What Kadro TMGD does

Kadro TMGD (legal name: KADRO TEHLİKELİ MADDE GÜVENLİK DANIŞMANLIĞI A.Ş.) is a privately held Turkish professional-services consultancy headquartered in Konak, İzmir. Founded in May 2017 and officially authorized by Turkey's Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure on 16 November 2017, the firm operates as a TMGDK (Dangerous Goods Safety Consultancy Organization), providing advisory services to companies that handle hazardous materials across all four transport modes — road (ADR), rail (RID), sea (IMDG Code), and air (IATA/ICAO DGR). The company describes itself as the first Turkish organization to bring together Dangerous Goods Safety Consultants (TMGD) from different sectors (public, private, and academic) under a single entity, and services are delivered directly by consultants without intermediaries.

The service portfolio is organized around regulatory compliance deliverables: ADR road-transport consultancy, TMFB (Dangerous Goods Activity Certificate) acquisition and renewal, T9 ADR vehicle approval certification, RID rail consultancy and TMFB-DMR guidance, IMDG Code sea-transport consultancy, IATA/ICAO air-transport consultancy, Explosion Protection Document preparation, mandatory ADR Chapter 1.3 training programs (awareness, function-specific, and safety), EK-3 reports under the June 2022 Road Transport Regulation, accident-report preparation, and annual activity-report preparation filed via e-government. Supporting the consulting workflow is a Müşteri Paneli (Customer Panel) self-service portal for report submission and document management, plus a publicly accessible regulatory database (kanunlar, yönetmelikler, genelgeler, talimatlar, uluslararası sözleşmeler) and Bilgi Bankası knowledge-base blog used for top-of-funnel content marketing.

The business model is professional-services based with a sales-led, direct-engagement GTM motion: prospects contact the firm for service quotes, and the company operates a customer panel for ongoing client management. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is provided on a quote basis. Revenue is generated exclusively from regulated consultancy engagements, recurring compliance documentation (annual activity reports, EK-3 updates), and mandated training delivery. The company operates as a domestically focused single-country business with no disclosed funding, parent company, or external investors, and its entire footprint is concentrated in İzmir, Turkey.

Broad incumbents

• SGS: SGS is a global inspection, verification, testing, and certification company serving logistics, industrial, chemical, and transportation customers. It is comparable as a broad incumbent with overlapping compliance and safety assurance services for clients handling regulated goods.
• DEKRA: DEKRA provides safety, inspection, training, and consulting services across transport and industrial sectors, including dangerous-goods-related advisory in many markets. It is comparable as a larger certification and safety incumbent overlapping with Kadro TMGD's regulated compliance offering.
• Bureau Veritas: Bureau Veritas is a global testing, inspection, and certification company with transport, safety, and regulatory compliance services. It is comparable as a broad incumbent that can serve hazardous-goods and logistics compliance needs as part of a much wider assurance portfolio.
• TÜV SÜD: TÜV SÜD offers testing, inspection, certification, and training services across transport, industrial safety, and regulatory compliance. It is comparable because it can address dangerous-goods and safety compliance requirements, but as part of a broad global TIC portfolio rather than a focused Turkish TMGD consultancy.

Direct peers

• Labelmaster: Labelmaster offers hazardous-materials and dangerous-goods shipping compliance products, training, software, publications, and packaging. It is comparable to Kadro TMGD through its focus on helping shippers and transport operators comply with dangerous-goods regulations.
• CHEMTREC: CHEMTREC provides hazardous materials emergency response, SDS/regulatory support, and dangerous-goods transportation compliance services. It is comparable because both companies serve organizations that must manage hazardous-material transport obligations and documentation risk.
• DGM (Dangerous Goods Management): DGM provides dangerous-goods compliance, training, packing, documentation, and logistics-support services. It is highly comparable because Kadro TMGD also supports companies with dangerous-goods transport compliance and documentation across regulated modes.

Emerging players

• DGOffice: DGOffice provides dangerous-goods compliance software and regulatory workflow tools for classification, documentation, and transport compliance. It is comparable as a productized technology alternative to Kadro TMGD's customer-panel-supported consultancy model.

Regional players

• Lion Technology: Lion Technology provides EHS, hazardous-materials transportation, and dangerous-goods compliance training. It is comparable to Kadro TMGD's ADR awareness, job-specific, and safety training services, though Lion is more training-focused and primarily serves North American customers.
• National Cargo Bureau: National Cargo Bureau provides cargo inspection, dangerous-goods compliance, and training services with a strong maritime focus. It is comparable to Kadro TMGD's IMDG maritime dangerous-goods advisory, though it is more specialized by mode and geography.
