Born from a
Stone of a Thousand Years.
Mintro is a UK-registered material house with workshops in China and offices across London and Belgium. We engineer modern garden vessels from PSW - a proprietary composite of recycled plastic, stone powder, and wood powder, with stone sourced from the same Jun porcelain veins commissioned by China's Tang Dynasty imperial court.
Sustainability is not a feature.
It's the foundation.
Our mission centres on developing eco-friendly solutions that not only enhance the beauty of outdoor spaces but also uphold the principles of environmental preservation. We believe in creating products that harmonise with nature, allowing gardens to flourish while minimising ecological impact.
Env Preservation
Protecting natural habitats through stone-based longevity and resource conservation. We aim for zero environmental extraction.
Reduced Emissions
Low-energy manufacturing processes that minimize carbon footprint at every kiln fire, ensuring a greener future.
Waste Diversion
Converting industrial waste into master-crafted garden architectural pieces, diverting tons of material from landfills.
Economic Benefit
Creating local opportunities in Brussels and London through sustainable trade and ethical craft production.
THE ORIGINOF MINTRO
MINTRO FOUNDERI grew up near Yuzhou, where stone and clay have carried craft traditions for centuries. As a child, I thought materials belonged to museums. Later, I learned they could belong to gardens.
Years later, working with European retailers, I saw the same gap again and again: ceramics were beautiful but fragile, while plastic planters were practical but forgettable.
MINTRO began from that gap - to create vessels with the presence of stone, the resilience of modern materials, and a craft language made for real outdoor spaces.
Built for Real Gardens.
Not display pieces. Not fragile ceramics. MINTRO vessels are made for spaces that live, age, and endure.
Real Outdoor Use
Engineered to withstand the elements, from intense sun and rain to frost and time.
Long-Term Surface Beauty
Naturally rich textures that soften and evolve, never peel, fade, or feel artificial.
Crafted for Modern Projects
Consistent quality, timeless forms, and custom solutions for today's leading design build firms.
Engineered Artistry
The crafting of Jun Porcelain's clay involves a delicate balance of moonstone, quartz, copper oxide, agate, iron ore, and malachite.

Our Process →Every vessel is hand-washed and finished by artisans who understand that true craftsmanship cannot be rushed. Imperfections are not flaws, they are fingerprints of heritage.

For a timeless finish
Made by hand.
From start to finish.
Each Mintro vessel passes through four hand-led stages before it leaves our workshop in Zhengzhou. No two pieces are identical - and that is the signature.
Knead by Hand
Plastic, stone, and wood powders are blended through iterative hand-kneading - significantly enhancing material tensile strength.
Shape by Hand
Form is drawn from molds and refined by craftsmen - proportion, balance, and silhouette set before painting begins.
Paint by Hand
Skilled artisans apply pigment by hand for precise tonal uniformity - replicating natural stone textures and lustres faithfully.
Wash by Hand
Final hand-washing reveals the textural depth of the surface - the matte finish that has come to define Mintro.
