Large Format Tile for Singapore Importers – Factory Direct from Contigo Ceramics, Foshan

For importers and distributors in Singapore, the sourcing decision for large format tiles comes down to one question: buy from local distributors at 30–50% markup, or go factory direct to unlock FOB Foshan pricing, own-label branding, and full control over quality?

At Contigo Ceramics, we have been supplying bulk large format porcelain tiles to Singapore since 1999 – long before most competitors started exporting. Our factory in Foshan, Guangdong operates its own kiln and full production lines, allowing us to offer consistent quality, fast turnaround, and pricing that Singapore importers can build their business around.

Why Buy Large Format Tile Direct from Contigo Ceramics?

Price comparison: direct vs. local distributor

Typical Singapore distributor markups on imported porcelain large format tiles range from 35% to 60% above FOB price, depending on volume and logistics handled. When you buy direct from Contigo Ceramics:

  • FOB Foshan price for a 1200×2400mm polished porcelain tile: $4.20 – $6.80/m² (depending on surface, thickness, finish).
  • Local Singapore distributor price (after freight + GST + margin): typically $7.50 – $11.00/m².
  • Savings of 30–40% per container – directly into your margin.

And because we handle production under one roof, you control delivery, avoid middlemen, and can private label for your own brand presence.

Factory Advantages – ISO 10545 / ANSI A137.1 Certified

Contigo Ceramics is not a trading company. We manufacture every tile:

  • Own kiln (SACMI / Italian press technology) – consistent firing temperature ±1°C
  • Full production line: body preparation, glazing, digital decoration, rectification, polishing
  • Quality control per batch – thickness tolerance ±0.5mm, length/width ±0.8mm, water absorption ≤0.5% (porcelain)
  • MOQ 1 × 20ft container (approx. 1,000m² depending on tile size) – ideal for importers testing the market
  • FOB Foshan / Huangpu port – we manage loading, documentation, and customs clearance

Our products are tested to ISO 10545-2 to -16 (dimensional, mechanical, thermal, chemical resistance) and compliant with ANSI A137.1 standards (for US/Canada projects, but benchmarked by importers globally). Certificates available on request.

Why Contigo Ceramics – 20+ Years of Foshan Manufacturing

  • Founded 1999 – one of the original Foshan tile factories serving international markets
  • Own kiln + 8 production lines – capacity 2,800m²/day

Minimum is 1 × 20ft container (approx. 1,000m² for 600×1200mm, less for 1200×2400mm due to packing limits). We can also discuss smaller LCL shipments (min. 200m²) for new clients.

Absolutely – we print your brand on boxes, corners, and shrink wrap. Container load orders can be supplied with your own packaging design (MOQ for custom packaging: 2 containers).
