With specialist DG Class 1 expertise and growing aerospace sector engagement, ISS GF Spain is strengthening its position in a highly regulated and technically demanding area of global logistics.
Some logistics sectors leave no room for improvisation. Aerospace, defense, and explosive cargo require experience, control, and a deep understanding of regulations at every step of shipment.
This is where ISS GF in Spain has built a strong and highly specialized position. ISS GF is among the leading forwarders in the country for Dangerous Goods Class 1 shipments, handling complex cargo such as sporting ammunition, metallic cartridge ammunition, fireworks, detonators, explosives for blasting and mining, military explosives, defense equipment, military vehicles, and bulletproof or explosive-proof safety glass.
This expertise has also created a valuable routing advantage. For Italian fireworks exporters facing restrictions on direct DG Class 1 exports, our team provides an alternative route through Spain, with onward shipments to the United States by air or ocean. Compared with traditional North European gateways such as Antwerp or Hamburg, this solution can offer customers shorter transit times and more competitive end-to-end costs.
Beyond DG Class 1, ISS GF is also an approved logistics supplier for major aerospace and defense manufacturers in Spain. The team has successfully managed high-value shipments for major brands, combining technical knowledge with careful planning, strong supplier coordination, and reliable execution.
Spain is also investing continuously in this segment by staying close to the industries it serves.


Mr. Alberto Esteban, Regional CEO Europe and Spain Country Manager, recently represented ISS GF at the MIExpert Conference in Athens, a specialist network focused on defense, DG Class 1 and aerospace logistics.
Mr. Esteban also joined Mr. Daniel Jordán, Explosives, IMO 1 and Defense Specialist – Spain, at IWA in Nuremberg to meet customers in the sporting cartridges and civil weapons sector. In Madrid, Mr. Jordán continued this market engagement at a leading hunting industry fair.
Through this combination of technical expertise, customer proximity, and sector focus, ISS GF in Spain is strengthening its role as a specialist hub for aerospace, defense, and DG Class 1 logistics within the global network.
