Gümrük Ekspres

What Gümrük Ekspres does

Gümrük Ekspres is a Turkish customs brokerage and integrated logistics company operating as the branded division of NHR Lojistik Gümrük Hizmetleri A.Ş. Founded in Bursa in 2018, it leverages 22+ years of customs experience inherited from the parent organization to serve import/export companies, manufacturers, and domestic distribution networks across Turkey. The company operates a 9-city branch network (Istanbul, Ankara, İzmir, Bursa, Mersin, Adana, Kayseri, Ordu, Artvin) covering all Turkish customs regions, anchored by a 5,000 m² bonded/free-zone warehouse in Bursa used for storage, consolidation, deconsolidation, barcode labeling, packing, and quality control.

The service portfolio comprises five interconnected lines: international logistics (road, sea, air, rail, and oversized heavy cargo), customs clearance (import, export, and transit declarations), warehousing, domestic logistics (express and partial LTL distribution using owned and contracted vehicles), and foreign trade consultancy (TSE certification, investment incentive certification, inward/outward processing permits, and tariff classification). Revenue is predominantly transaction-fee based on individual declarations and shipments, with warehousing on managed services and consultancy on professional services fee arrangements. Pricing is quote-based with no public price list, and the go-to-market is direct sales only — field sales through branch offices for enterprise accounts and an inside-sales customer portal for mid-market and individual clients. The technology stack is operational rather than differentiated: a web-based customer portal for quote requests, cargo tracking, and real-time shipment notifications; no app, no APIs, no disclosed integrations, and no AI/ML capabilities.

The company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds or external investors. It holds ISO 9001, ISO 27001 (TURKAK-accredited), ISO 37001, and IAS special inspection certifications, and has filed a trademark application for the Gümrük Ekspres brand. Revenue, headcount, and management-team details are not publicly disclosed.
