What Monalisa Group does

Monalisa Group Co., Ltd is a China A-share listed (ticker 002918) ceramic and porcelain surface manufacturer founded in 1992 in Foshan, Guangdong, operating four major production bases and exporting to more than 100 countries. Its product portfolio centers on ceramic tiles and ultra-large format porcelain slabs — including the Monalisa Slab series in sizes up to 9000x1800mm and 1830x6100mm with 10.5mm thickness — supplemented by Rigid Core SPC flooring (ME and MB Series) and organized into five collections: Premium Collections (130+ materials), Designer Tiles, Classic Series, Project Series, and Rigid Core (776+ materials in total across all categories).

The company's technical platform rests on molecular sintering at 1200°C for absolute density, robotic diamond-cutting achieving tolerances below 0.1mm, 2800t press strength capacity, and a patented zero-carbon ammonia-hydrogen combustion kiln that is positioned as the world's first commercial implementation in ceramic manufacturing. Digital Glazing AI uses neural-network driven pattern generation to expand aesthetic variety. Manufacturing is supported by photovoltaic systems, 100% water recycling (zero industrial effluent), and 100% solid-waste recycling back into production.

Monalisa monetizes primarily through one-time B2B sales of ceramic tiles, porcelain panels, and SPC flooring via a multi-tier go-to-market model: an Authorized Distributor program with exclusive territory rights and volume-based rebates, an Architect & Designer program providing BIM/CAD technical data and priority customization, a Professional Contractor program with installation certification and job-site support, and direct project sales for large-scale engagements such as airports, hotels, convention centers, and residential developments. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific. The customer base spans commercial architecture, hospitality design, and residential luxury, with named landmark projects including Marina Square (170,000㎡), Yogyakarta International Airport (80,000㎡), Royal Atlantis Dubai, Clearpoint Residences (50,000㎡), and Magam Ruhunupura Convention Center (80,000㎡). The portfolio of certifications — LEED Platinum, ISO 9001/14001/50001, CE, China Quality Award, Carbon Label, and 3C — supports both international market access and ESG-mandated procurement positioning.
