Macktiles Australia in Victoria launched

Mark milestone for Lankan manufacturer
Macktiles has launched Macktiles Australia in Victoria, marking a major  milestone for Sri Lankan manufacturing and a strategic entry into one of the  world’s most design-aware, specification-led building markets.

Backed by Macksons Holdings Group, Macktiles is positioned as Sri Lanka’s  largest turnkey tile manufacturer, with scale and integration that has made it a  leading force in the domestic category. Industry reporting notes that Macktiles’ manufacturing capacity expanded significantly following major investments in technology and production, reaching 44,000 square metres per day, alongside a reported 40 percent share of the local market, establishing the facility as the  country’s largest tile manufacturing operation.

The company has also built an  islandwide footprint through a growing showroom network, including the  opening of its 50th showroom in 2025.

The Australian launch extends a global presence that already includes markets  such as the United States, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Kenya, the Maldives, and  Indonesia, reflecting a deliberate internationalisation strategy rather than a  one-off export push.

Macktiles Managing Director Mizver Makeen said; “Australia is a market that rewards consistency, professionalism, and design integrity. This launch represents the next phase of our long-term global growth strategy. We are proud to take Sri Lankan manufacturing capability into a market with high expectations, and we are committed to building a trusted, enduring presence through strong local  partnerships and reliable delivery.”

Macktiles General Manager, Sales Niroshan Pananwala said the Australia  range has been shaped around how Australians live and build, across homes,  businesses, and shared spaces. “We took time to understand what Australians expect, both functionally and emotionally. They want spaces that work hard, feel effortless, and still look right years later. We have brought global expertise to serve that lifestyle, combining world-class inputs, European technology, and design influence from Spain and Italy, to deliver a product range built for the  Australian standard.”

Macktiles’ production strength is supported by international technical inputs and advanced manufacturing systems, including integrated Italian technology investments designed to expand capacity and elevate global competitiveness.
