HANDCRAFT TILE

Founded in 1926, Handcraft Tile is the oldest tile manufacturer in California and one of only a handful of tile manufacturers in the United States that pre-date World War II. Handcraft Tile began as San José Tile, with a factory on South 18th Street near Coyote Creek. Around 1931, the company moved to a location in Milpitas and the name was changed to Handcraft Tile. The company operated out of the Milpitas Main Street location for over 73 years. Today, Handcraft Tile is still making by hand tile and you’ll find their small manufacturing facility and showroom in Livermore.
