Sourcing from Turkey: Manufacturers, Suppliers and Production

Türkiye is Europe's closest large manufacturing base outside the EU, with a customs union that lets most industrial goods enter the EU without duties. Buyers come for textiles and apparel, furniture, home textiles, automotive parts, machinery, food and building materials, and for shorter lead times and smaller minimum orders than Asian suppliers usually offer.

These guides cover the practical side of buying from Turkish factories: how to find and vet suppliers, when to choose OEM or ODM production, how private label works, how to use trade fairs and how to appoint a distributor.
