Luxi county is the largest electric insulator industry gathering area in China, By 2022, there ae 178 industrial chain enterprises, of which 108 are electric insulator manufacturers, 59 are above standard enterprises, and the number of 10kV and above AC insulator manufacturer accounts for nearly 50% of China. The number of enterprises with 10kV and above AC insulators that have obtained the qualification capability of national grid suppliers accounts for 40% nationwide, and there are 45 enterprises with foreign trade business certifications.
Electric Insulator industry is the first industry and pillar industry of Luxi County.
in recent years, Luxi county has promoted the development of electric insulator cluster at a high level around the goal of the “world’s electric insulators looks at China, and China’s electric insulators looks at Luxi” has been award the honors of China’s electric insulator capital, national electric insulator industry well-known brand creation demonstration zone, national electric porcelain high-tech industrial base, national electric insulator foreign trade transformation and upgrading base, one of the first 20 provincial industrial demonstration industrial clusters in the province, provincial new industrialization industry demonstration base, provincial industrial heritage tourism base, provincial electric insulator industry digital economy agglomeration area and other honors.
Luxi is one of the birthplaces of electric insulator in China, with a history of more than 110 years of industrial porcelain making and a profound cultural heritage of electric insulator. There is a folk saying, “There is Yaoxia first, and then there is Raozhou” Raozhou is today’s Jingdezhen, in the eastern Jin Dynasty, Luxi completed the leap from pottery to porcelain , and excavated the kiln site of the song Dynasty in Yaoxia village, Nankeng town,Luxi county.
Luxi has a unique natural resource, the proven kaolin reserves in the territory of more than 1 billion tons, laying a good foundation for the development of electric industry. In 1905 , the first modern porcelain enterprise in Pingxiang- Pingxiang porcelain co.,ltd. was found in Luxi, making the transformation of Luxi electric insulator from ancient traditional workshop production to modern factory production.
In the early 1930s, in order to avoid the war ,Jiangxi provincial pottery adminstration bureau, Jiangxi ceramic laboratory and Jiangxi Provincial pottery administration bureau, school all moved to Luxi shangbu town together, and also brought the electric insulator industry technology machine and equipment and funds here, making shangbu town gradually become a well-Known electric insulator town in the country.
After the founding of new China, the electric insulator industry is rapidly developing with state-owned collective enterprises as the main body. The exploration of export in the electric industry can be traced back to 1957. In the 1970s electric insulator products led by Pingxiang electric porcelain factory, as one of the export bases for electric insulator products in China were exported to more than 40 countries and regions in Asia, Europe, and America, accounting for 35% of the total export volume of electric insulator in China.
In the early 1990s, driven by the national implementation of energy priority development strategy, Luxi electric insulator industry broke the inherent mechanism and system, gave birth to the first private electric insulator enterprise of China. Stimulated by the sharp increase in demand for electric insulator market, a large number of private electric insulator enterprises appeared in 1999, including more than 70 new electric insulator enterprises and 190 porcelain kilns.
After the basic end of national urban and rural power grid transformation in 2005, the domestic low-grade electric insulator market tends to be flat, and Luxi electric insulator industry adapt to market changes, actively guides technological transformation, improves product structure, enhances product grade, concentrates capital and technical advantages, and set up electric insulator leading enterprises.
From 2001 to 2020, many listed enterprises , central enterprises, leading enterprises settled in Luxi county and established the electric porcelain and electrical research institute, establishing a national electric porcelain testing center, awarded the title of “ China’s electric porcelain capital” making Luxi “electric insulator entry into the ultra-high voltage market and entering the global power grid.
Jiangxi Huayao Electric Co., Ltd. which is located in Shangbu Town Industrial Park, Luxi County, Pingxiang City, Jiangxi Province,China is taking root and growing in such a unique environment. With the complete local industrial chain supporting advantages and its own unremitting efforts and innovative spirit, it has gradually developed into a leader in the industry.
