Living the Neighbourhood Advantage in Logistics
Georgia is not only a geographical neighbor for Turkey, but also a strategic commercial bridge. According to 2023 data, bilateral trade volume has exceeded $ 2.8 billion and this figure is growing steadily every year with collaborations in the construction, textile, food, automotive and energy sectors. The ports of Batumi and Poti, in particular, have become critical logistics hubs for both Turkey and Central Asia.
And most importantly: Georgia-a shipping is much shorter, faster and economical compared to Europe-a. There is an average distance of 1,200 km from Istanbul- to Tbilisi-e highway and this distance can be easily exceeded in 24-36 hours. Border crossings (especially the Sarp Gate) often run smoothly without intensity. This means that the Georgia route is an ideal option for both emergency shipments and regular deliveries.
As Fatih Group Logistics, we turn this geographical proximity into a logistical advantage. We offer our customers not only - transport-, but also integrated, transparent and flexible logistics solution. Because every cargo you send to Georgia is not just a cargo, but a concrete indicator of neighborly trust.
the Georgian Transport Company Fatih Group
Fatih Group Logistics is a logistics company that has been operating in the international transportation sector since 2006, based in Ankara and has a branch in Istanbul. On the Georgian route, we combine three basic transport methods: road, sea (integration of Black Sea ports) and rail (via BTK line).
The latest model Mercedes TIR-s in our own fleet are equipped to meet both standard and refrigerated transportation needs. Since the average waiting time at Sarp Border Gate is between 2-4 hours, we guarantee that your shipments will be delivered on time.
Georgia's logistics infrastructure has developed significantly in recent years. There are modern storage and distribution centers in cities such as Tbilisi, Batumi and Kutaisi. This means that when you work with the right partner, the Georgia route becomes both fast and cost-effective.
In addition, customs processes are relatively easy and fast, as there is a free trade agreement between Georgia and Turkey. Especially in products of Turkish origin, preferential customs clearance is offered - which allows you to save costs.
