Machuca Tile Inc., originally called Mosaicos Machuca, is the oldest tile manufacturing business in the Philippines, dating back to the early 1900s. Baldozas mosaicos was the proper term describing the Mediterranean cement tiles, more popular at present as Machuca tiles, named after Don Pepe, son of the premier producer of baldozas mosaicos in the Philippines, Don Jose Machuca y Romero.[1]
Don Jose Machuca y Romero was the primary producer of Mediterranean tiles in the Philippines during the early 1900s. His son, Don Pepe, who was an Audencia, established Mosaicos Machuca at an ancestral house in Calle Tanduay in San Miguel, Manila while the tile factory was located beside the Pasig River. They pioneered wet and dry processes of making Mediterranean-designed cement tiles in the Philippines.[1]
Machuca Tiles Inc. is now managed by Arch. Luis P. Machuca Jr., a fourth generation member of the Machuca family.[1]
Location
In 1993, the showroom of Machuca Tile Inc. was transferred to its present location at the ground floor of J y J Condominium, #867 General Solano Street, San Miguel, Manila. On the other hand, their factory was located at Lot 17 Marian Park, Road I, East Service Road, South Superhighway, Parañaque.[1]
Machuca Tiles
Machuca Tiles Inc. uses a traditional method of making tiles without baking. They also use Lansco powder from Spain, to achieve a traditional earth tone palette. The tiles' rustic look is characterized by intricate border motifs and muted colors with hand-brushed quality and sophisticated palettes.[2]
The standard size of the tiles was 8 in. by 8 in. (200 mm by 200 mm).
