Why Türkiye

A broad manufacturing base in a strategic location

Türkiye has a wide and flexible manufacturing base, from textiles and building materials to furniture and food. Factories that handle both small runs and large orders, suppliers open to custom production and a long export tradition make it a natural sourcing destination.

Istanbul sits between Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia and Africa, giving you flexible sea, land and air routes into very different markets.

The hard part is finding the right factory, verifying it, getting price and quality right and moving the goods reliably. Trend Link manages that entire chain on your behalf.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What buyers and manufacturers ask us most about sourcing and exporting from Türkiye.

Are there minimum order quantities?

Minimum order quantities depend on the product and the factory. Some manufacturers work with small batches, while others will not go below a certain production run. Once we have your brief, we look for manufacturers that suit your volumes.

Do you act as an agent or as a trader?

It depends on the engagement. On some projects we act as your sourcing agent for a service fee; on others we buy the goods and sell them to you. The model is agreed in writing before any work starts.

How do you verify suppliers?

We check company records and relevant documents and, wherever possible, visit the factory to assess its capacity, equipment and quality processes. Samples and reference checks complete the picture.

How do you inspect quality?

We inspect during production and before shipment against the approved sample and specifications. Dimensions, workmanship, packaging, labelling and quantities are checked, and you receive a report with photos. Any issues are resolved with the manufacturer before the goods leave.

What shipping options and Incoterms do you offer?

We ship by sea, road and air, as full or shared loads. Under EXW you collect from the factory; under FOB the seller is responsible until the goods are loaded at the port of shipment; CIF covers freight and insurance to the destination port; under DAP the goods are delivered to an agreed address. We help you choose the terms that suit you.

How long does shipping take?

Transit times depend on the mode, destination, route and customs formalities. Air is the fastest, road is practical for nearby markets and sea is the most economical for large volumes. We share the carrier's current estimate for every shipment.

Can manufacturers use you to find buyers abroad?

Yes. We assess your products and capacity, research suitable buyers and distributors in target markets, prepare your sales materials and arrange meetings. We also support you through the export process from the first order onwards.
