From Cuba to your port

How marabu charcoal gets from Cuba to the container.

  1. Marabu bush

    The charcoal is made from the branches and stems of the marabu bush, which grows in Cuba.

  2. Made to order

    We process it at the request of the European market, in size and in burning time.

  3. Shipping

    Cuba has a direct exit to the sea, so the transit time is shorter than with quebracho.
