Cross-border supply chains
Arvato further expands customs logistics in Turkey
With a new type A customs warehouse in Istanbul-Tuzla and additional capacity, Arvato is strengthening its cross-border logistics expertise and positioning Turkey as a strategic hub between Europe and Asia.
Arvato is expanding its customs and logistics services in Turkey in response to the country's growing importance in the international movement of goods between Europe and Asia. With the opening of its first general Type A customs warehouse in Istanbul's Tuzla district and the expansion of a nationwide network of customs and non-customs warehouse partners, the company is strengthening its role as an end-to-end logistics partner for cross-border supply chains.
The new customs warehouse has 5,000 square meters of covered space and is designed to ensure faster customs clearance, shorter throughput times and greater transparency and security in international logistics processes. Arvato also offers integrated customs and non-customs warehouse solutions, customs services, transport coordination and value-added services such as labeling, packaging and quality control.
At the same time, the expansion of more than 90,000 square meters of additional customs and non-customs capacity creates flexible and resilient structures that allow customers to respond to fluctuating cross-border volumes. The sectors served include fashion, technology, healthcare and automotive.
"Customs logistics is a key enabler for cross-border growth," says Umur Özkal, Managing Director at Arvato in Turkey & the United Arab Emirates. "With this investment, we are specifically positioning Turkey as a strategic hub within our global network. We are supporting our customers' international trade strategies with more speed, control and resilience - especially at a time when cross-border supply chains are becoming increasingly complex and dynamic."
The Turkish market remains a key growth driver for Arvato. With over 3,000 local employees, new jobs and a strong focus on cross-border trade, the company is consolidating its operational presence and market position in the region.
