Tile Supplier in Kolwezi
Ceramic and porcelain tiles exported from Morbi, India to Kolwezi, DR Congo, in container quantities.
Tile exporter to Kolwezi.
Lumina Tile supplies ceramic and porcelain tiles to buyers in Kolwezi from our base in Morbi, Gujarat, the largest tile manufacturing cluster in India. Kolwezi is the cobalt and copper mining centre with employer-driven housing and facility construction, and the buyers we work with there are typically mining procurement teams and contractors.
Cargo for Kolwezi moves through Dar es Salaam or Durban, then road. Sea transit runs roughly 30 to 45 days to Matadi, transhipped; the southeast is often faster door to door via Dar es Salaam despite the long inland haul, so most buyers plan a reorder before the previous container clears. We quote on the Incoterm that suits your side, and the technical file travels with the shipment.
The DRC has the largest population and construction market in Central Africa, with a housing deficit above three million units. Matadi is congested and a single road links it to Kinshasa, so we quote inland lead times generously rather than optimistically.

Tile importer and distributor supply for Kolwezi
Most of our Kolwezi enquiries come from mining procurement teams and contractors. If you are importing to stock and resell, we can hold artwork and run repeat lots so your shelf stays consistent between shipments. If you are buying against a specific project, we can produce to the drawing and grade the lot to the standard the specification asks for.
Bulk and container-load orders to Kolwezi
We ship full containers to Dar es Salaam or Durban. A 20ft container carries roughly 1,100 to 1,400 square metres depending on size and thickness, and a 40ft roughly double that. Mixed containers across sizes, surfaces and designs are normal for us, so a first order to Kolwezi does not have to be a single design.

Common questions
Do you supply tiles to Kolwezi?
+
Yes. We export ceramic and porcelain tiles from Morbi, India to Kolwezi in container quantities. Cargo routes through Dar es Salaam or Durban, then road, with sea transit of roughly 30 to 45 days to Matadi, transhipped; the southeast is often faster door to door via Dar es Salaam despite the long inland haul. We work with mining procurement teams and contractors and quote on the Incoterm that suits your operation.
What is the minimum order for Kolwezi?
+
One full container. A 20ft container holds roughly 1,100 to 1,400 square metres depending on tile thickness and size, and a 40ft holds roughly double. If you need several sizes or designs, we can mix them within one container rather than making you order a container of each.
How long does shipping to Kolwezi take?
+
Sea transit runs roughly 30 to 45 days to Matadi, transhipped; the southeast is often faster door to door via Dar es Salaam despite the long inland haul, entering through Dar es Salaam or Durban. Production time is separate and depends on whether the design is in stock or being run for you. We confirm both dates at the quote stage rather than after you commit.
What documentation do you provide for import into DR Congo?
+
A mandatory pre-export verification programme applies above a value threshold, with markings and instructions required in French or English, and a cargo tracking note is also needed. Every shipment travels with the packing list, commercial invoice, certificate of origin and the full technical file, so your customs broker and your customer both have what they need.
Can you match a tile we are already selling in Kolwezi?
+
Usually. Send a photo and the dimensions and we will look for the closest design in the library. We hold the artwork for everything we produce, so once you have chosen a design, repeat orders match your first shipment rather than drifting shade to shade.
What sizes and finishes can you ship to Kolwezi?
+
The full range: 49 sizes across eight categories from 5 x 25 cm subway up to 160 x 320 cm slabs, in 15 surface finishes, 6 to 20 mm thick. Available finishes vary by size, and the size chart on this page lists which surfaces each size is produced in.
