Germany is our largest EU export market — automotive Tier-1 and Tier-2 suppliers, industrial packaging converters, sports equipment distributors and private label brands source EVA foam raw material and finished products directly from our Istanbul facility. Duty-free entry under the EU-Turkey Customs Union, 3-9 day road freight, full German-ready export documentation.
Germany's industrial base — automotive, packaging, sports equipment and general manufacturing — draws heavily on imported raw material and components, and Turkey's EU Customs Union membership makes Istanbul a cost- and time-competitive sourcing base compared to Asian suppliers.
EVA foam shipped with an A.TR movement certificate enters Germany without the import duties applied to non-Customs-Union origins.
3-9 days from Istanbul to German destinations by road — far shorter than the four-to-six week transit common on Asia-Europe lanes.
Turkey's decades of Tier-1/Tier-2 automotive supply experience align directly with Germany's automotive manufacturing base.
