Trinidad Aggregate Products Limited

History

Established in 1976, Trinidad Aggregate Product Limited (TAP) is one of the leading producers of clay products in region. We are situated in Longdenville in the Borough of Chaguanas on 44 acres of land. Longdenville is one of the few places in Trinidad where the best blend of clay is found to make the highest quality clay products. The company produces and markets a wide range of Clay products - HOLLOCLAY building blocks, decorative/ventilation blocks, bricks, CARIBE CERAMICS clay paver tiles  (glazed and unglazed) and CARIBE CERAMICS clay roof tiles (glazed and unglazed).

With our commitment to quality, in 1998, we received our certification from the Trinidad & Tobago Bureau of Standards for maintaining a quality system in compliance with ISO 9002 for the production of non-load bearing HOLLOCLAY building blocks and clay decorative/ventilation blocks. In 2003, we upgraded our certification to ISO 9001 for the production of HOLLOCLAY building blocks and clay decorative/ventilation blocks and for the procurement and marketing of glazed and unglazed clay paver and clay roof tiles.

We have embraced a strict customer satisfaction and quality assurance approach, which is aimed at the maintenance of rigid standards and product quality. 

Commissioned in early 2002, our CARIBE CERAMICS tile factory is the only one of its kind in the Caribbean with an annual production capacity of 550,000 sq. m., and is located adjacent to TAP’s HOLLLOCLAY block factory in Longdenville. The tile factory produces high quality glazed and unglazed clay paver tiles, decorative trim pieces and inserts and glazed and unglazed clay roof tiles. These tiles are marketed in Trinidad & Tobago; throughout the Caribbean; the USA and Europe under the brand name CARIBE CERAMICS.
