Export management and market entry for Turkish manufacturers: we find overseas buyers, build your export offer and run the first deals so your product reaches markets you cannot open alone.
Export management and market entry is a done-for-you export service for Turkish producers. We act as your outsourced export department: we identify the right overseas markets, turn your product into a credible export proposition, find and approach real buyers, and stay with each deal until the first order ships. It is built for manufacturers who make something well but lack the time, the foreign-market contacts or the export experience to sell it abroad alone.
What export management and market entry covers
The service spans the whole journey from a strong domestic product to a repeat export account:
- Target-market research and realistic demand sizing
- Export pricing and Incoterms 2020 strategy so your quote wins on landed cost, not just unit price
- Buyer identification and direct outreach to importers, distributors and retail buyers
- Export offer, specification sheets, sample coordination and a sales deck buyers expect
- Negotiation support and first-order handholding, then repeat-account management
How the process works
We run market entry as a clear sequence, not a vague promise:
- Product and pricing audit. We benchmark what your product should sell for against what importers in each market actually pay.
- Market selection. We size demand and shortlist the two or three markets where your product has the strongest, fastest route in.
- Export offer. We build the documentation, specifications and samples a serious buyer asks for before they reply.
- Buyer outreach. We approach and qualify real buyers and represent you in the first conversations so nothing is lost in translation.
- First order and beyond. We support the negotiation, coordinate the first shipment and then help turn a one-off buyer into a standing account.
Which markets we open
We move Turkish goods across Europe, the Gulf, Africa, Asia-Pacific and the Americas, with a dedicated Indian Ocean corridor through Port Louis for the harder African lanes. See the full picture on our global markets page, and read how the hub model reaches difficult destinations in reaching African markets through Indian Ocean trade hubs.
Export readiness: pricing, Incoterms and documents
Most Turkish products are export-ready long before their paperwork is. We prepare the proforma invoice, agree the right Incoterm (commonly FOB or EXW at this stage), and line up the preferential-origin documents such as the A.TR movement certificate for EU shipments and EUR.1 where a free-trade agreement applies. The compliance detail is handled alongside by our trade compliance and documentation team, so your first export clears customs cleanly.
Export management by sector
Our buyer networks run deepest in the sectors where Turkey competes hardest: textiles and apparel, food and agriculture, machinery and industrial goods, construction materials and plastics and glass. We match your product to the buyers already asking for it.
How we charge
For exporters we offer a success-based option tied to orders we actually open, alongside a transparent retainer for sustained programmes. You always know what you are paying and why, with no hidden markup on your goods. The full approach is set out on our about page.
Frequently asked questions
How is this different from going to a trade fair?
A fair generates contacts; this service converts them. Many clients come to us after a fair that led nowhere, because the follow-through, qualification and first-order support were missing. That follow-through is the whole point.
Do I need export experience to start?
No. The service is designed for capable manufacturers who are new to exporting. We supply the market knowledge, documentation and buyer relationships you do not yet have.
How long until the first export order?
It varies by product and market, but a focused campaign into a well-matched market typically produces qualified buyer conversations within weeks, not months. We prioritise the fastest credible route first.
If you make something in Turkey and want it selling overseas, tell us about your product and we will map the markets worth opening first. You can also explore our wider trade services to see how market entry connects to sourcing, logistics and finance.
