Twyford tiles boost Ghana’s industrial agenda as international demand grows
Twyford tiles exemplify Ghana’s industrial rise, combining innovation, scale and quality to meet growing global demand across premium construction markets worldwide.
Across premium shelves across the United States and Europe, Twyford ceramic tiles, manufactured on factory floors in Ghana by Keda Gh, are redefining global standards for quality, durability and competitive pricing in export markets.
In an era where global markets increasingly reward quality, efficiency and reliability, Keda (Ghana) Company Limited, producers of the renowned Twyford tiles, is positioning Ghana as a formidable player in the international ceramics industry. The company’s recent showcase at Coverings 2026 in Las Vegas, US, underscores a powerful narrative: Ghana-made tiles are not only competitive but are now in high demand across advanced markets.
As the largest ceramic tile and sanitary ware manufacturer in Ghana, Keda (Ghana) has steadily expanded its export footprint, particularly into the United States, Europe and Latin America. Its participation in Coverings 2026 – North America’s premier tile and stone exhibition – marked its second consecutive appearance, reinforcing its strategic ambition to anchor Ghana as a global manufacturing hub.
The exhibition, held from March 30 to April 2, brought together nearly 25,000 industry professionals, including distributors, contractors, architects and real estate developers. Among hundreds of global exhibitors, Keda (Ghana) stood out not merely as a participant, but as a symbol of Africa’s rising industrial capability. Notably, the company remains the first and only ceramic manufacturer from Ghana, and Africa as a whole, to exhibit at the event since its inception in 1990.
At its stand, Keda (Ghana) unveiled a portfolio of Twyford tiles that blend cutting-edge design with superior durability. These products, crafted to meet stringent international standards, attracted significant attention for their aesthetic appeal, consistency and affordability. Buyers and industry stakeholders were particularly impressed by the company’s ability to deliver high-end finishes comparable to European brands, while maintaining cost efficiency; a critical factor in today’s competitive construction and real estate markets.
This growing demand for Twyford tiles in international markets reflects a broader shift in perception about Ghanaian manufacturing. Once considered a largely import-dependent economy, Ghana is now emerging as a credible exporter of value-added industrial products. Keda (Ghana)’s success illustrates how strategic investment, technology transfer and large-scale production can unlock global opportunities.
The company’s expansion is further reinforced by strong institutional backing. During a recent visit to its facilities, John Dramani Mahama commended Keda (Ghana) for its contribution to export growth and industrial transformation. He highlighted the company’s success in penetrating key markets such as the United States, Italy and Spain, noting that its operations align with Ghana’s broader ambition to become a manufacturing powerhouse.
Beyond ceramics, Keda (Ghana)’s ongoing investments including a major glass production project, signals a long-term commitment to deepening industrial capacity. This integrated approach not only enhances product offerings but also strengthens supply chain resilience, making Ghana an attractive base for serving global markets.
Crucially, the company’s model demonstrates how local production can meet global demand without compromising on quality. From raw material sourcing to final product finishing, every stage of production is optimised for efficiency and scale. This has enabled Twyford tiles to transition seamlessly from domestic use to international distribution, gaining traction among discerning buyers in highly regulated markets.
As global supply chains continue to evolve, the success of Keda (Ghana) offers a compelling case for Ghana’s industrial future. It highlights the potential of export-led manufacturing to drive economic growth, create jobs and enhance the country’s global competitiveness.
Today, Twyford tiles are not just building materials – they are ambassadors of Ghanaian excellence, shaping skylines and interiors across continents while reinforcing the country’s place in the global industrial landscape.
