SUNDA INTERNATIONAL? Housemart?
Established in 2000, Sunda International Group is one of the international trade enterprises which penetrate into overseas markets such as Africa and South America at the earliest.
The Group now has become a transnational industrial (ceramics, sanitary ware, hardware accessories, daily cleaning products and personal care products), with eight production bases that include countries like Ghana, Kenya, Tanzania and Senegal.
In Peru, Sunda International was established as Housemart, which deals with the marketing of Twyford brand ceramic products (imported) and other items for construction and home improvement.
KEDA Industrial Group
This industrial group deals with various segments such as ceramics, lithium batteries, energy, machinery and construction materials.
In the ceramic segment it acquired Italian companies such as ICF. Welko (2018), FDS molds (2023) and 40% of the Chinese enamel and pigment company SinoCera Create-Tide (2023).
It stands out in the design and turnkey delivery of complete plants for the manufacture of ceramic and porcelain tiles, competing with Sacmi.
They are also associated with a participation in the partnership with ceramic manufacturers to establish themselves more quickly in new markets, as is the case with Sunda in Africa.
Keda supplies kilns and machinery to Tengda, Time Ceramic and Sunda.
In the annual report of MECS / ACIMAC it was announced that global ceramic consumption fell by 10.9% in 2022 compared to the previous year, as a result of the energy crisis, inflation and a cooling in consumption. In Latin America the drop in 2022 reached 14.3%.
