The sourcing advantage explained

Why direct Turkish-origin supply costs less

The redistribution problem

Most international buyers pay a European margin on Turkish product

Eti Maden sells through exclusive regional subsidiaries — Etimine SA for Europe, Etimine USA for North America, and similar for Asia. Buyers outside these primary markets, or below Eti Maden's direct minimum tonnage thresholds, purchase through distributors who have purchased from the subsidiaries. Each layer adds margin, lead time, and a point of supply chain risk.

As a Turkey-based company with a direct supply relationship with Eti Maden, we eliminate the primary redistribution layer — providing buyers access to origin-priced material in commercially viable quantities with full flexibility on packaging and Incoterms.
