Three Shenzhen-listed building-ceramics groups are profiled here for commercial tile projects: Marco Polo (MarcoPolo Holdings, 001386), Dongpeng (Dongpeng Holdings, 003012) and Monalisa (Monalisa Group, 002918). Their FY2025 annual-report summaries provide a starting point for checking the company, office address and published product scope. This is a descriptive round-up, not a ranking or a product approval.
FBM Sourcing manages the entire China procurement package for overseas construction projects. Based in Guangzhou, we work as a China sourcing agent and project procurement service. This guide connects the company profiles to the decisions in a tile order: finish and format, test scope, batch identification, packing and the shipment plan. For the material decision that comes before the brand decision, see our guide to porcelain vs ceramic tiles for commercial projects.
- Record the tile classification. For dry-pressed porcelain under ISO 13006:2018, record Group BIa and water absorption no greater than 0.5% by mass. Porcelain also includes extruded Group AIa. Name the required standard and edition rather than treating GB/T 4100 and ISO 13006 as interchangeable labels.
- Calculate the shipment from the packing. Use square metres and gross weight per carton or pallet, packed dimensions and the proposed container/route limits. Weight, geometry and load distribution all matter.
- Build quantities from the drawings. Separate guest bathrooms, lobbies, corridors and back-of-house by room type and finish. Show cutting allowance and maintenance stock as separate order lines rather than applying a per-key quantity.
- Specify slip performance for each use. Name the method, edition and acceptance requirement for the location. Wet DCOF 0.42 and R9–R13 are not equivalent scales; the distinction is explained below and in our commercial tile slip-resistance guide.
How Were These Manufacturers Selected?
Each profiled company identifies a Shenzhen listing and building-ceramics business in its FY2025 annual-report summary, published in April 2026. Those disclosures were re-read for this revision on 26 October 2026. They support the company profiles below; they do not establish the performance of a quoted tile or the production site that would fulfil an order.
Other tile companies are outside this three-company selection. The order is not a measure of capacity, quality, export experience or suitability for your project. The office addresses are disclosure addresses, not factory-inspection results.
1. Marco Polo (马可波罗)
MarcoPolo Holdings Co., Ltd. (马可波罗, 001386) describes the research, development, production and sale of building ceramics under two own brands: Marco Polo Tiles (马可波罗瓷砖) and L&D (唯美陶瓷). Its annual-report summary gives an office address in Gaobu Town, Dongguan, Guangdong.

Project enquiry: identify the brand, collection, model and finish on every quote line. A group profile does not identify which collection has your required format, edge, surface or test result; keep the sample and quotation references connected to the same product.
2. Dongpeng (东鹏)
Guangdong Dongpeng Holdings Co., Ltd. (东鹏控股, 003012) reports tiles and slabs, whole-house bathroom products and eco new materials. Its bathroom scope includes sanitary ceramics, bathroom furniture, taps and fittings. The summary describes the group’s origins in 1972 and gives its Foshan office address below.

Project enquiry: if the BOQ includes tile and sanitary ware, put both categories in the enquiry but confirm the supplying legal entity, product documentation and terms for each. The group’s published breadth does not establish that one export quotation or contract covers the whole package.
3. Monalisa (蒙娜丽莎)
Monalisa Group Co., Ltd. (蒙娜丽莎, 002918) reports ceramic tiles, ceramic panels (slabs) and thin ceramic tiles. Its summary names building-material dealers, real-estate companies, whole-home decoration enterprises and furniture makers among its customers. It also describes both distribution and direct engineering business; that is a sales-model disclosure, not a commitment to an overseas project’s order terms.

Project enquiry: for slabs or thin tiles, state the exact dimensions, thickness, finish, intended application and installation interface. Include the proposed crate or frame dimensions and gross weight in the quote comparison; a product category name alone does not define the packing or installation system.

Comparison Table: Three Shenzhen-Listed Ceramic Tile Groups
| Company | Office address (annual-report summary) | Listing | Published product scope | Project-specific check |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Marco Polo | Gaobu Town, Dongguan, Guangdong | SZSE 001386 | Building ceramics under two own brands | Exact brand, collection, model and finish |
| Dongpeng | Chancheng District, Foshan, Guangdong | SZSE 003012 | Tiles/slabs; bathroom products; eco new materials | Supplying entity and scope for each category |
| Monalisa | Nanhai District, Foshan, Guangdong | SZSE 002918 | Ceramic tiles, slabs and thin ceramic tiles | Dimensions, application, installation and packing |
Specify Slip Resistance by Location and Test Method
TCNA’s 2026 technical bulletin describes the wet DCOF ≥0.42 criterion for level interior tile floors intended to be walked upon when wet with water, alongside product-use classification under the referenced ANSI tile standards. Specify the applicable edition and test method, ANSI A326.3, and obtain the manufacturer’s classification for the exact product and finish. The value is not a universal approval for showers, slopes, external areas or oily floors.
The classifications distinguish Interior Dry (ID), Interior Wet (IW), Interior Wet Plus (IW+), Exterior Wet (EW) and Oils/Greases (O/G). Match the declaration to the actual use, contamination, cleaning and wear conditions. Record the test device: TCNA’s table footnote ties 0.42 to the BOT 3000E and calls for independently correlated thresholds for equivalent devices.
For the German shod-ramp route, distinguish the test method from the required use class. DGUV’s August 2026 FAQ explains that DIN EN 16165 Annex B incorporates the shod-ramp method previously in DIN 51130; German provisions classify results into R groups. R9–R13 is not a single European wet-floor requirement. The method for displacement space remains in DIN 51130:2023. Read the edition and method on any report labelled “DIN 51130” before using its result.
Put the required method, product/finish reference and acceptance requirement on the RFQ. Agree whether testing is to represent the product type or a particular production batch, who selects the sample, and when the result must be available. Shade and size checks, test reports and batch identification should be traceable to the order; an R class cannot be substituted for a DCOF result by numerical conversion.
Which Published Scope Is Relevant to Your Project?
Use the profiles to start a product enquiry, then compare the actual proposals. Dongpeng reports tile and bathroom categories; Monalisa reports slabs and thin tiles as well as conventional tile; Marco Polo reports building ceramics under its two brands. None of those scope descriptions proves that the other groups lack a required product. For category guidance, see floor tiles sourcing, wall tiles sourcing and our floor and wall covering sourcing range.
| Project scenario | Starting point for an enquiry | Published basis | What decides the order |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tile and sanitary ware in one BOQ | Ask Dongpeng about both categories | Both appear in its annual-report summary | Supplying entities, available models and separate category terms |
| Slab or thin-tile feature designs | Ask Monalisa about the named product categories | Slabs and thin ceramic tiles are disclosed products | Exact format, thickness, application, installation and packed dimensions |
| A specified Marco Polo or L&D collection | Identify the exact brand and model | Both are disclosed own brands of MarcoPolo Holdings | The current sample, specification and supply proposal for that model |
| Several finishes with phased installation | Compare all suitable quoted products line by line | A group profile does not settle SKU availability or order terms | Batch allocation, maintenance stock, packing and shipment sequence |
Build a Tile RFQ That Can Be Compared
Keep the design, quantity and packing information on the same schedule. A useful comparison needs more than a price per square metre:
- Use and product: room/area reference, floor or wall, indoor or outdoor, exposure conditions, brand/model, finish, nominal and working dimensions, thickness and edge treatment.
- Quantity: net measured area by format, the agreed cutting allowance and maintenance stock shown separately, and the installation or shipment phase.
- Performance: product standard/edition, declared classification, relevant test methods and acceptance requirements, and the product and finish identified by each report. ISO’s 13006:2018 catalogue distinguishes the classification standard from the ISO 10545 test series. China’s GB/T 4100-2015 record identifies a modified adoption of ISO 13006:2012.
- Approval and batch records: the approved sample reference, shade/caliber identification used by the supplier, how the order’s batches will be allocated, and the arrangement for maintenance stock from the approved batch.
- Packing and price: square metres per carton, carton gross weight, cartons per pallet, pallet/crate/frame gross weight and dimensions, unit-price basis, included packing, delivery term and named location.
A supplier’s “test certificate” label is not enough: identify the issuing laboratory, tested product and finish, method/edition, results and their relationship to the quoted product. Set any additional testing and sampling requirements in the order rather than assuming every catalogue claim or every production batch has been independently tested.
Check the Container Plan from Packed Weights and Dimensions
Sometimes, on a large project, the tiles alone fill full containers; sometimes the tiles share containers with the other product categories of the same project; and sometimes, in one batch, we combine a dozen or more product categories from several projects of the same client into a few containers — always full containers, and for us this is routine, well-practised work.
Start with the factory’s packing proposal. For a single packed product, a preliminary weight-only estimate is (permitted cargo mass − additional support/securing mass) ÷ packed mass per square metre. “Additional” means mass not already included in the packed-unit weight. For mixed formats, total each actual pallet, crate or frame gross weight once, then add any support, dunnage and securing mass not already included. If a pallet’s gross weight includes its cartons, do not add the carton weights again.
Then check whether the proposed arrangement fits the container and can be supported and secured within the permitted limits. Maersk notes that cargo limits vary by container type and country; its payload definition includes dunnage and cargo-securing arrangements. Hapag-Lloyd’s loading guidance distinguishes payload from the load that the supporting length and floor distribution permit. Confirm the actual booked equipment and route. A generic square-metres-per-container figure cannot replace this check.
For slabs, include the selected crate or frame footprint, loaded height, gross weight and handling arrangement. For phased deliveries, show which formats and batch references are required in each shipment. Changes to format, thickness or packing should flow back into the load plan and freight quotation.
How FBM Sourcing Coordinates a Tile Package
For suppliers you nominate, we charge a 5% commission; for products we source for you, we quote a direct price. A tile package should connect the agreed quotation, product and finish references, approved samples, batch records, maintenance-stock allocation and shipment plan.
One inspection is performed by FBM Sourcing’s own QC team at the factory once bulk production is finished, before shipment, documented in photos and video. The agreed inspection scope and order records define the checks. Laboratory slip-test evidence should identify the relevant product and finish; photos and video document the visual and batch-identification checks. Any specified batch testing and sampling arrangements should be agreed before production.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which ceramic tile manufacturers does this page profile?
Marco Polo (001386), Dongpeng (003012) and Monalisa (002918), using their FY2025 annual-report summaries. These three listed groups are a descriptive selection, not a ranking or proof that a particular factory, product or batch meets your specification.
What standards should project tile meet?
Name the required product standard and edition, classification and tests in the tile schedule. ISO 13006:2018 covers tile definitions and classification; GB/T 4100-2015 is a Chinese product standard that modifies ISO 13006:2012. Reports should identify the quoted product and the relevant test methods. Slip resistance requires its own use-specific assessment.
Does wet DCOF 0.42 suit every commercial floor?
The level-interior-wet criterion discussed by TCNA does not establish suitability for every wet location. Specify the intended use, ANSI A326.3 test details where applicable and manufacturer product-use classification. Showers, external areas and greasy work areas need assessment for their own conditions; a DCOF value is not an R-class conversion.
How much tile fits in a shipping container?
Use actual packed weights and dimensions and the booked container/route limits. Count each loaded unit gross weight once, then add support or securing mass not already included. A weight-only area estimate must also pass the layout, floor-loading and securing checks; there is no single container-area allowance for every tile order.
Can a project buyer order directly from a Chinese tile brand?
Ask the group which legal entity and sales channel will supply your destination, then confirm the minimum order, mixed-SKU policy, packaging and shipment programme. This page has not verified a common minimum order across the three groups. A sourcing agent can coordinate those interfaces for a multi-format project.
What documents should come with a tile order from China?
The agreed product/test information, SKU and batch or shade references, invoice description and HS classification, and a packing list showing quantities, packed dimensions and weights. Check the destination requirements for the actual packaging. ISPM 15 treatment and marking apply to regulated wood packaging; specified processed-wood packaging has exemptions.
