"Turkey-Poland Ties Strengthen in Automotive Supply Industry"

Transformation in the European automotive sector is bringing new partnerships in supply chains, while trade volume between Turkey and Poland is growing notably. Raben Group, one of Europe's leading logistics companies, supports Turkish automotive suppliers' access to European markets through its strong operational network in Poland and widespread logistics infrastructure across Europe.

Rising production costs, the electric vehicle transition, and supply chain restructuring are taking the European automotive sector into a new phase. During this period, European manufacturers' shift toward alternative and robust supply centers is further strengthening Turkey's position in automotive supply industry.

According to data from Turkey's Statistical Institute (TÜİK), in the first four months of 2026, Turkey's exports of "motor vehicle parts and components, chassis and bodies" reached USD 2.933 billion, hitting a historic level. Exports to Poland during the same period were recorded at USD 148.8 million. Poland, which has become a strategic hub in European automotive production, continues to be an important market for Turkish manufacturers.

These developments are increasing trade volume between the two countries while also raising the importance of logistics operations.

Seamless Logistics Network from Turkey to Poland, Poland to Europe
Raben Group, which has a strong distribution network across Europe, supports automotive suppliers through logistics solutions spanning from Turkey to Poland and from Poland to many European countries.

Selman Çoban, General Director of Raben Turkey, made comments on the subject, highlighting Poland's strategic role in European automotive production:

"Poland has become one of the most important production centers in European automotive industry. Investments by numerous global automotive brands in the country are creating significant opportunities for Turkish supply industry manufacturers. We have established a strong logistics line extending from production centers such as Bursa, Kocaeli and Istanbul to Poland. By combining our operational strength in Poland with our network across Europe, we enable our customers to reach many EU countries, particularly Germany, quickly and reliably."

Just-in-Time Delivery Provides Competitive Advantage
Çoban emphasized that production continuity is critical in the automotive sector, noting that speed and predictability in logistics processes create competitive advantage.

Çoban continued as follows:

"Timely delivery is of great importance for uninterrupted operation of production lines in the automotive sector. Through our offices and warehouses in Istanbul and Bursa, we serve both large-scale manufacturers and exporting SMEs. Thanks to our partial transport network operating with regular shuttle routes established across Europe, we can offer our customers fixed departure days and predictable transit times. This structure particularly facilitates operational planning for companies engaged in order-based production."
