Blocks

Granite blocks for Polish processors

Poland's processors saw imported granite blocks, most of them from India, South Africa and Zimbabwe today. Egyptian granite blocks — Aswan Red, Gandola, Grey Aswan, New Halayeb and Black Aswan — are squared, net-measured and sold by the cubic metre, typically 2.6 – 3.0 × 1.5 × 1.5 m and 18 – 30 tonnes, with photographs of every face and the dimensions of every block before you commit.

Tell us what you saw with and the sizes you work to, and we square for that.

Memorials

Granite for memorials

Black Aswan, Aswan Red, Gandola, New Halayeb and Grey Aswan go into memorial work as well as steps, sills, paving and facades: as blocks for your own workshop, as slabs, or cut to your sizes. The certificate of origin travels with every container.

Route

Alexandria to Gdańsk, direct

A direct service between Alexandria and Gdańsk has run since 2026, about two weeks at sea. Stone from India and China takes far longer to reach the Baltic, because most Asia–Europe sailings still go round the Cape of Good Hope. Gdańsk also serves buyers in Czechia and the Baltic states.

Interiors

Beige marble and limestone for interiors

Galala, Sunny Menia, Silvia Menia and Milly Gray are the Egyptian beiges and greys for floors, walls, bathrooms and stairs indoors: calibrated tiles at 2 cm in polished, honed or brushed finishes, or slabs for cutting locally. They belong indoors; for anything outside, choose granite.

04 — Questions

Buying from Egypt, into Poland

Can you supply steps?

Yes. Treads, risers, landings and skirting are cut from the same blocks as the floor tiles where quantities allow, and sills and other pieces to your list as cut-to-size.

What paperwork comes with the stone?

A certificate of origin, the commercial invoice, the packing list and the bill of lading. Tell us the standard your project is specified to; for the stone you select we arrange the laboratory tests at an accredited laboratory.

What is the smallest order?

One 20 ft container. Several stones can share it.

Quoting for Poland?

Send the stone, the finish, the thickness, the quantity and the destination port. You get FOB and CIF prices and a lead time, usually within one working day.
