The Heart of Craftsmanship in Foshan

At Kaolin Surfaces, porcelain is not just a product—it’s a craft, a heritage, and a vision. Born in Foshan, raised in a family tradition, and elevated through global design collaboration, our journey traces back to Guanxing Ceramics, with brands such as Romario, GXW, and Gusto under our umbrella.

Since 1995, we’ve been more than manufacturers—we’ve been trailblazers. Recognised as one of the Top 10 porcelain tile manufacturers in China and a Veteran Brand of Foshan Ceramics™, we produce up to 70,000 sqm daily, powered by smart manufacturing processes and one of the world’s largest AI storage facilities. Sustainability isn’t an afterthought—it’s woven into every tile, every finish, every partnership.

Our heritage in Foshan ceramics sets the foundation for everything we do. We believe tiles are not just building materials—they are expressions of artistry, character, and timeless style.

Foshan: Where Heritage Meets Innovation

Foshan is the pulse of the global ceramic tile industry. Here, clay becomes legacy: durability, elegance, and translucence—the traits that define China ceramic tiles, Foshan porcelain tiles, and Foshan tiles that are now recognised worldwide.

Grounded in craftsmanship traditions passed down through generations, our operations in Foshan bring together:

  • Skilled artisans preserving centuries-old techniques
  • Advanced production technology at an industrial scale
  • A culture that values both East-meets-West design and rigorous architectural standards

This is where luxury surfaces, architectural tiles, and premium finishes are brought to life—with an eye on sustainability, design innovation, and expressive artistry.

Why Foshan is the Global Hub for Tile Manufacturing

Foshan is often referred to as the ceramic capital of the world, and for good reason. As the home to the largest cluster of tile manufacturers in China, Foshan has shaped the global tile industry for decades. Its reputation is built on three pillars: heritage, scale, and innovation.

Generations of families in Foshan have passed down the traditions of ceramic craftsmanship, ensuring that every piece reflects skill and artistry. This foundation of knowledge has made Foshan ceramic tile manufacturers trusted worldwide for both quality and durability.

Equally important is the city’s unmatched scale of production. From boutique studios to large-scale factories, Foshan tiles are exported to every corner of the globe. Kaolin Surfaces is proud to be part of this ecosystem, producing premium porcelain floor tiles that embody both beauty and resilience.

Finally, Foshan leads in innovation. Local manufacturers integrate modern design, digital printing, and sustainable production practices to keep pace with global demand. This unique blend of old and new makes Foshan not just a manufacturing base, but a place where tradition and creativity meet to shape the future of surfaces.

At Kaolin Surfaces, our work in Foshan is more than just production—it is a part of a living legacy that continues to influence architecture and design worldwide.
