📈 Macktiles Australia Launches in Victoria

Macktiles, backed by Macksons Holdings, has officially launched Macktiles Australia in Victoria. This marks a strategic shift from basic exports to a permanent, specification-led presence in a high-demand global market. • Production & Market Power The company currently operates as Sri Lanka’s largest turnkey tile manufacturer with a daily capacity of 44,000 square metres. It commands a dominant 40% share of the domestic market and reached a milestone of 50 local showrooms in 2025. • Strategic Global Footprint The Australian expansion is part of a deliberate internationalization strategy, moving beyond a "one-off export" model. Existing markets include the US, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Kenya, the Maldives, and Indonesia. • Technical Edge & Inputs Manufacturing utilizes advanced Italian technology (SACMI & Systems) and design influences from Spain and Italy. The ceramics and porcelain range is optimized for Australian standards, focusing on high-spec durability and functional design for residential and commercial sectors. • Economic Impact By leveraging high-quality local raw materials and value-added manufacturing, the move strengthens Sri Lanka’s non-traditional exports. The expansion aims to position Sri Lankan tiles as an iconic global brand, similar to tea and apparel.
