Traditional industries in Miaoli
City comprise of pottery and handicrafts. The Ceramic Technique
Promotion Center, National Taiwan Craft Research Institute
is situated in Sawi Liou Liang Lane, Sawi Yuan Li. The pottery
industry Miaoli City used to be booming with its ceramic and
pottery products selling well inside and outside Taiwan. However,
with the factory after factory moving out, the boom has become
a history.
Large-scale factories, such as Chang Chun Petrochemical
Co., Ltd. in 79-hectare Hsishan Industrial Park and Taiwan
Fertilizer Co. Ltd gain much help of rich resources of gasoline
and gas from neighboring Gongguan Rural Township and create
substantial job opportunities.
