Finding the right suppliers or manufacturers in Turkey requires an effective sourcing strategy.
This includes conducting a targeted search for suppliers and manufacturers, managing partnerships, maintaining supplier relationships, and complying with quality and legal standards. Regular supplier and quality control are also necessary to ensure security and trust in the supply chain.
With this in mind, Turnkey Sourcing has developed a sophisticated sourcing strategy that is based upon our decades of experience to support you in your sourcing needs. We do not just develop a sourcing strategy that suits you, but also optimize your ongoing sourcing process, integrate it within the Turkish market, and implement it into your company.
Please first contact us with a detailed description of your requirements regarding the product, the quantity, the quality, and other essential features of the products that you are interested in. The initial meeting is free of charge for you.
We categorize your product based upon its relevant global trade item number (GTIN) to acquire more detailed information on any applicable import and export regulations in Turkey or in the European Union. We then search for suitable suppliers in our database who produce or can produce your product.
After finding matching suppliers or manufacturers, we conduct further conversations to initiate the next steps. The critical factor here is that the work order is defined clearly and precisely, so that the next steps are successful and achieve the right results.
Finding and contacting suppliers and manufacturers in Turkey is new for many international companies. For this reason, this raises particular concerns and the issue of determining the appropriate approach to find the most qualified and suitable supplier in order to achieve the best possible results.
There is no doubt: That the Turkish market offers attractive opportunities and provides an advantage in terms of competition. To fully capitalize on these opportunities, it is necessary to have specific knowledge and experience sourcing in the country. With this prior experience, deep expertise, and locally oriented guidance, it is easy to carry out effective sourcing.
Considering price alone without considering other factors when it comes to potential suppliers is a huge mistake. Beyond quality standards, information on relevant companies, their general performance, their loyalty to agreements, and their adherence to order quantities are all also crucial. Neglecting such essential factors can have costly consequences. In such a scenario, the possible cost advantage of low prices becomes meaningless.
Many people believe that it is sufficient for the departments in a company to manage global sourcing transactions without the use of additional resources. However, this is a significant mistake. Finding and contacting potential, suitable, and qualified suppliers in Turkey and establishing connections with them are time-consuming and costly processes that require meticulousness, sensitivity, and professionalism.
With this in mind, Turnkey Sourcing would like to offer you a trustworthy and secure sourcing of your products from Turkey.
This step concerns qualified supplier research. Many companies fall for the notion of finding potential suppliers through industry and trade chambers. In addition, contacting specific associations in the relevant countries or visiting trade fairs may also be considered. Using this method means that companies cannot ultimately achieve the desired cost minimizations to the desired extent. An important key point here is to approach suppliers that are interested in a possible cooperation over the longer term. Moreover, it is typical for such suppliers to be more comfortable conversing in Turkish, as many often do not speak English.
These are just a few of the many difficulties that must be faced when looking for suppliers in the Turkish sourcing market. It is evident that this requires years of experience as well as cultural and linguistic knowledge; it also requires an extensive supplier network and reliable contacts in Turkey. In order not to run into any risks here, it is necessary to consult with experts.
We at Turnkey Sourcing:
The products must be produced in compliance with your quality standards to avoid potential risks and to ensure that you obtain high-quality products. In this vein, the quality control process should also be integrated into the sourcing strategy, particularly in supplier determination and management.
Quality control can take place at different stages:
At this level, suppliers are visited to check whether they can produce the desired product with the specified features.
After the on-site visit, your first product sample will be examined. This check is crucial to identify defects early on in the process. In the event of quality defects, it is possible to incorporate the necessary changes. Your products will only be put into production upon your approval.
Quality controls are also carried out via continuous monitoring and documentation of the production process, as well as the photographic documentation and video inspection of the product.
At this stage, finished products are checked before they are prepared for shipment. It should be ensured that your specific requirements have been met.
In addition, we also check how your products are loaded. The best, most professional, and safest loading should be carried out to ensure that your order reaches you without any delays.
Turnkey Sourcing enables the quality control service to be more extensive or less extensive, depending upon your needs and preferences. This helps us ensure that you receive your products according to your desired requirements.
Sending a product sample is another essential measure that minimizes risk. After the best supplier or manufacturer for you has produced the first sample, we will send it to you as soon as possible. This allows you to examine and inspect the product before your make any final agreement. The order is only placed after you are entirely satisfied with the product.
Professional supplier management is another critical factor in maintaining a company's competitiveness. Companies can increase their success rates in cost minimization and quality assurance only by collaborating with qualified and reliable suppliers. In this way, a stable and continuous sourcing strategy can be established. Integrating supplier management into the sourcing strategy is therefore essential to professionally and effectively managing cooperation with suppliers.

A strong agreement is an essential protection for your company if unwanted problems arise during the procurement process.
