Morbi, located in Gujarat, India, is globally known as a leading ceramic and porcelain tiles manufacturing hub. With thousands of factories and a well-developed ecosystem, tiles from Morbi India are exported to countries across the world.
Being based in Morbi, Storico Ceramica operates at the center of this ecosystem, where production, design, and export come together every day.
This is not an outside view of the industry. This is how it works on the ground, every day.
Morbi’s journey into ceramics didn’t begin with modern tiles. Traditionally, the region was known for producing “Naliya” roof tiles, which were widely used across India.
The real transformation began in the mid-1980s, when local entrepreneurs started importing machinery from Italy and Spain. This marked the shift from traditional production to modern ceramic tile manufacturing.
With the economic reforms of the 1990s, the industry expanded rapidly. Supported by infrastructure, raw material availability, and evolving technology, Morbi gradually became a major exporter of ceramic and porcelain tiles.
Today, it stands as one of the largest ceramic production zones globally, supplying tiles to more than 125 countries.
When buyers hear about Morbi, they often think of “large production” or “competitive pricing.”
But the real strength of Morbi goes much deeper.
