Internship Opportunities at  KEDA (TZ) Ceramic Co. Ltd, Pwani – November 2025

KEDA (T) Ceramic Co., Ltd. is a major international manufacturing enterprise operating in Tanzania, established as a subsidiary of the Chinese-based KEDA Industrial Group Co., Ltd., which has significant global expertise in ceramic machinery and building materials production. The company is a key player in the East African construction sector, specializing in the large-scale production of ceramic tiles (including floor and wall tiles) for both the Tanzanian domestic market and export to neighboring countries like Kenya, Uganda, and Zambia. This significant foreign direct investment (estimated at $70 million for the ceramic plant) contributes substantially to the local economy by creating numerous jobs and promoting import substitution within the building materials industry.

Operating from the Dar es Salaam region (previously under the business name Twyford), KEDA (T) Ceramic aims to meet the growing demand for quality tiles driven by urbanization in Africa. Furthermore, the company has actively expanded its investment beyond ceramics, commencing the construction of a float glass plant in Mkuranga District. This expansion aligns with the Tanzanian government’s push for industrialization, aiming to reduce the importation of glass and increase foreign exchange earnings through international sales, solidifying KEDA’s status as a comprehensive building materials group in the region.
