Chinese fireworks cakes, candles, shells – demo

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

Yesterday started with a visit to our shell factory to check out the production of our products – we also looked at some new production methods and effects being manufactured.

After lunch (the food was great) - we had a demo, looking at some new shells, cakes and candles - the 3 main types of fireworks.  Nearly all effects being custom made for MLE from ideas and designs previously sent over to the factory.

The standard was consistantly extremely high which is always nice to see – some of the items seen will be added to our range this year and some will be tweaked – all in all a very sucessful day.

Today we’re off to visit a couple more firework factories and later have 2 more firework demos.  We’ll also be meeting our Chinese FireByWire digital firing system agents.

Liuyang – the firework capital of the world

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

Well after the chaos of 600 flights being postponed at Beijing yesterday I finally got to Liuyang in China via another 2 hour flight to Changsha airport.

Liuyang is the firework manufacturing capital of the world. It has literally 1000s of firework factories scattered all around the Hunan countryside.

It is now 945am and we’ve just had a late breakfast before we start a days work looking at the various firework effects and new ideas. We are proud to be associated with the very best factories in China and have great working relationships with our partners here.

Several new ideas are being worked on, some of which are not even of an explosive nature.

Today is much warmer than I have experienced recently. Minus 5 in sunny England to minus 13 in Beijing yesterday. I believe it is around 9 degrees here but I am sure it’s still colder than that.

Update – 1045am and we’re driving to the factory that produce MLEs aerial shells. Later we shall we checking out some new effects and in between grab some lunch. Meals are very important to the Chinese business culture.

More soon…
