The natural stone reserves of the Sapanca and Sakarya region hold marble and granite varieties in high demand across international markets. Sipahi Mermer uses its Sapanca-based logistics advantages to export natural stone to European, Middle Eastern, and Far Eastern markets with the accumulated craft of many decades. We offer service across three export formats: raw block, semi-finished, and fully finished product.
Sapanca's connections via the TEM Motorway and the Gebze–Halkalı rail line make the region strategically valuable for export logistics. Marble varieties extracted from the Sakarya basin, combined with the Bilecik region, form one of Turkey's richest stone belts. Our storage and processing facility based in Sapanca allows export orders to be prepared quickly. We can offer international buyers FOB Turkey or CIF destination-port pricing.
Export shipments coordinated through our Sapanca logistics center have gone primarily to Gulf-state residential projects, European spa and hotel renovation projects, and Far Eastern luxury-segment construction. Sipahi Mermer prepares international quality inspection documentation (DIN, EN 1341/1342) for every export lot and packages products to meet the buyer country's import requirements. All products leaving our Sapanca warehouse are packed in CE-marked wooden crates or steel cage pallet systems.
The most commonly used routes for natural stone exports from Sapanca are sea freight via the ports of Mersin and İzmit. For smaller-volume sample shipments, air cargo via Istanbul Atatürk or Sabiha Gökçen airport is also available. Sipahi Mermer works closely with a customs broker to prepare the full set of export documents, including CE certification, certificate of origin, and fumigation requirements. Sapanca's TEM connection provides a significant time and cost advantage in reaching the ports.
For international buyers, our export process in Sapanca begins with a sample request; a free sample kit is shipped out. Once the sample is approved, we agree on technical specifications, lot quantity, and delivery terms, and issue a proforma invoice. Once payment security (L/C or TT advance) is confirmed, factory production and preparation begin. Shipment goes from our Sapanca warehouse to the port or customs, with tracking information sent to the buyer in real time.
Prices for natural stone exports based in Sapanca vary with stone type, processing level (raw block/semi-finished/fully finished), lot quantity, and destination port. We offer tiered pricing advantages for high-volume orders; delivery time is calculated based on Sapanca stock levels and active quarry capacity. We prepare competitive quotes on an FOB İzmit or FOB Mersin basis — contact us for minimum order quantity and sample terms.
Sipahi Mermer provides an international quality standards compliance certificate and lot-based quality reports for all products under export. Before shipment, every lot undergoes color homogeneity, dimensional tolerance, and surface defect testing at our factory, with test reports sent to the buyer. Technical support and an application guide are provided for project installations in the buyer's country. In the event of damage or a quality dispute, lot-based insurance protects the buyer.
