Africa
Nonwoven felt supplier from India for African importers.
Needle punched and thermal bonded nonwoven felt and geotextile, 100–1200 GSM, made to your specification and shipped from India to 3 markets across Africa.
We supply from one place: our manufacturing partner, Miracle Nonwoven Industries, in Phagi, Jaipur. You agree the specification with us, approve a sample, and the order is produced and shipped against it, so a question about the material is answered by the people who make it.
Destinations
Where we ship in Africa.
| Destination | Ports buyers commonly use | What they usually ask first |
|---|---|---|
| Kenya | Mombasa | the GSM and roll width the project specifies, and how rolls are packed for the haul inland from Mombasa |
| Nigeria | Lagos (Apapa and Tin Can) and Onne | the GSM and roll width the project specifies, and the documentation the destination port requires |
| South Africa | Durban, Cape Town and Gqeberha | the GSM and puncture resistance the application needs, and which port serves the site |
What the material is used for
Across Africa.
Kenya. Road, rail and drainage projects in Kenya use geotextile, and sea cargo normally arrives through the port of Mombasa.
Nigeria. Road, drainage and erosion-control works in Nigeria use geotextile, and most sea cargo arrives through the Lagos ports or Onne.
South Africa. Mining, roads and civil works shape demand in South Africa, where geotextile and protective felt are the grades buyers ask about most.

Africa: what buyers ask us first
Which ports in Africa do you ship to?
We coordinate shipment to your port of choice. The ports buyers in Africa most often use are listed above, destination by destination. Tell us yours with the enquiry and we will confirm how the order ships.
Which countries in Africa do you supply?
Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa. If your country is not listed, send the enquiry anyway — the material and the process are the same, and the destination mainly affects packing and paperwork.
What do buyers in Africa settle first?
It varies by destination — the table above sets out what each one usually asks about. Across the region it comes down to the specification, the paperwork your customs broker needs, and consistency from one shipment to the next.
What is the minimum order quantity?
It is agreed per order, as it depends on the material, GSM and how much is customised. Tell us the product and quantity you need and our export team will confirm it with your quote.
How soon is an order dispatched?
Usually 4–5 days from order confirmation to dispatch from Jaipur. Sea transit to your port comes on top of that and depends on the route and sailing.
Can you match a nonwoven we already buy?
Yes. Send the specification, or a sample if you have one, and we will quote against it. Fibre, GSM, thickness, width and colour can all be set to match.
Can we see a sample before ordering?
Yes, samples are free, to Africa as anywhere else; delivery time depends on where you are. Test the material in your own process before a bulk order.
