At Tan Ky tunnel brick and tile factory in Ky Son commune, with new and modern technology from Germany, Hungary, Vietnam, has produced construction brick products made from clay: Solid bricks and 2-6 hole bricks; fired tiles. With vacuum extrusion technology, heated by thermoelectric heating, has produced products that meet the most stable standards possible. The total capacity of the factory is 40 million bricks/year.

In the production areas, only a few workers are present to press the buttons to control the robotic machines that operate continuously for many hours. An engineer of Tan Ky Tunnel Brick and Tile Factory said: Now, production is on a 4.0 automated line, so from 400 workers who were working manually, now it has been reduced to only 50 workers operating the machines. Not only that, the products are more beautiful and of higher quality. This is the success of the factory in particular and of Tan Ky brick and tile products in general.

It is known that in Tan Ky district, there are also a number of high-quality clay brick and tile production facilities in some communes that have applied new production technology for many years, producing quality products, meeting the needs of the construction materials market.

Initial success of a project

In recent years, the Tan Ky District Party Committee and People's Committee have focused on directing the development of construction materials production to become a key industry of the district.

Accordingly, Tan Ky district issued the Project "Developing construction materials production in Tan Ky district for the period 2021-2025, with a vision to 2030", aiming to increase the value of industrial production, contribute to increasing budget revenue and shifting the district's economic structure towards industrialization and modernization, always affirming the important position of the construction materials production industry in the district's economy. Developing construction materials production has contributed to creating jobs in the district, increasing workers' income, and improving people's lives.

According to the Project, for fired clay roof tile products, in the period of 2021-2025, production will be stabilized, creating quality roof tile products from two brick and tile factories, Hoang Nguyen Brick and Tile Factory (Nghia Dung Commune) and Binh An Brick and Tile Factory (Tan Long) with a capacity of 35 million tiles/year; Complete the construction of a high-tech brick and tile factory invested by Cua Tile Village Service Cooperative in Nghia Hoan Commune Industrial Cluster, with a capacity of about 20 million tiles/year, bringing the "Ngoi Cua" brand back to the market inside and outside the province; Complete and put into operation the tile factory invested by Cua State Trading Company Limited in Nghia Hoan Commune with a capacity of about 13 million tiles/year.

Attracting investment in 1-2 more high-tech glazed tile factories in the district, with high-end gas-fired tile products that have little impact on the environment with a capacity of about 30-40 million tiles/year. By 2025, Tan Ky district strives to have a total production output of about 70-80 million tiles/year, enough to supply the market in the district and neighboring districts.

Also according to the Project, the goal for the 2025-2030 period is to maximize the capacity of existing facilities in the previous period with a total capacity of 70-80 million tiles/year. By 2030, the total capacity of fired tiles in the whole district will be over 120 million tiles/year, of which tunnel fired tiles will be about 70 million tiles and high-tech glazed tiles will be about 50 million tiles/year.

Mr. Phan Van Giap - Chairman of Tan Ky District People's Committee said: Tan Ky District is considered a locality with advantages in developing construction materials, especially bricks and tiles. That is, there are clay mines in the communes: Nghia Hoan, Nghia Thai, Tan Long, Nghia Dung, Nghia Phuc, Dong Van, Nghia Hanh... with reserves of over 760 million tons. After more than 2 years of implementing the "Project on developing construction materials production in Tan Ky district for the period 2021-2025, with a vision to 2030", initial positive results have been achieved.

In fact, the brick and tile production line of Tam Tai Construction and Transport Joint Stock Company and Hoang Nguyen Company Limited is a proof of the initial success of the project, after many years of testing and applying science and technology to production, meeting the increasing demand of consumers in the market. Currently, the District People's Committee is assigning specialized departments and branches to review and evaluate the implementation results, from which, continue to have more drastic directive measures, in the spirit of maximizing the potential and advantages of Tan Ky as construction materials. On that basis, Tan Ky district continues to call for investment, apply high technology to produce and process construction materials, in order to increase the value of construction materials in the area, such as: high-tech bricks and tiles...
