Dinçer Lojistik Forges Ahead in Hazardous Materials Storage

Dinçer Lojistik, a niche operator serving an important market in hazardous materials logistics in Turkey, closed the first quarter of 2017 with growth exceeding expectations, posting a 20% turnover increase compared with the same period in the previous year. In addition to the chemical sector, the company provides logistics services to construction, mineral oil, industrial products and automotive sectors, offering storage and door-to-door distribution services for packaged products ranging from 1-gram packaging to 1-tonne IBCs. Dinçer Lojistik, which built a hazardous chemical storage facility with international-standard equipment in Dilovası—an area where the chemical industry is heavily concentrated and widely known for the environmental impacts it generates—and began operations in the fourth quarter of 2016, continues to grow aggressively in the storage segment. Banu Akbaş, Marketing and Sales Manager at Dinçer Lojistik, stated that "there was no hazardous materials warehouse in the Dilovası region meeting SQAS and NFPA standards, and that they have filled a significant gap in the sector in this regard." Pointing out that operations have begun at two new facilities with a combined capacity of 30,000 pallets, built across a total area of 20,000 m2 in the Dilovası region—which is strategically positioned near ports and container terminals and is regarded as the capital of the chemical industry—for storage and distribution preparation of hazardous chemicals, Ms. Akbaş added: "As a result of dedicated work by our drivers through to our management team and significant infrastructure investments we have made, we have achieved an important market share in the transport sector. This year, by focusing on storage projects, we are targeting 2017 to be 'Dinçer's Storage Year'."
