What we do, how we do it, and why the model works
Global Trading Ltd. is an Istanbul-based international industrial supply company. We source, procure, and export industrial equipment, raw materials, and energy systems to buyers across the Middle East, Central Asia, Africa, and beyond — operating as a specification-level procurement partner, not a passive product catalogue.

Product verticals across industrial supply
Countries served across four regions
Maximum RFQ response on standard items
A sourcing partner positioned at the supply origin
From your requirement to your delivery — the full process
You submit your requirement — product name, grade, quantity, specification, destination port, and preferred Incoterm.
We review specification against available supply — confirming grade, standard, brand equivalency, and documentation requirements before pricing.
A competitive, itemised quotation issued with unit price, total value, lead time, Incoterm, payment terms, and documentation list.
Purchase order received, pro-forma invoice issued, payment terms agreed. Production or sourcing order placed with manufacturer or producer.
Goods shipped with full documentation — COA, MSDS, packing list, commercial invoice, certificate of origin, and bill of lading.
Seven product verticals. One supply partner.
Control valves, isolation valves, process transmitters, actuators, gauges, sensors, DCS and SCADA components, rotating equipment, and MRO consumables for upstream and downstream operations.
Boric acid, borax pentahydrate, borax decahydrate, boron oxide, colemanite, ulexite, and specialty borates — sourced from Eti Maden's production facilities in Türkiye and exported directly to manufacturers worldwide.
Polyethylene (PE80/PE100), polypropylene grades, methanol, industrial lubricants, corrosion and scale inhibitors, biocides, demulsifiers, and specialty process chemicals for manufacturing and oilfield operations.
Complete solar system bill-of-materials — photovoltaic modules, string and central inverters, mounting and racking structures, charge controllers, and battery storage systems for utility-scale, commercial, and off-grid installations.
Non-destructive testing equipment including ultrasonic flaw detectors, phased array UT, radiographic inspection systems, magnetic particle testing, liquid penetrant, and eddy current testing instruments for industrial inspection operations.
X-ray baggage and parcel scanners, X-ray cargo and container scanners, full-vehicle and truck scanning systems, walk-through metal detector gates, and handheld metal detectors for airports, seaports, border crossings, and government facilities.
All grades of paraffin wax and petroleum jelly for industrial, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical applications. Supply currently suspended — scheduled to resume. Register your interest for pre-supply notification.
Three supply models — one for every procurement structure
Single-order procurement for an immediate or project-specific requirement. Submit your RFQ, receive a competitive quotation within 24 hours, order confirmed on purchase order. Features: No minimum commitment · 24hr quote turnaround · Full documentation per shipment · All Incoterms available
Multi-line, multi-shipment procurement for a capital project or facility turnaround. We manage the full BOM sourcing across categories, brands, and delivery schedules. Features: Single point of contact for all lines · Technical review per line item · Delivery schedule management · Consolidated or split shipments
Long-term supply agreement for recurring product requirements — typically boron products, polymers, or chemicals. Fixed or indexed pricing, agreed volumes, and scheduled delivery over a defined contract period.
Who we supply
Six buyer types we serve every day
Oil and gas operators, refinery operators, and petrochemical plant managers procuring instrumentation, valves, and MRO equipment for ongoing operations and shutdowns.
Engineering, procurement, and construction firms requiring multi-category supply across instrumentation, valves, electrical, and mechanical items for capital projects across the region.
Glass, ceramics, fiberglass, fertilizer, detergent, and advanced materials manufacturers requiring consistent, quality-certified raw material supply — primarily boron products and industrial chemicals.
Regional importers and industrial distributors looking to source from Turkey — either as their primary supply channel or as a competitively priced alternative to their existing European or Asian sources.
Airport authorities, border control agencies, customs administrations, and security procurement departments requiring screening and threat-detection equipment for critical infrastructure.
Renewable energy project developers and EPC firms procuring solar system components — modules, inverters, mounting, and storage — for utility-scale and commercial installations.
40+ countries across four primary regions
Iraq · UAE · Saudi Arabia · Kuwait · Egypt · Jordan · Oman · Qatar · Bahrain · Libya · Tunisia · Algeria · Morocco — Primary market. Strongest in oil & gas equipment and boron minerals.
Kazakhstan · Azerbaijan · Turkmenistan · Uzbekistan · Georgia — Active oil and gas equipment supply corridor. Istanbul gives us a direct logistics route unavailable to European competitors.
India · Pakistan · Bangladesh · Malaysia · Vietnam · Indonesia — Primary for boron products (ceramics, glass, agriculture). Also active for polymers and chemicals supply.
Nigeria · Ghana · Kenya · Tanzania · Ethiopia · Algeria · Egypt (also MENA) — Growing market. Active across industrial chemicals, security equipment, and solar systems.
Why source through us instead of buying direct?
Eti Maden sells in very large volumes through exclusive regional agents. For buyers who do not meet minimum tonnage thresholds or are outside an agent's covered territory, a direct relationship is not available. We fill that gap — providing access to Eti Maden-origin product in commercially viable quantities with full flexibility on Incoterms and packaging.
Most European and Asian equipment manufacturers require you to work through their regional distributors — which adds a margin layer. We have established relationships that allow us to source at competitive prices and pass that efficiency to buyers, while providing a local-time-zone, English-and-Arabic-speaking single point of contact instead of navigating manufacturer export departments directly.
Before we quote any technical product, we review the specification against available supply — confirming pressure class, material grade, connection standard, and applicable approval (API, ATEX, SIL, etc.). We do not ship products that do not match the stated specification. Every technical shipment leaves with a COA and, where applicable, a material test report.
For buyers in Iraq, UAE, Egypt, and Kazakhstan: 3 to 7 fewer days of sea freight transit. No EU VAT complexity on re-export. Competitive customs corridor access. And a supplier operating in your time zone — which means your question sent at 9am reaches us at 9am, not 7am London or 10am Frankfurt.
The network that backs every quotation we issue
The world's single largest boron producer, headquartered in Türkiye. Our boron supply channel provides access to their full refined product portfolio for international export.
Established sourcing relationships with manufacturers of industrial valves, instrumentation, and control systems across Germany, Italy, France, and the wider EU — sourced to specification, shipped from Istanbul.
Cost-competitive sourcing for standard-grade polymers, chemicals, and equipment components from verified Asian manufacturers — with full quality documentation and specification compliance verification.
Direct relationships with original equipment manufacturers of NDT inspection systems and security screening equipment — providing buyers access to OEM-quality products with technical support and documentation.
Supply chain partnerships for complete solar system BOM components — IEC-certified PV modules, inverters, mounting systems, and storage — covering both European and competitive Asian-origin supply options.
Established freight forwarder and customs clearance relationships operating from Ambarlı Port, Istanbul Atatürk and Istanbul Airport — covering sea, air, and road freight to all primary destinations.
