Radhe Enterprise is a trusted bentonite supplier for European buyers, exporting premium bentonite granules, bentonite powder, dolomite, edible roasted clay, and bentonite cat litter from our manufacturing facility in Bhavnagar, Gujarat, India. We serve industrial, agricultural, and pet-care buyers across Germany, Netherlands, Italy, France, Spain, Poland, and the UK with competitive FOB/CIF pricing via Rotterdam, Hamburg, and Felixstowe ports.
European buyers source Indian minerals for organic farming (EU organic regulations favor natural clay soil amendments), automotive foundries (precision casting supply chains), construction (waterproofing and tunneling for infrastructure projects), and private-label cat litter for major retail chains. REACH compliance and comprehensive documentation are essential for EU market access, and Radhe Enterprise provides batch traceability and quality records aligned to European standards.
Whether you need bentonite granules for organic agriculture, bentonite powder for foundry and drilling, dolomite for glass and ceramics, edible roasted clay for wellness and specialty food channels, or private-label cat litter for retail distribution — Radhe Enterprise delivers export-grade quality with documentation aligned to EU import requirements.
Why Source Bentonite from India for Europe?
India is the world's second-largest bentonite producer, and Gujarat accounts for over 60% of India's bentonite output. Sourcing from a direct Indian manufacturer like Radhe Enterprise gives European buyers access to premium bentonite, dolomite, and clay products at significantly lower costs than domestic alternatives or re-exports from trading hubs. Our Bhavnagar factory location provides cost-effective port access for ocean freight optimization.
Indian bentonite — particularly from the Bhavnagar-Kutch belt — is prized for its high montmorillonite content, excellent swelling properties, and versatility across agriculture, industrial, and pet care applications. For European importers, buying directly from Radhe Enterprise eliminates intermediary margins and ensures specification control from mine to container.

Complete Product Range We Export to Europe
Bentonite Granules (Red Ball, Black Ball, Brown Granules): Agriculture and fertilizer-grade granules for soil conditioning, NPK binding, foundry sand bonding, and industrial use. Mesh sizes 8–30, moisture-controlled packing. See our Bentonite Granules Manufacturer India pillar for complete specifications.
Bentonite Powder (Calcium grades): 200–300 mesh powder for drilling mud, foundry green sand, ceramics, paints, and agriculture. Industrial and export quality with batch traceability. See our Bentonite Powder Manufacturer India pillar for grade details.
Dolomite Granules & Powder: CaMg carbonate for soil pH correction, calcium-magnesium supplementation, glass manufacturing, ceramics, and construction. Full white and standard grades.
Edible Roasted Clay (Nakumatt & Butter Grey): Traditional Indian khadi mitti — food-safe kiln-roasted bentonite clay for eating, medical toxin binding (natural enterosorbent), fish pond sealing, aquaculture feed supplementation, and industrial absorbent applications. NOT for cat litter. See our Roasted Clay Manufacturer India pillar for complete product information.
Bentonite Cat Litter: Clumping scented cat litter in Lavender, Lemon, Apple & Triple Freshness. Private label and retail packing available. Made from premium bentonite — a completely separate product from edible roasted clay. See our Cat Litter Manufacturer India pillar for private label and export programs.
EU Organic Farming & Agricultural Applications
European organic farming regulations (EU 2018/848) encourage natural soil amendments, and bentonite is widely used as an approved soil conditioner in organic agriculture across Germany, France, Italy, and Spain. German organic farmers — operating Europe's largest organic sector — use Indian bentonite granules for soil water retention in sandy regions (Brandenburg, Saxony-Anhalt) and for improving nutrient-holding capacity in vineyards along the Rhine and Moselle valleys.
For Italian, French, and Spanish agriculture, Indian calcium bentonite provides cost-effective soil conditioning for olive groves, vineyards, and horticulture. At a landed cost of approximately 100–150 EUR/MT (versus 200–300 EUR/MT for European bentonite), Indian granules are particularly attractive for large-scale organic farming operations where input cost directly affects organic product pricing at retail.
Foundry & Automotive Supply Chain
European automotive foundries — supplying BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, and their tier-1 suppliers — require consistent green sand binder performance for precision castings. Our Black Ball bentonite, with 15–25 ml/2g swell index, has been tested in European foundry sand systems and meets the wet tensile strength requirements for cylinder head, engine block, and brake component castings.
For EU foundries, the key economic driver is landed cost per tonne versus domestic or Turkish bentonite. Indian calcium bentonite at CIF Rotterdam approximately 120–180 EUR/MT competes favorably with European bentonite at 200–350 EUR/MT while providing consistent quality with batch traceability documentation that automotive quality systems require.
Export Logistics & Documentation for Europe
All export shipments are containerized with moisture-barrier packing (laminated PP bags on pallets, shrink-wrapped). We offer FCL (Full Container Load) and LCL (Less than Container Load) options. Standard documentation includes: Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Certificate of Origin, Quality Test Reports (moisture, sieve, swell index), Bill of Lading, and Phytosanitary Certificate where applicable.
Pricing is available on FOB (Mundra/Kandla/Pipavav), CIF, and CFR basis. Ocean transit to Europe varies by destination port — contact us with your port of discharge for a precise landed-cost estimate. Payment terms: typically 50% advance / 50% against shipping documents.

What is the ocean transit time from India to European ports?
Ocean transit from Mundra Port to Rotterdam (Netherlands) is approximately 18–22 days, to Hamburg (Germany) 20–24 days, and to Felixstowe (UK) 20–25 days. Total door-to-door from our Bhavnagar factory to a European warehouse is approximately 30–40 days including production, container loading, ocean transit, and port clearance.
Do you provide REACH-compliant documentation?
Yes. All our industrial mineral products are registered or exempt under REACH regulations. We provide REACH-compliant safety data sheets (SDS), certificates of analysis, and origin documentation. For specific customer requirements, we can provide additional test reports aligned to EN or DIN standards. Note that bentonite (CAS 1302-78-9) and dolomite (CAS 12001-27-3) are naturally occurring substances with REACH exemptions for certain applications.
What packing options are available for European importers?
We offer big bags (1 MT / 1.5 MT jumbo bags) for bulk industrial buyers, 25 kg or 50 kg PP laminated bags with inner moisture barrier for distribution, and retail-ready packaging for private-label programs (custom-printed bags, branded packaging). Palletized loading on EUR-pallet dimensions is available for European warehouse compatibility. Container desiccants are standard for all European shipments.
What is the MOQ for orders from European buyers?
Minimum order is 1 x 20 ft container (20–25 MT) for FCL. For LCL shipments, minimum is 5 MT. Trial orders of 1–5 MT can be arranged for first-time buyers. We recommend starting with a trial container to validate product performance and logistics before committing to regular monthly shipments.
