Tuscor Lloyds have been providing tailor – made shipping solutions specialising in international freight forwarding for more than 28 years.

With their head office based in UK , they also have offices across Mexico and in 2021 decided to expand in to Turkey. With ever increasing demand for Exports and Imports the decision was made to open Tuscor Lloyds Turkey Lojistik Limited Sirketi. The company has established itself in Istanbul and operationally has an office base in Izmir serving customers throughout the entirety of Turkey. Tuscor Lloyds have been active in the Turkish Market for over 20 years and feel this is the perfect time to grow their business further. Keeping to Tuscor Lloyds core principles, the main area of expertise is order management and project cargo remaining heavily focused within the automobile and agricultural industry.
