Eker Expands Regional Warehouse Network to 48 Across Turkey

Strengthening its distribution network with a new investment in Aksaray, Eker will provide faster and more efficient service to more than 38,000 sales points daily.

Eker Dairy Products, a leading brand in the milk and dairy products sector, continues to strengthen its sales and distribution network as part of its sustainable growth strategy. The company increased the number of regional depots across Turkey to 48 with a new regional depot it opened in Aksaray. With this new investment, Eker aims to provide faster, more efficient and uninterrupted service to its customers in Aksaray, Niğde and Kırşehir.

The regional depot that commenced operations in Aksaray, one of the important logistics centres in the Central Anatolia Region, further strengthened Eker's distribution network reaching more than 38,000 sales points daily throughout Turkey.

Contributing to regional economy and employment
The Aksaray Regional Depot, with a total of 1,250 square metres of open and closed space, operates with a fleet of 5 vehicles and a team of 9 people. The depot will carry out regular product shipments to Aksaray, Niğde and Kırşehir, as well as the districts of Eskil, Ortaköy and Sultanhanı in Aksaray and the district of Mucur in Kırşehir.

The new investment increases logistics capacity while enabling support for regional employment and contribution to the local economy.

Cold chain protected through its own logistics network
Eker, which carries its quality understanding in production to logistics processes, conducts its distribution activities throughout Turkey through its own organisation without using any intermediary institutions. The company reaches sales points with over 520 refrigerated vehicles in its fleet, protecting the cold chain of milk and dairy products without interruption. In this way, the freshness and safety of products are preserved under Eker's control from the production facility to the consumer.

Reaching millions of consumers with its strong logistics infrastructure, Eker aims to expand its distribution network with new regional depot investments it will implement in the coming period and reach more locations across Turkey.
