Your sourcing office in Turkey — without opening one.
We find, vet and manage Turkish suppliers for you. We speak to factories in Turkish, book independent quality checks, and take no commission from factories — we work only for you.
Why Turkey, why now
In several product categories, goods made in Turkey now carry much lower extra US import duty than the same goods from some other major supplier countries. Turkey also ships to the US East Coast in roughly half the time of Asia, accepts smaller orders, and is known for quality in rugs, natural stone and furniture.
- Up to about 25 percentage points less extra US duty than some other major origins
- Shorter shipping times to the US East Coast
- Factories open to smaller first orders
- Strong, established export industries
What we do for you
Everything a local sourcing office would do — from first search to repeat orders.
Find the right factories
We search Turkish-language directories, trade bodies and industrial zones — where most good factories are listed — not just English marketplaces.
Vet them properly
Company records, export history, certificates and references — before you spend time or money on samples.
Quotes in Turkish
We brief factories in their own language and get comparable quotes, so nothing is lost in translation.
Samples, chased
We follow up until samples ship, and track every step so you always know where things stand.
Landed cost, not just price
Factory price plus freight, insurance and US duty for your exact product code — so you compare real costs.
Independent quality checks
We book recognised third-party inspection firms before shipment. You see their report, not ours.
Where we focus
We start narrow, in categories where Turkey is strong and offers a clear duty advantage.
Rugs & carpets
Machine-woven, tufted and hand-made. Turkey is already one of the largest rug suppliers to the US.
Natural stone
Marble, travertine and limestone — slabs, tiles and cut-to-size — from Turkey's major quarry regions.
Furniture
Upholstered seating, tables and case goods from Turkey's established furniture clusters.
How it works
Simple, and you stay in control of every purchase.
Tell us what you buy
Product, specs, target price and volumes. A short email is enough to start.
Get a shortlist
We come back with vetted Turkish factories and their quotes, plus landed cost.
Samples & checks
We manage samples and book independent inspection.
Order direct
You contract and pay the factory directly. We keep managing the supplier for you.
We work only for you
Many sourcing agents are paid by factories. That means their advice is never fully yours. We do it differently.
- No commissions or kickbacks from factories
- You pay suppliers directly — we never handle your money for goods
- Independent inspectors, chosen per job
- Clear, fixed fees agreed upfront
