Our story

We built the marketplace we wished existed.

Turkey makes things the world wants — technical textiles, food, furniture, machinery, cosmetics, jewellery — from factories that span three generations and workshops that ship to forty countries. Yet for most international buyers, reaching them still means brokers, trade fairs, and leap-of-faith wire transfers.

We started WholesaleTurkey because that friction is expensive. It is expensive for the buyer in Nairobi who cannot verify a Bursa textile mill in advance. It is expensive for the family-run cosmetics brand in Istanbul that cannot reach a German distributor without a reseller taking 30 percent. And it is expensive for the planet, because opacity kills accountability.

So we built one place where buyers can discover, vet, negotiate, pay, and track — and where suppliers get paid on time, in their currency, with the paperwork handled. Every feature we ship is measured against one question: does it make the next honest transaction more likely?

What we stand for

Six principles we optimise for.

Trust is a product, not a promise

Every Gold / Verified badge is backed by documentary review, site audits, and ongoing behavioral scoring. Trust has to be earned — and provable.

Transparency by default

Escrow, audit logs, dispute outcomes, and fee structures are visible to the parties they affect. No black boxes between buyer and supplier.

AI that serves the user, not the margin

Our matching engine optimises for buyer-supplier fit and delivery performance — not for who pays for placement. We will never sell search ranking.

Sustainable trade is cheaper trade

Carbon footprint and ESG signals are first-class inputs. Sourcing responsibly is also sourcing resiliently.

Accessibility beats scale

A family workshop in Bursa should be as reachable as a 500-person factory in Izmir. We build tools so small and mid-size businesses can compete on quality, not marketing budget.

The deal is not the end

We track repeat-order rate, not just GMV. A marketplace is only as good as the second transaction.
