Deniz Niyazi Y.
Turkey Sourcing Agent | Supplier Search & Manufacturer Verification
Turkey sourcing agent and independent buyer-side procurement consultant. I help international buyers find and verify Turkish manufacturers, compare supplier quotations, monitor active orders, and confirm shipment readiness — without supplier commissions, referral fees, or hidden mark-ups. SELECTED RESULTS • Prevented an unsuitable machinery supplier decision by identifying a trader presenting itself as a manufacturer and another supplier with expired CE documentation. • Investigated an active order for which the supplier reported that 610 units were ready. The on-site verification found that none were shipment-ready, and further payment was not recommended. • Compared four textile RFQs and identified certification scope, payment exposure, and contract-term risks before supplier selection. HOW I CAN HELP • Turkish manufacturer and supplier search • Supplier identity and capability verification • RFQ preparation and quotation comparison • MOQ, pricing, lead-time, payment-term, and Incoterm review • Factory visits and active-order checks • Production and sample follow-up • Pre-shipment inspection and document verification • Independent buyer-side sourcing and procurement support I regularly support projects involving textiles and apparel, machinery and industrial equipment, food and FMCG, furniture, cosmetics, electrical products, medical products, and construction materials. WHY CLIENTS WORK WITH ME • Top Rated Plus with 100% Job Success • 20+ years of procurement, sourcing, and logistics experience • Former Turkish Armed Forces procurement and logistics officer with NATO and UN mission experience • Direct, independent buyer-side representation in Turkey • Structured reports, documented findings, and clear recommendations If you are sourcing from Turkey or already working with a Turkish supplier, send me the product, quotation, supplier details, or current issue. I will identify what should be checked first and propose a clear scope, timeline, and cost.
