🧵 Textile Transport & Logistics in Turkey

At AGI Logistics, we understand that the textile industry is demanding — shaped by seasons, trends, and strict deadlines. That’s why we have developed a dedicated expertise in textile logistics between Turkey and Europe, supporting brands, garment manufacturers, distributors, and e-commerce players in optimizing their supply chains every day.

Our services cover the entire textile logistics flow: pickups from all major textile production zones in Turkey, regular groupage shipments, full truckload (FTL) transport, express deliveries by minivan or air, bonded warehousing, and order preparation. We tailor our logistics solutions to the nature of your products — whether it's hanging garments, fabric rolls, home textiles, or fashion accessories — ensuring full traceability and smooth delivery across Europe.

Partnering with us means gaining access to a multilingual, experienced team, deep customs expertise, and a reliable network across Turkey, Bulgaria, and Europe. Our goal is simple: to provide you with smooth, visible, and stress-free logistics, no matter the volume or complexity of your textile shipments.

The textile sector requires logistics that are fast, flexible, and reliable. Brands, manufacturers, and distributors expect on-time deliveries, total control over flows, and efficient handling of seasonal peaks or returns.

At AGI Logistics, we meet these needs through weekly groupage departures from Turkey’s main textile hubs and our AGI Xpress service for urgent deliveries in 24 to 72 hours. We master the industry's logistics specifics — from hanging garment transport to seasonal planning, warehousing, order fulfillment, and customs clearance. With strategic warehouses in Turkey and Bulgaria, we deliver an end-to-end textile logistics solution — from the factory to the final customer.

❓ 3. FAQ – Textile Logistics from Turkey

What are the main textile production centers in Turkey?
Turkey has one of the world’s densest textile industrial zones. The main production hubs include Istanbul, Izmir, Denizli, Bursa, Gaziantep, Adana, Kayseri, and Mersin. These regions are home to thousands of factories, workshops, and suppliers of fabric and finished garments.

Do you transport hanging garments?
Absolutely. We provide specialized hanging garment transport (GOH) to ensure wrinkle-free, secure delivery. This is ideal for high-end fashion brands or ready-to-sell items destined for retail stores.

What are the average transit times for textile shipments to Europe?
Transit times depend on destination and service type:

Express: 24 to 72 hours (minivan, double-driver truck, or air freight)

Groupage (LTL): 4 to 7 days

Full Truckload (FTL): 3 to 6 days depending on the country
We always provide a clear and realistic ETA adapted to the actual transport conditions.

Do you also handle reverse logistics (returns, sorting, reprocessing)?
Yes. We offer return solutions for e-commerce and unsold items, including reception, sorting, quality check, temporary storage, and reconditioning if required.

Do you offer textile warehousing?
Yes, we operate warehouses in Istanbul, Sofia, and Varna for both short-term and long-term storage. We also offer order fulfillment, labeling, consolidation, and cross-docking services to reduce lead times.

Can you assist with customs procedures?
Yes. As the textile industry is subject to specific rules (customs codes, certifications, quotas, etc.), we provide full support with customs clearance, both in Turkey and Europe. Our team is trained to guide you through every step.

📉 Textile in Turkey: A Strategic and Expanding Sector

Turkey is a global powerhouse in textile production, ranking 5th among the world’s top textile exporters. It supplies a significant portion of the European market’s demand, thanks to its skilled workforce, high industrial capacity, and strategic location allowing rapid delivery across Europe.

Cities like Istanbul, Izmir, Bursa, Denizli, and Gaziantep host thousands of garment factories, textile mills, dyeing and printing facilities. The product range is vast — from ready-to-wear and technical garments to home textiles, raw fabrics, and accessories. Turkish producers cater to both fast fashion giants and premium brands.

What makes Turkey especially attractive is its agility and flexibility. It enables short production runs, quick design changes, and rapid manufacturing cycles — a strategic alternative to Asian sourcing. With shorter lead times and greater reliability, a strong logistics solution is essential to fully leverage Turkey’s textile potential.
