Who We Are

Clay from the cordillera, built for the coastline.

Cordillera Clay Tiles is a Colombian manufacturer of high-density extruded clay roof tiles — engineered for hurricane-prone climates and shipped direct from our factory to projects across the United States and the Caribbean.

Our Story

A factory built around one obsession: the tile.

Everything we do begins with the fired clay in your hand. We extrude at high pressure for superior molecular density, verify every figure with automated quality control, and stamp our origin mark into each piece before it leaves the plant.

That discipline is what lets an architect or importer specify Cordillera with confidence — the same absorption, strength and geometry, container after container.

What We Stand For

Four commitments behind every crate.

Engineering you can specify

Certified extrusion — ≤ 6% absorption, ≥ 400 lbf breaking strength, 100% extruded density. The numbers hold, shipment after shipment.

Certified & stamped

Dignified employment

Our green-state quality control is run by single mothers who are heads of household — meticulous work that transforms families in our community.

Social impact at the core

Zero-waste production

A closed-loop plant: off-spec clay is crushed and returned to the mix, and rainwater harvested from our roofs feeds the process.

0% waste · rainwater-fed

Export built in

Heavy-duty maritime crates and FOB / CIF dispatch from Colombia's major seaports — from a single container to multi-container macroprojects.
