Mona Lisa Group Co., Ltd., formerly known as Qiao East Wall Floor Tile Factory, was the first to launch porcelain printing in 1992, with a revenue scale of more than 1 billion, and is also one of the few Foshan ceramic enterprises listed on the A-share market in the industry.
Mona Lisa was recognized as a national high-tech enterprise as early as 2008, with R&D capabilities at the forefront of the industry, and is the drafting unit of 24 national and industry standards such as "Ceramic Brick" GB/T4100 and "Glass-ceramic Ceramic Composite Brick" JC/T994, and led the drafting of the international standard of "Thin Ceramic Tile (Plate)" on behalf of China. As of December 2018, Mona Lisa Group has obtained a total of 695 patents, including 62 invention patents (including 2 foreign invention patents) and 56 utility model patents.
Mona Lisa is also a veteran enterprise in China, is one of the first batch of ceramic tile overseas market enterprises, the strength is glazed bricks, the concept of antique bricks is from overseas, so generally rely on exports to start ceramic tile enterprises in the antique bricks will not be too bad.
The same is true for Mona Lisa, although the cost performance of polished tiles is relatively average, but antique bricks and interior wall tiles are not bad, and the research and development capabilities are relatively strong, and in recent years, they have also begun to pay attention to the domestic market. The disadvantage of Mona Lisa is that the price is a little higher, and the slightly higher grade products are basically more than 300 yuan per square meter, and the cost is still relatively high for large-scale home decoration, and most domestic users are still in the stage of pursuing practicality, and the factor of cost performance is still more important at this stage.
In terms of production equipment, Mona Lisa has introduced a dry pressing 16800T brick press, which can press out 1200×2400mm ceramic slabs, which is slightly inferior to Nobel and New Pearl Group, but it is also in a relatively high position in the industry, far from being comparable to small factories thrown privately.
Another difference of Mona Lisa is that you can check the detailed test report of each product on the official website, which is very helpful for defining product categories, performance, etc., which is not done by other manufacturers.
Judging from the official website, Mona Lisa has more than 100 types of antique bricks, which is relatively large in the whole industry, and the products are mainly matte surfaces, covering various styles such as imitation stone, pastoral, retro, etc., but there are relatively few wood grain bricks. In addition to porcelain tiles with a water absorption rate of less than 0.5%, there are fine stoneware bricks with a water absorption rate of 3%-6%, so you need to pay attention to screening when purchasing, if it is used in the living room, bedroom and other indoor floors, you should choose porcelain tiles with low water absorption.
In addition to the core brand of Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa Group also has the Great Wall, QD two brands, multi-brand development is actually the norm in the industry, although the brand is different, but the physical properties of the tile will not be much different, the main difference is in the glaze design, if you feel that the price of Mona Lisa is too high, you can consider these two brands. However, in terms of user evaluation, the problem of the Great Wall is that the product design can not keep up, if you just consider pure practicality, you can still choose, QD is the original Qiaodong, its problem is that the number of stores in the country is relatively small, so it may not be able to buy.
