Every year, HOMEDEPOT-a large construction material supermarket in America purchases about 1 billion US Dollars worth of ceramics (Chinese ceramics account for 20 million US Dollars).

每年仅美国大型建材超市homedepot就采购约10亿美元陶瓷(中国陶瓷约占2000万美元)。

FRANK, vice President of HOMEDEPOT points out that Chinese ceramic manufacturers should first contact agents of buyers and that it's useless to blindly send samples directly to buyers.

HOMEDEPOT副总裁FRANK指出，中国陶瓷制造商要先接触采购商的代理商，盲目地直接向采购商邮寄样品是毫无用处的。

FRANK, vice President of HOMEDEPOT said that except for dimensions, specifications and shapes, the water absorption of ceramic tile should also keep in line with overseas architecture and design.

HOMEDEPOT副总裁FRANK说，除尺寸规格和形状外，瓷砖的吸水率等也要和海外建筑设计接轨。
