On September 23, 2024, Gruber Logistics announced the enhancement of its services in Turkey, further solidifying its commitment to a rapidly growing and strategically important market. The first phase began in 2023 with the start of Turkish operations, and now the second phase involves the restructuring of the branch, which serves as a key transport link between Asia and Europe. The company stated that this initial phase was crucial for understanding market dynamics. During this period, Gruber Logistics conducted in-depth research to assess local demand, competition, and the regulatory environment, all critical factors for successfully entering a constantly evolving economic landscape.
Gruber Logistics has established a local team operating from two offices in Istanbul and Izmir. These offices serve as strategic hubs for expanding the services offered and form the foundation of a project aimed at covering the entire Turkish supply chain while strengthening connections with the rest of Europe. The conclusion of this initial phase marks the expansion of Gruber Logistics' activities in Turkey, with a broader and more structured service offering to meet the growing demands of the market.
The restructuring places Rifat Cicek at the helm of the Turkish branch, tasked with further developing the local market and strengthening the Gruber Logistics team in the country. As part of its expansion strategy in Turkey, Gruber Logistics has identified Trieste as a key hub for international connections. From this port city, the company coordinates an extensive transport network on a continental scale.
