International road freight from Castellón
710 loads originating in Castellón province, moving to 20 countries — and the densest profile of the ten: 3.5 linear metres on average with a great deal of weight inside.
Average transit is a historical door-to-door mean, waiting time included. It is not a committed delivery lead time. How we measure transit times, zone by zone
Castellón is the ceramics cluster. Wall and floor tile from L'Alcora, Onda, Vila-real and Nules concentrates one of Europe's largest production capacities, and that product has very specific physics: heavy, and compact.
That is where the province's defining figure sits. At 3.5 linear metres on average — the lowest of the ten — it might look like little volume moves, and the opposite is true: these are dense pallets that exhaust the weight limit long before the space limit. A tile trailer runs full while looking half empty.
Romania clearly dominates the international destinations with 147 loads, more than France and Germany combined. It is building-material demand in Eastern Europe, and it is the corridor where we hold our own entity at destination.

Frequently asked questions
Why is the linear-metre average so low if tile is bulky?
Because it is not bulky — it is dense. A ceramic pallet is heavy in little space, so the shipment exhausts the weight limit before the metre limit. That is why Castellón has the lowest metre average of the ten provinces, not the lowest weight.
Do you quote by weight or by linear metre?
By whichever binds first, and in ceramics it is almost always weight. Give us real kilos per pallet: in this province that is the figure that decides the price, more than the dimensions.
