Bellavita Tile Announces New ISO-Certified Factory

Bellavita Tile Inc. has announced the opening of a  new world-class manufacturing facility in the northern China metropolis of Tianjin. The new eco-friendly Bellavita Tile production and warehousing center on the Bohai Gulf, 186 miles (300km) southeast of Beijing, uses natural gas that’s piped in directly to fire the kilns. Bellavita Tile has passed on the lower production costs available when burning coal, opting instead for the much cleaner natural gas system to produce its complete range of floor tiles, wall tiles and mosaics.

“We certainly had a great number of things to consider once we decided to establish a facility,” said Mike Ward, U.S. Sales Manager. “The first was that we wanted to do our part in the manufacturing process to be eco-friendly. Thus, the Tianjin factory uses natural gas for tile production and waste gas for secondary combustion.  It also employs a waste-water recycling system and a Centriclean System from Sweden for dust collection.  While it’s a more expensive way to produce tile, our new system clearly has its benefits. It makes a huge difference in air quality, and it provides steadier, more consistent properties for quality control. Taking the long-term view, we felt Tianjin was the way to go to keep our positive momentum in a competitive marketplace.”
