For Indian manufacturers
Indian manufacturing quality, sold locally in Zanzibar.
Indian tiles, sanitaryware, electricals and building products already have a reputation African buyers respect. Zanzibar's finishing-heavy pipeline — hotels, villas, refurbishments — is exactly that demand.
In short
Indian manufacturers enter Zanzibar through verified listings, representation to contractors and developers, and coordinated mainland-to-island or direct supply — particularly strong for tiles, sanitaryware, electricals and finishes.
The programme positions your ranges where finish decisions happen: marketplace listings for package buyers, samples and displays for touch decisions, and representation with the specifiers who choose.
Finishes are your lane
Tiles, sanitaryware, paints and electricals dominate Zanzibar's finish specifications — your core strengths.
Samples convert
Finish quality is judged by hand and eye; local sample logistics are coordinated for you.
Repeat developments
One developer approval repeats across phases and projects — representation compounds the win.

Direct answers
Can an overseas manufacturer join without a local company?
Yes. Overseas manufacturers participate without opening a Zanzibar company or hiring staff — Zanzibaba acts as the local commercial gateway, handling presence, representation and follow-up.
Who handles shipping, customs and delivery?
Per agreement: you can supply directly, or Zanzibaba coordinates consolidation, importation, clearing and last-mile delivery to site. Import requirements are captured during application.
Who controls my pricing?
You do. Public prices come only from data you approve; otherwise listings show price on request. Plant and factory pricing is never exposed without your permission.
How do we communicate across time zones?
Applications, catalogues and approvals run through the structured online flow; hot opportunities are escalated by phone/WhatsApp. You stay reachable — we do the island legwork.
Do you work with our existing African distributors?
Yes — existing channel relationships are respected and mapped during onboarding; the programme complements rather than bypasses your current routes to market.
