Independent trade desk · Based in Türkiye
Find the right supplier, buyer or commercial partner in Türkiye.
Based in Türkiye, I help companies identify and connect with suitable manufacturers, buyers and commercial partners — with a primary focus on Türkiye-linked trade and selected cross-border opportunities.
From supplier discovery and RFQs to buyer research, outreach and commercial introductions, I help move opportunities from research into real business conversations.

COMMERCIAL COVERAGE
Türkiye at the centre of the commercial work.
Türkiye-linked trade is my core focus, while selected domestic and international projects can also be supported when there is a clear commercial fit.
WHY WORK WITH AN INDEPENDENT REPRESENTATIVE?
A company list is only the beginning.
Large databases can produce hundreds of names. The commercially difficult part is establishing which counterparties are relevant, responsive and worth pursuing.
Who actually makes or buys the product?
Who is interested in the quantity?
Who meets the specification?
Who responds?
Who has commercially realistic terms?
Who is worth continuing the conversation with?
My role is to reduce that noise and move the right conversations forward.
Independent
I am not tied to one manufacturer or buyer.
Türkiye-Based
I work directly in the local business environment while communicating internationally.
Commercially Focused
The objective is a realistic commercial match, not the longest list.
Direct Communication
One contact keeps research, outreach and follow-through connected.
Transparent
Scope and any commercial arrangement are agreed before engagement.

ABOUT
Kenan Ali Temiz
Independent sourcing, buyer-development and commercial representation professional based in Türkiye.
Based in Türkiye · Working internationallyIndependent commercial representative
.webp)
I work at the intersection of supplier discovery, buyer research and international B2B business development.
There are overseas companies looking for products Turkish manufacturers can produce, and capable Turkish manufacturers with limited visibility into where real demand exists. I help close that gap.
I research requirements, identify relevant counterparties, contact companies directly and help turn fragmented market information into buyer–supplier conversations.
Because I work independently rather than as the sales department of a single factory, each project can be approached around the actual commercial requirement.
One accountable commercial contact from first research to the next real conversation.

FOR INTERNATIONAL BUYERS
Looking for a supplier in Türkiye?
Share the product, specification, expected quantity, destination and the commercial factors that matter. I investigate the Turkish market and contact relevant manufacturers directly.
Depending on the requirement, support may include: Explore supplier sourcing in Turkey
Supplier discovery
Identify Turkish manufacturers that appear capable of meeting the product and specification.

Follow-through
Support communication around samples, revised quotations and next steps.
One requirement. One local point of contact.
Email Your RequirementALREADY HAVE A SUPPLIER?
Sourcing in Türkiye does not have to mean replacement.
An additional source can strengthen continuity, flexibility and product development.
Türkiye can be explored as a:
- Second supplier
- Backup source
- Nearshore alternative
- Additional production partner
- Urgent replenishment source
- Supplier for a new product line
FOR TURKISH MANUFACTURERS
Develop realistic overseas buyer opportunities.
I research companies with a credible reason to buy your product and support direct commercial outreach.
The aim is not the longest possible company list. It is to identify relevant buyers, verify the opportunity and create a useful business conversation.
Support may include: Explore international buyer development
- International buyer research
- Market and opportunity research
- Buyer qualification
- Direct outreach
- RFQ and demand research
- Commercial introductions
- Follow-up and communication
- Representation for selected projects
I work best with manufacturers that can provide clear specifications, realistic export pricing and responsive commercial communication. The focus is on identifying and developing credible commercial opportunities rather than guaranteeing sales.
Discuss Buyer DevelopmentHOW I WORK
From requirement to commercial conversation.
Requirement
You explain the product, market, quantity, specification and commercial objective.
Market Search
I identify relevant manufacturers, buyers, importers, distributors or commercial partners — depending on the project.
Direct Contact
I approach suitable companies, clarify the requirement and establish genuine interest.
Commercial Comparison
Where relevant, I organise the details that determine whether a match is practical.
- Pricing
- MOQ
- Lead time
- Payment terms
- Certifications

- Delivery terms
- Specifications
Introduction
When there is a commercially relevant fit, I establish direct communication between the parties.
Follow-Through
I can continue supporting quotations, samples, buyer questions and next-step coordination.
WHAT I WORK WITH
Commercial fit comes before category labels.
Türkiye has a broad manufacturing base. I evaluate each requirement individually rather than implying technical expertise in every sector.
Packaging & paper products
01Furniture & home products
02Textiles & soft goods
03Industrial & commercial products
04Metal & fabricated products
05Components & intermediate products
06Selected consumer goods
07Custom manufacturing requirements
08Projects are evaluated individually based on commercial fit.
Not sure whether Türkiye is suitable for your product?
Send the requirement first. I will tell you whether it is practical to investigate.
DISCUSS A REQUIREMENT
Share your sourcing or market-development requirement.
A useful first message is specific.
Tell me what you are looking for. The form adapts for sourcing, buyer development and representation inquiries.
- What you are looking for
- Product or commercial offer
- Target market or destination
- Quantity or capacity where relevant
- Commercial objective
A formal RFQ is useful but not required. If the opportunity is clear enough to evaluate, the conversation can start there.
