Global Aluminum Solutions & Strategic Logistics Partner: Mertcan Metal

Bridging Continents: Exporting to 30+ Countries with Precision Operating from our state-of-the-art extrusion facilities in Kartepe, Kocaeli, Mertcan Metal transcends national borders to deliver high-precision aluminum extrusion solutions to the global industry. Driven by our vision of "Local Production, Global Standards," we have established ourselves as a reliable strategic partner in the international arena, executing regular export operations to over 30 countries, primarily across Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa (MENA).

Our export strategy is not merely about selling products; it is engineered around sustainable supply chain management, agile logistics operations, and Just-in-Time (JIT) delivery principles ensuring your production lines never stop.

Kocaeli: Your Strategic Gateway to European & Global Markets The backbone of Mertcan Metal’s export success lies in our strategic location in Kocaeli, the logistical hub of Turkish industry. Our Kartepe facility offers unrivaled connectivity:

• Proximity to Major Ports: Our immediate access to Turkey’s largest container and Ro-Ro terminals—Evyap Port, DP World, and Yılport—provides a significant speed advantage for overseas shipments, optimizing transit times for global trade.
• European Highway Network: Direct integration with the Northern Marmara Highway and Trans-European transit corridors minimizes lead times for road transport, effectively shrinking the distance to Western Europe.

Customs Compliance & Regulatory Expertise We simplify the complexities of international trade for our partners. Our experienced Foreign Trade Department operates with full command of destination market customs legislations, tax regulations, and certification requirements (including A.TR Circulation Certificates, EUR.1, and Certificate of Origin).

Tailored to your operational needs, we offer flexible delivery models within the framework of Incoterms 2020:

• EXW (Ex Works): Factory handover for clients with their own logistics networks.
• FOB / CIF: Secure delivery to the port of loading or destination, inclusive of freight and insurance.
• DDP (Delivered Duty Paid): Our premium "Door-to-Door" service, particularly for our European partners, where we handle all import duties, taxes, and final delivery directly to your warehouse—seamless and risk-free.

Impeccable Protection: Seaworthy Packaging Standards The condition of the aluminum profile upon arrival is as critical as its production quality. To mitigate risks of corrosion (white rust), moisture, and physical impact during long-haul sea or road freight, we implement rigorous Seaworthy Packaging protocols. We utilize VCI technologies and ISPM 15 compliant materials to ensure your goods arrive in pristine condition.

Growth Focused on Germany & The Eurozone Leveraging our robust distributor network and strategic partnerships in Germany—the industrial engine of Europe—we have internalized European Quality Norms (DIN, EN) into our production DNA. Mertcan Metal serves its global partners not just as a supplier, but as a strategic solution partner managing the entire lifecycle from extrusion to logistical delivery.
