Manufacturer Xiamen R&T Plumbing Technology Co Ltd has commenced a project to invest 742 million yuan ($101 million). The project aims to build a production line capable of producing 100,000 sets of prefabricated smart sanitary ware products annually.
Prefabricated integrated sanitary ware is a new bathroom renovation method, where sanitary facilities are prefabricated in factories and then assembled on-site.
When it starts production, the new facility will further boost the quality and scale of the company's prefabricated smart bathrooms and drainage system products.
This will pave the way for positive refinements of the company's product structure, improving the industry supply chain and its capacity to comprehensively serve its customers.
R&T is part of the wider development of the plumbing and sanitary ware industry in Xiamen, a major production hub for high-end plumbing and sanitary ware products globally.
Xiamen is said to lead the nation in the export volume of high-end faucets, toilet seat covers and lids and hose production and sales.
Of the seven plumbing and sanitary ware companies currently listed on stock markets in China, four are based in Xiamen, with their products being exported to over 180 countries and regions worldwide.
