Spain-Origin Export Logistics · Construction Materials
Construction materials logistics from Spain
Spain is Europe's leading exporter of ceramic tiles, natural stone, and prefabricated building materials. We transport heavy, palletized construction freight on scheduled LTL groupage and dedicated lanes to building sites and distribution centres across Europe.
Why this sector ships with us
The Castellón ceramic cluster — Porcelanosa, Pamesa, Keraben, Peronda, STN — alone accounts for over 90% of Spain's ceramic tile exports. Add Almería marble, Galician granite, Valencia precast concrete, and Basque steel elements, and Spain-origin construction freight is one of the densest verticals on our corridors.
Construction materials are heavy, which makes LTL groupage economics particularly attractive: a 6-pallet ceramic order that would be uneconomical as a dedicated shipment fits neatly into our consolidation schedule at a fraction of the full-truck cost.
Key corridors for construction: Spain→France (renovation boom), Spain→Germany (commercial construction), Spain→UK (customs-managed tiles and stone), Spain→Italy (marble and natural stone trade), Spain→Poland (new-build demand).

Frequently asked
Can you handle the weight of ceramic tiles?
Yes — ceramic tiles are among our most-moved commodities. Our standard equipment handles full pallets at typical tile weights (1,200–1,400 kg/pallet) without issue.
What's the minimum order for LTL?
One standard EUR pallet. For ceramic tiles, most customers ship 3–6 pallets per order on our groupage schedule.
Do you deliver to construction sites?
Dedicated loads can deliver to construction sites with rear-access unloading. LTL groupage delivers to DC or warehouse addresses only — not construction sites.
How do you handle UK customs for tiles?
Ceramic tiles from Spain to UK require standard customs declarations. Our in-house export team handles Spanish export; our UK broker partners handle UK import clearance. HS codes for tiles are straightforward.
