Foshan Aura Stone Co., Ltd. was established in Foshan, China, in 2005. Over the past 20 years, we have grown into a leading supplier and exporter of high-quality building materials and stone products, serving customers in more than 150 countries worldwide, including emerging markets in East Africa like Tanzania.
With two decades of experience, we have accumulated rich industry knowledge and extensive global customer resources. In recent years, the company has focused on upgrading its core competitiveness, investing in mining resource development, intelligent production technologies, and the processing of finished products. Transitioning from a trade-oriented company to a comprehensive import and export enterprise, we now offer integrated solutions that meet the highest international standards.
Our products have been applied in numerous significant projects worldwide, including prestigious government and commercial developments, such as large-scale urban renovation projects in Switzerland, national cemetery constructions in Russia, subway stations in the Netherlands, and many high-end hotel and villa projects. For the Tanzanian market, we bring this same level of rigor, ensuring our soapstone and talc products meet TBS (Tanzania Bureau of Standards) expectations.
Tanzania’s industrial sector is currently undergoing a radical transformation. With the expansion of the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR), the growth of the mining sector in the Lake Victoria Goldfields, and the rise of manufacturing hubs in Dar es Salaam and Mwanza, the demand for high-performance industrial minerals like soapstone (steatite) has reached an all-time high.
Our intelligent production lines ensure consistent micron sizing (D97) for talc powder, a level of precision difficult to achieve with local rudimentary processing.
Direct shipping routes from Guangzhou/Foshan to the Port of Dar es Salaam ensure reduced lead times and lower freight costs for Tanzanian wholesalers.
We provide full documentation and pre-shipment inspections to ensure all stone products pass Tanzania Bureau of Standards (TBS) requirements without delays.
The global soapstone industry is shifting towards Sustainability and Nanotechnology. In the coming years, we anticipate Tanzanian industries will adopt more "Nanoscale Talc Powder" for reinforced plastics in automotive parts and eco-friendly stone for green building projects.
At Foshan Aura Stone, we are already implementing AI-driven quality control to detect mineral impurities at the molecular level, ensuring that every batch of soapstone delivered to Dodoma or Zanzibar is of the highest therapeutic and industrial grade.
We adhere to the corporate values of responsibility, progress, gratitude, and happiness, with a mission to cultivate professional expertise within our team. Our vision is to make architecture worldwide—and specifically the developing skyline of Tanzania—more beautiful and sustainable. Through dedicated service and collaborative innovation, we have earned the trust and recognition of customers across the globe, establishing long-term, win-win partnerships.
Foshan Aura Stone Co., Ltd. continues to advance in technology, design, and global partnerships, committed to creating a lasting impact on the construction and stone industry worldwide.
Typically, ocean freight from Foshan/Guangzhou to Dar es Salaam takes 25-35 days. Production lead time varies from 7 to 15 days depending on the micronization requirements for talc or the carving complexity of stone blocks.
Yes, we provide Certificate of Analysis (COA), MSDS, and can coordinate with SGS or Bureau Veritas for PVoC (Pre-Export Verification of Conformity) as required by the Tanzania Bureau of Standards.
Absolutely. Soapstone is chemically inert and non-porous. It is resistant to heat, acids, and moisture, making it ideal for industrial use in Dar es Salaam or for kitchen countertops in Zanzibar resorts.
For bulk industrial talc or soapstone lumps, our standard MOQ starts at one 20ft container (approx. 20-25 tons), which is the most cost-effective way to import into East Africa.
