Twyford tiles

Published · Updated

Short answer

Twyford tiles are made by Guangdong Twyford International Holdings, a group founded by China's Keda Manufacturing and Sunda Group. Its website lists production bases in Kenya, Ghana and Tanzania, and a 2017 report placed the Tanzanian tile factory at Pingo village in the Coast Region. Kitovu does not sell Twyford tiles.

Who makes Twyford tiles

Twyford is the tile brand of Guangdong Twyford International Holdings Co., Ltd. The group’s official website says it was set up jointly by Keda Manufacturing and Sunda Group, two Chinese companies, and that its overseas building materials business began in 2016. The site gives the group’s reach as 8 countries, 12 production bases and sales in 50 countries, with building materials plants in Kenya, Ghana and Tanzania.

Twyford tiles in Tanzania

Twyford tiles in Tanzania are made locally. Construction Review Online reported in 2017 that TwyFord Tanzania Ceramics was building a tile factory at Pingo village in the Coast Region, expected to create about 2,000 direct and 4,000 indirect jobs, according to the then Minister for Industry, Trade and Investment, Charles Mwijage. The report said the output would be sold in Tanzania and exported to Malawi, Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The ZoomTanzania business directory lists the company’s Tanzanian office at Ubungo Business Park on Shekilango Road, Dar es Salaam.

Product lines

The group’s website names three product brands:

Product lines
Brand What it covers
Twyford Tile tiles; ZoomTanzania describes the maker as producing ceramic and porcelain tiles
Twyford Glass glass, made at the group’s Tanzanian production base
Frencia toilets, shower enclosures, kitchen and bathroom cabinets, basins and taps

The site does not publish tile sizes, thicknesses or technical data, so ask the dealer for the box label: size, pieces and square metres per box, and the slip rating for floor tiles. Our pages on floor tiles and porcelain tiles explain those figures.

Twyford tile prices

On 12 November 2026 no Tanzanian seller showed a Twyford tile price on its own website with the tile size and unit, so there is no price table here. When you collect quotes, compare the price per square metre, not per box, since box sizes differ between formats.

Does Kitovu stock Twyford tiles?

No. Kitovu does not sell Twyford tiles and is not a Twyford dealer. The tile Kitovu does hold in stock in Zanzibar is a beige 1200 × 600 mm porcelain tile, matt anti-slip R10, for floors and walls. Other brands with their own pages are listed under brands.
