Sipahi Mermer supplies block, slab and project-specific cut-to-size marble, granite, travertine and onyx through a long-standing direct relationship network with 50+ quarries across Turkey. With FCA/CIF/DAP Incoterm options, secure payment via L/C and a fully registered corporate structure, we offer global B2B buyers a direct producer price.

50+ Quarry Network — Turkey's Natural Stone Map

For over since 1989, Sipahi Mermer has worked directly with Turkey's principal natural stone production regions. From the white marble quarries of Marmara Island to Denizli's travertine deposits, from Afyon's sugar white to Muğla's classic white, from Bilecik's beige tones to Burdur's cream, and from Bergama's black granite to Isparta's onyx, we maintain direct relationships with 50+ quarries. This network means direct price and supply from the quarry, with no intermediary layer.

Marmara Island

White marble — a classic Turkish marble with a bright, homogeneous texture, preferred for interior/exterior facade and flooring applications.

Denizli

Travertine — with warm beige-cream tones and a natural porous texture, widely used in hotel lobbies, facades and outdoor flooring projects.

Afyon

Sugar white marble — known for its high whiteness and fine-grained structure, preferred for premium interiors and bathroom projects.

Muğla

White marble — a white marble with fine grey veining, offered as an alternative to Carrara; sees strong demand for facade cladding and flooring.

Bilecik

Beige marble — with a homogeneous cream-beige tone and high polishability, used for flooring and staircase treads.

Burdur

Cream marble — its warm, soft tonal transitions provide textural consistency across large surface cladding.

Bergama

Black granite — dense, dark-toned granite with high wear resistance, preferred for countertops, flooring and exterior facade applications.

Isparta

Onyx — notable for its semi-translucent structure and suitability for backlit applications, a favourite in luxury interior projects.

quarry since 1989 relationships mean a direct, intermediary-free price: unlike classic suppliers limited to 5-10 standard stone types, Sipahi provides access to 50+ stone varieties through a single point of coordination.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the minimum order quantity?
The standard minimum order is 1 container (20ft, approximately 28 tonnes). An LCL (less-than-container-load) option can be considered for smaller-volume requests; in that case, unit price and delivery time are quoted separately.
Are your products CE certified?
CE marking is not mandatory for exports from Turkey; however, for orders destined for the European market, production and certification compliant with EN 12057 (marble/slab) and EN 12058 (flooring stone) standards can be provided on request. The standard requirement should be stated at the quotation stage.
Do you hold TSE or ISO 9001 certification?
Our quality processes run on systematic control points from production through to shipment. Specific certification requests such as TSE or ISO 9001 are assessed on a project basis; for high-volume export orders, certification is coordinated with accredited bodies.
Are samples free of charge?
Small standard samples (100×100mm) are sent free of charge. Shipping/freight costs for the sample may be borne by the buyer; larger sample panels are priced separately.
Which ports do you ship from?
We make regular container shipments from the ports of Ambarlı, Haydarpaşa, İzmit and Gemlik. The most suitable departure port is determined based on the buyer's destination port and preferred route.
How does payment work?
L/C (letter of credit) is preferred for a new customer's first order. Established and repeat customers typically work on a TT (bank transfer) basis of 30% deposit plus 70% balance before/after shipment.
Is colour and texture consistency guaranteed?
Because marble and granite are natural stone, batch-to-batch natural variation in colour and texture can occur. Consistency is kept as high as possible by sourcing from the same quarry/batch and matching against an approved sample; single-batch sourcing is recommended for large projects.
How long does the order process take?
Production time varies by product type: 2-3 weeks for block orders, 3-4 weeks for standard slab orders and 4-6 weeks for project-specific cut-to-size orders. Sea freight transit time (5-15 days depending on route) is added on top of this.
