Maximum Export — 20 Years of Export Experience

Maximum Export was founded in Istanbul in 2005 with the mission of bringing Turkish manufacturers to the global stage. Today we serve 1,000+ active buyers in 40+ countries and bring 150+ Turkish producers to international markets under the Maximum Group umbrella.

Our Story

We started in 2005 as a small export office in Mahmutbey, Istanbul. Our founders' dream was clear: to give Turkish manufacturing the place it deserves in global markets.

In the first 5 years we specialised in the Middle East. Saudi Arabia, UAE, Kuwait and Qatar — still our strongest markets today. We helped Turkish housewares earn a solid market share in the Gulf.

In 2012 we expanded into Europe. Germany, France, Italy — we started working with global retailers like Carrefour and Metro. The Container Builder concept was first developed in this period: so small producers could reach single-container order volumes.

In 2018 we expanded into Africa and CIS markets. Egypt, Morocco, Algeria — Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan. Today we have local offices on 5 continents.

In 2024 we completed our digital transformation. Buyers can now build their containers online, receive proformas and manage payments through the Maximum Via marketplace platform.

Our Mission

To free Turkish manufacturers from operational burden and let them succeed in global markets. Producers should only produce — sales, marketing, logistics, customs and collections are on us.

Our Vision

To onboard 500+ Turkish manufacturers by 2030, become active in 80+ countries, and be the first platform that comes to mind when "Turkish product" is mentioned worldwide.

Our Values

1

Transparency

All pricing, commission and operational information is shared openly with producers. No hidden costs.

20 years of experience, ISO-certified processes, local teams on 5 continents. Every shipment trackable, every document digital.

Long-term Partnership

We aim for 5-10-20 year sustainable cooperation, not one-off deals. When our producer grows, we grow.
