Buying wall tiles from a Morbi manufacturer: a guide for dealers and builders
Morbi in Gujarat is India's biggest ceramic tile cluster. Buying direct from a factory there gives dealers, builders and importers more designs and a single point of contact. Here is how it works.
Morbi, in Gujarat, is India's biggest ceramic tile manufacturing cluster, with hundreds of factories making wall, floor and roof tiles. For tile dealers, builders, architects and importers, buying direct from a Morbi manufacturer means a wider choice of designs, direct answers on availability, and one point of contact from the first sample to dispatch.
This guide explains how buying from a factory works, with our own process at Axoli Tiles as the example.
What to look for in a manufacturer
- The range. Sizes, finishes and designs that suit your market. We make ceramic digital wall tiles in 300 × 300, 300 × 450 and 300 × 600 mm, in matt, glossy and rustic finishes.
- Samples. A factory should send samples before you order. We have samples for every design.
- Clear specifications. Tiles per box, coverage, weight and thickness for each size, so you can plan freight and stock.
- Packing. Strong boxes protect your margin. Ours are laminated, rain-proof 5-ply boxes.
- Response. We reply within one working day.
How the process works
- Enquiry. Tell us your city or country, the designs or collections you are interested in, and the quantities.
- Samples and catalogue. We send samples and share the catalogue, so you can see the tiles in hand.
- Quotation. We share prices and availability for your designs and quantities.
- Order. Designs, sizes and quantities are confirmed.
- Packing and dispatch. The tiles are packed and dispatched as agreed in the quotation.
You can build a list of designs with Add to quote list on any product page and send it as one request.
