The experts for Turkish mining materials!

With 10 years of experience in the industrial minerals sector, we have become one of the best experts in Turkish-European mining consultancy companies.

COMPANY PROFILE

We are a trading and mining service agency based in Hamburg, Germany.
The focus of our work is the distribution of industrial minerals and the professional advice,
service and support during the procurement and delivery of mainly rock-forming industrialminerals from Turkey. In other words, activities that can be summarised under the term "interface management".

We have been familiar with the Turkish industrial environment for decades, speak the local language andcan therefore, with the help of our long-standing partners, provide your company with the best possible support in the perspective planning of raw material procurement.

IS THE PROCUREMENT OF RAW MATERIALS FROM TURKIYE WORTHWILE AT ALL?

Now more than ever, we believe.

The bottom line is that future raw material sourcing and supplier evaluation will need to include environmental considerations alongside price, product quality and delivery performance. In addition, companies will have no choice but to make their supply chains more secure and predictable, including through diversity, in order to better cope with future crises.

Our approach to mitigating these challenges is to offer our customers in Europe an alternative source of Turkish industrial minerals to those from overseas. Turkey has long been considered a hotspot for industrial minerals and is becoming an increasingly important supplier of raw materials.
In addition to its geographical proximity to Europe, which ultimately means fast response and delivery times and, of course, lower logistics costs, the country's competitive and highly diversified mining industry, with around 5,000 production sites, is another plus.

BUSINESS PRACTICE

In our experience, business relationships in Turkiye should be long term. Short-term supplier contracts and occasional purchases are usually not worthwhile and often fail, especially when there are many trades along the supply chain and good coordination of the individual process sections is a prerequisite for successful and lasting business.
The usual factors such as:

- Delivery terms (current Incoterms),
- terms of payment,
- Conclusion under the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods,
- current INCOTERM
should be taken into account.

The involvement of internationally active goods testing and certification companies can sometimes be helpful in the business process.
We therefore recommend that purchasers of raw materials who have little or no experience of dealing with Turkish partners should seek the services of an experienced agency to proactively and effectively mitigate, or even prevent, any difficulties that may arise in the business process.

GLOBAL RAW MATERIAL SERVICES

For buyers of raw materials who have little or no experience in dealing with Turkish partners, it is advisable to involve an experienced agency in order to proactively and effectively mitigate or even avoid potential difficulties in the trading process.

LOGISTIC SERVICES & MORE
Procurement optimisation is one of the key building blocks in our customers' day-to-day business. It helps to reduce costs, lower overall business risk, ensure competitiveness and generate sustainable growth. It's a truism, but it's true: a product's supply chain has to pay for itself all the way to the end to have a happy ending, so it's important to keep transport, storage and distribution costs as low as possible.

When it comes to overcoming the challenges of finding the right raw material sourcing strategy, companies benefit from expert support.
This is all the more true as transport prices have risen sharply in recent years.
In the case of industrial minerals and ores, i.e. bulk commodities,
containers and/or bulk carriers are the most common means of transport. Of course, we can also organise transport by rail or truck. Just as you wish.
