Davies Turner restructures Turkish logistics operations

COLESHILL (UK): Davies Turner has been reached an agreement with Talay Logistics to handle daily two-way trailer services between Türkiye and the UK.

An additional partnership has been signed, which will see the Istanbul-based subsidiary of Gebrüder Weiss, one of Davies Turner’s longest-standing partners, manage point of origin warehousing, quality control and compliance operations in Istanbul for clients sourcing from Türkiye.

Expressing his satisfaction with the two new partnerships, Davies Turner director, Alan Williams, said:

“For many years, we had worked in partnership with the EKOL Group to develop and establish our leading presence in this trade lane.

“A change in ownership for EKOL’s international transport operations required us to develop new partnerships that would enable us undertake a seamless transition of the award-winning logistics operations that we deliver on this route.

“Through our partnership with Talay Logistics we are standardising door-to-door trailer services and supporting them with our Purchase Order Management system, which enables product tracking by PO number, SKU, or unit level, adding significant value.

“Our in-country partnership with Gebrüder Weiss Türkiye adds the stability that will allow us to continue to deliver value-added services for clients that are sourcing products from Türkiye.

“These include offshore end-to-end logistics operations, accepted quality levels (AQL) and quality checks (QC) on stock, as well as pick and pack operations, on location in Turkey.

“This  point of origin warehousing and logistics operation helps differentiate our service from many of our competitors ,” Williams adds.

Through the collaboration with Talay Logistics, Davies Turner is delivering daily groupage and full load trailer services between the two countries, typically moving around 70-110 trailers a week between the two countries, along with sea freight containers.
