AGL

What AGL does

Adatepe Global Lojistik (AGL) is a Turkey-domiciled, privately held global logistics provider offering multimodal freight forwarding, contract logistics, and supply chain services to enterprise customers. The company was founded in 2000 according to its corporate history page, although conflicting dates (1974, 1998, 2000) appear across sources. Headquartered in London with a central office in Sakarya, Turkey, AGL operates through regional offices in Italy, Germany, France, the USA, and Japan, and a wider network of partners and agents across more than 50 countries and 350+ locations on five continents.

The service portfolio comprises six product lines: Air Freight (import/export, on-board couriers, consolidation), Sea Freight (consolidation and full-container with door-to-door control), Overland Network (express trucking, railway, and ground transport between Europe, Turkey, Iraq, and CIS), Project Transport (oversized/heavy cargo), Warehousing & Distribution (550,000+ square meters globally, with cross-docking and dedicated warehouses), and Value Added Services (labelling, packaging, assembly). Underlying technology is limited to visibility tooling — a Mobile Shipment Tracking app, GPS-based 24/7 monitoring, and a 'Next Generation Tracking' capability announced in late 2018 — with no disclosed AI/ML, automation, or proprietary optimization platform.

The business model is B2B enterprise sales with quote-based pricing across contract logistics, air/sea freight, land transport, supply chain management, warehousing, and value-added services. Customers span 11 verticals: automotive, consumer/retail, energy, industrial, technology, electronics, marine, textile, pharma, perishables, and cosmetics. Revenue is generated through freight forwarding margins, contract logistics fees, and warehousing rents. The only disclosed revenue figure is 2013 group sales of €3,584 million (Solutions: €800.3M; Air+Ocean: €898.7M), with no post-2019 financial disclosure in the source data.
