Logistics & Supply Security

From our plant in Konya to your port — how KONREF ships, what documentation we provide, and what supply security from an integrated producer means in practice.

Direct from factory to port — with everything your import documentation requires.

KONREF ships directly from our production site in Konya, Turkey, to the Port of Mersin — Türkiye's main Mediterranean container port — for international container shipments. We also ship via Istanbul Haydarpaşa and other Turkish ports for specific destinations.

Our export team manages all freight documentation in-house: certificate of origin, packing list, commercial invoice, bill of lading, chemical and physical analysis certificates, and any country-specific documentation (EUR.1, ATR, etc.). There is no intermediary between our factory and your purchase order.

Packing formats

Standard bricks: wooden pallets, shrink-wrapped, with per-pallet net weight matched to container capacity. Bulk bags available for monolithics and raw magnesia. Custom packing on request for specific destination or port requirements.

FCL & LCL

Full Container Load (20-foot and 40-foot) is our standard. Less-than-Container Load available for smaller orders via freight forwarding consolidation. Dry van containers only — no hazardous goods classification for standard refractory products.

Incoterms

Standard terms: FOB Mersin (or other Turkish port). CFR and CIF available for most destinations. EXW available for collection from Konya. DDP available for select EU destinations — contact us for confirmation.

Lead times

Standard grades: 4–8 weeks from order confirmation, subject to production scheduling. Custom grades: 8–14 weeks. Spot availability for select standard grades — contact us for current stock status.

Export documentation

Standard export pack: commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, bill of lading, chemical and physical analysis certificate. EUR.1, ATR (for EU destinations), and phytosanitary certificates on request.

Quality documentation

Chemical and physical analysis results for each production batch, issued with every shipment. ISO 9001 certificate copy available for vendor qualification. Country-of-origin declaration for CBAM and US import documentation.

What vertical integration means for your supply chain.

Supply security in refractories is not just about price — it is about knowing that the product will be there when the reline is scheduled, at the same specification as the last order. That requires control of the full chain. KONREF's integrated structure — from our own ore to the finished product — gives us that control.

  • No upstream dependency — we are not exposed to third-party magnesia traders or Chinese export restrictions.
  • Stable raw material quality — our own ore provides consistent MgO chemistry that third-party-sourced raw material cannot match.
  • Production capacity headroom — 150,000 t/yr brick and 80,000 t/yr monolithics capacity with room to accommodate growing accounts.
  • Single-source accountability — one supplier, one quality system, one contact. No finger-pointing between raw material supplier and manufacturer.
