Sixteen years of hands-on trade experience — now amplified by AI. We connect international buyers with the right Turkish manufacturers, handling everything from research to delivery.
How Estra works
From your first message to a verified supplier — guided by intelligence.
Why Estra
Most sourcing services send you a spreadsheet and call it research. We don't. We work the way a trusted local partner would — with context, judgment, and accountability.
One-time deal or long-term partner? Price-first or quality-first? What volume? We ask before we act — the right supplier depends entirely on the right question.
We don't pull names from a directory. We evaluate manufacturers against your criteria and present a small, curated shortlist — each with a clear reason why they fit.
Our specialists visit manufacturers in person, cross-referencing with our AI shipment intelligence. No virtual filters, no second-hand information. Physically verified.
Among the first in our field to deploy AI-driven shipment intelligence — analyzing real trade data from 228+ countries to identify genuine buyers and surface opportunities.
The process
A structured process designed to eliminate uncertainty at every step.
Start a conversation with our AI assistant. It speaks your language, asks smart follow-up questions, and builds a complete brief.
Before searching, we confirm: target price range, volume, quality expectations, certifications needed, one-off or ongoing relationship.
We go to the factory. Our specialists assess capacity, quality, and reliability — cross-referencing with shipment intelligence data.
Not a list of hundreds. A short written report on two or three manufacturers — explaining why each suits your specific requirement.
Negotiations, production monitoring, quality checks, shipping coordination. Photos and updates throughout — you stay informed, not anxious.
Every step is personal. A real member of our team reviews your request and writes the report — supported by AI tools that make our research faster and deeper than ever before.
Start your requestOur services
You describe the product — we find out whether it's manufactured in Turkey, who makes it, and what it costs. We tap into our network, make calls, and get real answers. Sample or product demonstration? We handle that too.
A curated shortlist of producers in a specific sector — not scraped from the web, but researched and filtered against your criteria. Company background, capacity, certifications, export history, direct contact details. We can also conduct initial outreach on your behalf.
Before you negotiate, know the market. We research current Turkish market prices for your target product — factory gate, FOB, and estimated landed cost. Walk into any negotiation with confidence, not guesswork.
One of Turkey's greatest strengths — and one of our specialities. Design, sample, or concept: we identify contract manufacturers ready to produce to your specifications. Factory visits, production capability evaluation, and support through to a signed agreement.
We maintain an active network of Turkish manufacturers — reached through direct email lists, sector-specific WhatsApp groups, and our dedicated sourcing platform. Send us your requirement; we broadcast it to the right producers and bring you responses from manufacturers who are genuinely interested.
Entering a new market is never just about finding a supplier. We advise on regulations, payment structures, logistics, documentation, and Turkish business culture. A single session or ongoing support through a complex trade process — we're available.
Not sure which service fits? Just tell us what you're trying to do. Our AI assistant will ask the right questions and we'll recommend the most appropriate path forward.
Start a conversationEstra Quarterly
Every quarter, we publish a curated directory of Turkish manufacturers — printed and mailed to international buyers worldwide. What makes it different is how we build it.
Our verification standard
Every manufacturer listed in the Estra Quarterly has been visited in person by our team. We do not accept listings based on online applications alone. Regardless of how a producer finds us, face-to-face contact is mandatory before we publish their profile. What you read has been physically verified — not pulled from a database.
New issue in preparation. Enter your email to be notified when it's available.
You're on the list. We'll be in touch when the new issue is ready.

Our team
Our core team has been active in international trade for over sixteen years. For every sector and market, we collaborate with specialists who have spent decades inside their industry.
We don't find suppliers by searching the internet. We find them the way it's always worked — through relationships, visits, and the kind of knowledge that only comes from being present in the market for a long time.
Core Trade Team
Istanbul · Active since 2008
Our founding team has been facilitating trade between Turkey, Asia, the Middle East, and the Americas for over sixteen years. We've handled both sides — importing into Turkey and exporting Turkish goods abroad — across machinery, chemicals, industrial materials, and consumer goods.
Sector Specialists Network
Turkey-wide · On-call
Beyond our core team, we work with a network of sector specialists — industry veterans with 20+ years of hands-on experience in their field. When your request calls for deep technical knowledge in a specific area, we bring in the right person. Their guidance shapes both our research and our recommendations.
AI-powered intelligence layer
We are among the first trade intelligence firms to deploy AI-analyzed shipment data at scale — processing real consignment records from over 228 countries to identify genuine buyers, track purchasing patterns, and surface opportunities that traditional research simply cannot reach. This is not a feature we added. It is central to how we work.
