Wuguxi Cultural Village Introduction
Gongshun Ceramics Company is the predecessor of Wufu Cultural Village, established during the peak of the decorative ceramic industry. In its early days, the Gongshun Ceramics Company rented an abandoned courtyard and renovated it into a workshop, initially entering the ceramics industry by working as an OEM for larger manufacturers. This involved processes such as firing, maintenance, injection molding, painting, and even shipping for other factories, a process that lasted at least two years. Gradually, they began to receive orders directly and, when demand was high, assisted small family-run factories by forming alliances to share some orders. With economic development, the scale of the operations expanded significantly. In the 1980s, as the volume of orders increased, the small workshop became insufficient, leading to the purchase of a factory building (the current location). The new factory transitioned from manual injection molding to automatic assistance, and the square kiln (tunnel kiln) was converted into a tunnel kiln. Now, under the leadership of General Manager Xu Yonghuan, driven by feelings of love for his hometown and the concept of maintaining roots in Taiwan, Gongshun Ceramics Company has focused on sustainable business practices in industrial development, presenting the decorative ceramic culture of Miaoli and the interdependent production model, integrating leisure tourism and cultural heritage to establish "Wufu Cultural Village." This project merges "tradition," "modernity," and "decorative ceramic art" to become a landmark and tourist attraction in Miaoli. In the future, they aim to integrate Miaoli’s decorative ceramics art, Hakka cultural characteristics, and the cultural historical background of the "Five Grains Spirit," actively investing to meet future tourism demands, continuously promoting products that are exquisite, beautiful, and of high quality, creating new added value, shaping the high-quality image of Wufu Cultural Village, and aspiring to become an internationally recognized brand with sustainable operations, moving towards a brilliant future.
