Construction ceramics logistics

Directly from the manufacturer to the construction site

Construction ceramics such as tiles and slabs have special transport and logistics requirements: high risk of breakage, weight and tight time schedules on construction sites. This is precisely where our specialized construction ceramics logistics comes in – as part of our comprehensive building material logistics.

We organize the entire process – from collection in the most important European production regions or from overseas, through customs clearance to punctual delivery in Switzerland. With optimized direct transport, reduced transshipment and direct delivery to the construction site, we ensure stable processes and reliable supply for your construction projects.

The benefits for you

  • Multiple departures each week from the most important ceramic regions in Europe for maximum flexibility
  • Direct transport routes with minimal transshipment reduce the risk of breakage and time losses
  • Delivery directly to the construction site – including crane or lift gate truck
  • Integrated customs clearance in the export and import countries with no additional coordination effort
  • Picking and distribution in Switzerland for needs-based supply
  • Complete service along the entire transport chain reduces costs and internal workload

Here’s how it works

  • Planning and coordination

    Together, we define the origin, quantities, delivery dates and requirements, such as construction site delivery or temporary storage.

  • Collection from manufacturers

    Your building ceramics are collected directly from manufacturers or merchants in Europe or abroad.

  • Transport from the production regions

    Transport is carried out as direct delivery or consolidated cargo – with specially equipped vehicles for sensitive ceramics.

  • Integrated customs clearance

    We take care of all export and import formalities to avoid delays.

  • Optional storage and picking

    If required, your goods will be stored temporarily in Switzerland, picked and prepared for delivery.

  • Distribution and construction site delivery

    Punctual delivery to merchants or directly to the construction site – including unloading with special vehicles.
