Türkiye combines established autoclaved fibre cement manufacturing capacity with short road, Ro-Ro, and container transit corridors into European, UK, Balkan, and Mediterranean markets. SerFibro structures export quotations around payload weight efficiency, damage-preventive palletising, and clean customs documentation.
Buyers working with their own Turkish freight forwarders often prefer EXW (designated warehouse) or FCA/FOB (Istanbul, Kocaeli/Gebze, Gemlik, Izmir, or Mersin ports). Buyers preferring coordinated freight receive CFR/CIF port quotations for sea containers or CPT/DAP terminal/warehouse proposals for European road transport.
For Central, Eastern, and Western Europe, curtain-sider road trailers allow rapid side-forklift unloading of 2500 mm and 3000 mm pallets directly at distributor yards. For sea freight (UK, Atlantic Europe, North/West Africa, Americas), 20ft containers are preferred over 40ft units because dense mineral pallets hit maximum gross weight limits in a compact footprint. Pallet dimensions and forklift entry orientation must be matched to container door width before loading.
Combining compatible thicknesses or textures (for example 8 mm and 10 mm smooth boards alongside woodgrain planks) within one full truck or container is regularly evaluated when sourced from the same dispatch point and stacked on matching pallet footprints. Lead-time windows are confirmed per order depending on whether boards are uncoated, embossed, or custom-coated.
For EU Customs Union destinations, eligible shipments travel with an A.TR movement certificate alongside Commercial Invoice, Packing List, and CMR/B/L; non-EU EFTA/bilateral destinations are checked for EUR.1 or Certificate of Origin requirements. Upon request, pallet strapping and container lashing photos are shared at dispatch.

Flat, calm architectural mineral boards supplied raw, factory-primed or coated for ventilated facades, light-steel assemblies and interior linings.
Full-format mineral boards embossed with directional walnut or cedar timber grain for ventilated facades, modular housing and commercial elevations.
Architectural coloured panels clearly differentiated between Factory-Coated opaque/semi-transparent finishes and Through-Coloured pigmented mineral cores.
Depending on transport mode (road curtain-sider truck, intermodal trailer, or 20ft sea container) and destination country, quotations can be prepared on EXW, FCA, FOB (Turkish port), CFR/CIF, or CPT/DAP basis. Exact Incoterm and named place are stated clearly on every quotation.
Payload weight is almost always the governing limit. Because mineral fibre cement boards are dense, both road trucks and 20ft containers reach maximum legal gross payload well before their cubic volume is full. Accurate thickness and sheet count are therefore essential to calculate freight cost per m².
Standard export documentation prepared according to destination country and transport mode includes Commercial Invoice, Packing List (with net/gross weights and pallet counts), CMR or Bill of Lading (B/L), Turkish Export Customs Declaration, and A.TR or Certificate of Origin / EUR.1 where applicable.
Boards are stacked horizontally on flat rigid wooden pallets (ISPM 15 heat-treated timber for export where required), fitted with protective edge/corner guards, interleaved where coated surfaces require separation, wrapped in moisture-resistant hood/film, and secured with tension strapping.
Minimum order volume depends on whether you select an uncoated standard sheet format (such as 1250 × 2500 mm), a patterned relief mould, or a custom factory-coated colour batch. Export shipments are typically structured around full pallets, full road trucks, or 20ft containers to ensure safe transport economics.
Cevizli Mah. Orhan Gazi Cad. No: 24/B Maltepe / Istanbul is our Commercial & Engineering Head Office for meetings, sample inspection, and contract coordination. Actual pallet loading warehouse or Turkish export port (Istanbul, Kocaeli, Gemlik, Izmir, or Mersin) is confirmed according to the selected product line and Incoterm.
