Contract Manufacturers Go Digital to Boost Exports

Contract Manufacturers Go Digital to Boost Exports

Turkey’s export figures have reached an all-time high, with a 20.3% increase in October 2021 compared to the same period last year.

Contract manufacturers are now pushing beyond borders, taking advantage of new opportunities in international trade.

Tezmaksan Makine and Parkurda.com’s Project & Marketing Manager, Berna Şikel, highlighted the growing role of contract manufacturers in Turkey’s economy:

"Companies with raw materials but insufficient production capacity rely on contract manufacturers. These producers not only scale their businesses and increase income but also contribute to the national economy. We facilitate this growth by offering a single digital platform where producers and businesses can connect."
