Chaozhou
Chaozhou
Chaozhou is a manufacturing city in eastern Guangdong Province and a key part of the Chaoshan industrial region, with a strong focus on ceramics, sanitary ware, stainless steel products, food processing, and consumer goods manufacturing. The city is highly export-oriented and known for deep specialization rather than diversified heavy industry. Chaozhou is one of China’s most important production bases for ceramics and sanitary ware, supplying tiles, tableware, bathroom fixtures, and decorative ceramics to international markets. The city hosts thousands of OEM and ODM factories producing for overseas distributors, hospitality projects, and private-label brands, particularly across Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Australia. Chaozhou is also known for stainless steel cookware and household products, supported by strong metal-processing capabilities. In addition, Chaozhou has a well-established food manufacturing sector, especially traditional snacks, confectionery, and packaged foods, with suppliers serving both domestic and export markets. Proximity to Shantou Port and regional logistics hubs supports international shipping despite limited local port capacity. Chaozhou is best suited for buyers sourcing ceramics, sanitary ware, stainless steel household products, and food-related manufacturing where craftsmanship, production scale, and cost competitiveness are key priorities.
