From India to USA: The Journey of a Tile That Lasts a Lifetime

When you step across a stunningly tiled floor, you don't think about the remarkable life journey each tile has undertaken. At Wintel Surfaces, each tile starts out in the depths of India—where technology and time-honored techniques converge—and finds its way into residences and commercial establishments throughout the United States. This is the tale of a tile crafted not only to decorate surfaces, but to endure a lifetime.

Step 1: Procuring the Best Raw Materials

We start by procuring the best raw materials from India's mineral-rich zones. We work with the most long-lasting and reliable clays, natural minerals, and additives only. This is the starting point for tiles that are not just resilient but also resistant to temperature fluctuations, moisture, and abrasion.

Step 2: Cutting-Edge Manufacturing in India

At Wintel's world-class manufacturing plant in Morbi, Gujarat—the tile hub of India—we utilize precision-based processes such as:

  • Digital printing for hyper-realistic surface finishes
  • High-pressure hydraulic presses for consistent density
  • 1200°C kiln firing for exceptional strength

This guarantees each tile is dimensionally precise, scratch-resistant, and constructed to withstand.
Step 3: Quality Assurance and Certification

Each tile goes through several quality inspections before a single tile is shipped by packaging it:

  • Water absorption testing
  • Bending strength testing
  • Surface abrasion rating (PEI rating)
  • Dimensional accuracy and visual inspection

We hold the ISO 9001:2015 certification and all our products are in line with the ANSI and ASTM standards necessary for imports to the United States.

Step 4: Sustainable Packaging and Logistics

Sustainability is at the heart of Wintel's international operations. Our packaging is made of recyclable, shock-resistant materials to ensure the least breakage during transportation. We also streamline shipping via full-container-loads (FCL) to minimize carbon footprint and freight expenses.

Step 5: Export to the USA – Seamless Global Supply Chain

With export experience spanning years, Wintel provides a smooth journey from India to the key ports of America such as New York, Houston, and Los Angeles. Our associations with global logistics companies enable us to promise:

  • On-time delivery
  • Customs clearance assistance
  • Inventory and real-time tracking assistance

We deal with distributors, developers, and retailers in the U.S., providing customized product solutions as well as private labels.
