A2,Where to Find Tile Manufacturers and Suppliers in China?
Most cities and provinces in China specialize in the manufacture of
specific products. Most suppliers of a certain product are grouped
together in one area. This concept makes it easy for importers to
source products from China. If you are sourcing tile from China,
here are the places you need to look into:
1.Foshan, Guangdong Province, World’s Capital of Tile
Foshan is a hub for ceramic tiles. About 350 ceramic tile producers
with an annual production of about 1.2 billion square meters of
ceramic tiles are based in Foshan, Guangdong Province. In the past
10 years Foshan has produced 54% of China’s total ceramic tile
output and 25% of the world’s total production of ceramic tiles.
5,000 years of production experience makes Foshan the leading
ceramic tile producer in China. Foshan ceramic tile suppliers
continuously work on improving the designs of their ceramic tiles.
They thrive to match the quality of ceramic tiles produced in Spain
and Italy making their exports to major Western markets grow.
8 out of the 10 “China Famous Brands” named by the government are
based in Foshan, Guangdong Province.

2.Zibo, Shandong Province, Where Low-Value and Glazed Polished Tile
Are Mainly Produced
Since 2012 the quality of tiles produced in Shandong have improved
tremendously. The cost advantage of the province has been
attracting foreign buyers. Shandong tile exports have reached
record highs making it rank as the third province in China in terms
of tile exports.
Comparing with Foshan tile,Shandong tile is not so high quality but
with lower price.Why?Raw material is the most imporant
point.Geography determines the soil in Shandong is worse than
Foshan’s.Moreover,most Foshan factories use ink imported from Spain
or Italy.Shandong factories use local ink in order to save more
cost.There are more production technologies decide the Foshan tile
quality is better.I will write other detailed article on how to
distinguish good and bad tiles in near future.
3.Fujian Province, Where Low-Value and Wall Tile Are Mainly
Produced
Most of the exterior tiles exported by China are produced by small
family owned workshops in this province. Each workshop would only
have about 5 to 10 workers work on a project at a time. Having
small workshops, they can offer lower prices.
If you are not too meticulous about quality issues, the tiles
produced in this region are an ideal choice.
A3,How to Search Tile Suppliers from China Online?
If you want to import tiles from China, the internet is your
easiest option to find suppliers. Suppliers may be classified
either as factories or traders. Of course it would be cheaper to
source tiles directly from factories although at times it can be
difficult to discern which supplier is a factory or a trader.
In the internet, you will find B2B market places for tiles from
China, the most reliable of which are alibaba.com . Searching
through these platforms will give you a wide choice of suppliers.
When sourcing tiles from China, you could either do the entire
process yourself or work with a sourcing agent. A sourcing agent
could be an individual or a firm based in China who could do the
legwork for you. Sourcing agents could help you source suppliers,
negotiate prices, place orders and monitor deliveries.
