Large Format Tile Supplier in Canada

Q: 1. Do you accept container loads only, or can we mix products?

Our MOQ is one full 20’ container. Within that container, you can mix up to three different designs/sizes at no extra charge. This allows you to test the market without overcommitting to a single SKU.

Q: 2. How do you ensure the tiles comply with Canadian building codes?

We test every batch to ISO 10545 and ANSI A137.1. We can also provide CSA (Canadian Standards Association) supplementary testing if required – just let us know. Many Canadian distributors obtain their own CSA certification using our test reports.

Q: 3. What payment terms do you offer for first-time buyers?

Standard terms are 30% deposit, 70% against copy of Bill of Lading. For established relationships and larger volumes, we can negotiate L/C at sight or extended terms. We accept T/T, L/C, and some cases of D/P.

Why Import Large Format Tile Directly from Contigo Ceramics Instead of Buying from Canadian Distributors?

Large Format Tile factory direct from Contigo Ceramics Foshan China — Large Format Tile manufacturing at Contigo Ceramics factory

Canadian importers and distributors of architectural and commercial tile face a critical decision: source from local distributors who add layers of margin, or go direct to the source. At Contigo Ceramics, based in Foshan, China, we specialize in manufacturing large format tile for the Canadian market. By buying factory direct, you eliminate intermediary fees, secure competitive FOB pricing, and gain full control over your supply chain. Our tiles meet the rigorous standards demanded by Canadian architects and contractors – no compromises on quality, no hidden costs.

Distributors in Canada often mark up tiles by 30–50%. With Contigo Ceramics, you pay the factory price and only add logistics. That’s a direct route to healthier margins and faster inventory turnover.

Factory Advantages: MOQ, FOB Pricing, and Quality Assurance

Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ): We require only one full container (20’ or 40’ GP) per order – perfect for testing the market or stocking a dedicated product line.

FOB Pricing: All quotes are FOB Foshan/Huangpu port. This means you get the best ex-factory price without inland transport or export documentation worries. We handle everything up to the vessel.

Quality Control: Every batch is tested to ISO 10545 (ceramic tile test methods) and ANSI A137.1 (American National Standard for ceramic tile). Our in-house QC team inspects dimensional accuracy, water absorption, flexural strength, and stain resistance. You receive a compliance certificate with every shipment.
