Tile Supplier in Cologne
Ceramic and porcelain tiles exported from Morbi, India to Cologne, Germany, in container quantities.
Tile exporter to Cologne.
Lumina Tile supplies ceramic and porcelain tiles to buyers in Cologne from our base in Morbi, Gujarat, the largest tile manufacturing cluster in India. Cologne is the Rhine-Ruhr consumption core with barge access and a dense residential stock driving modernisation demand, and the buyers we work with there are typically builders' merchants and tile specialists.
Cargo for Cologne moves through Rotterdam or Antwerp, then Rhine barge. Sea transit runs roughly 3 to 6 weeks from Mundra, extending further when vessels route via the Cape, 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 domestic tile industry is contracting rather than defending its ground, leaving an import-dependent market with no single gatekeeper. Rhine barge economics via Duisburg often beat Hamburg on landed cost for heavy cargo, which is worth pricing both ways.

Tile importer and distributor supply for Cologne
Most of our Cologne enquiries come from builders' merchants and tile specialists. 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 Cologne
We ship full containers to Rotterdam or Antwerp. 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 Cologne does not have to be a single design.

Common questions
Do you supply tiles to Cologne?
+
Yes. We export ceramic and porcelain tiles from Morbi, India to Cologne in container quantities. Cargo routes through Rotterdam or Antwerp, then Rhine barge, with sea transit of roughly 3 to 6 weeks from Mundra, extending further when vessels route via the Cape. We work with builders' merchants and tile specialists and quote on the Incoterm that suits your operation.
What is the minimum order for Cologne?
+
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 Cologne take?
+
Sea transit runs roughly 3 to 6 weeks from Mundra, extending further when vessels route via the Cape, entering through Rotterdam or Antwerp. 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 Germany?
+
CE marking under the Construction Products Regulation, with a Declaration of Performance against EN 14411; German buyers hold exacting documentation expectations. 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 Cologne?
+
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 Cologne?
+
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.
