WHY USE TURKISH CEMENT?
 
	
	 
 
  | 
	We are local and have a brand identity. 
We are a joint venture between cement trading and one of the largest cement manufacturing company in Turkey.
In 2015, with 4,000,000 MT capacity we will be the largest cement exporter in Europe.
 |  
	
	 
 
  | 
	Our prices are competitive and generally lower than the ones offered by other due to our own volume and also special quota allowanses.
 |  
	
	 
 
  | 
	Due to long lasting relashionship with other manufacturers, we are always able to get other types of cement and clinker quickly even if we don't have them in stock.
 |  
	
	 
 
  | 
	Majority of manufactures ask for cash prepayment - we work with L/C, so our payment terms are much more flexible.
 |  
	
	 
 
  | 
	We can secure much earlier delivery 
because we are not limited to a contracted capacity of certain inland transporters from factory to port like many others.
We can always organise additional vehicles.
 |  
	
	 
 
  | 
	Some manufacturers do not get involved in logistics and work on FOB basis only, whereas we can work on CFR basis.
 |  
	
	 
 
  | 
	Also, surprisingly many manufacturers have shortage of foreign language speakers. We speak 5 languages.
 |  
	
	 
 
  | 
	Manufacturers are spread out around Turkey. We know what manufacturers are located closer to various ports in Turkey and, therefore, can deliver the product much quicker.

NOTE
A word of advise, be aware of smaller traders  or agents that have limited references.
Please remember that reliability in this type of business is more important than saving 1-2 USD dollars on the price, because you will end up paying more when you run into problems with delivery, quality or contract execution.
