CH Robinson Europe has continued its expansion with the addition of a new office in Istanbul, Turkey, as it looks to tap into increasing demand for logistics services in the region.
The freight forwarder pointed to the fact that Turkey has one of the largest and fastest-growing economies in the world, and that the region, with over 40 universities in the area, presents access to 'a large and talented workforce'.
The Istanbul office will primarily offer international road freight services, including both full- and less-than-truckload transportation modes, and the team in Istanbul will look to expand that network by offering a wide range of freight options, quick payment, and automated communications.
“Returning to Turkey and opening CH Robinson’s first office in the country has been a dream of mine,” said Gokalp Ertugrul, leader of the Turkish operation. “By providing flexible and personalised logistics solutions, our customers and contract carriers benefit by having access to a team specialised in the Turkish market and located in the country.”
