In December 2023, international logistics company AsstrA officially joined the Turkish International Association of Freight Forwarders (Uluslalarası Nakliyeciler Dernegi, or UND). Since its founding in 1974, the UND has sought to find solutions to challenges faced in the road transport sector, both in Turkey and internationally. Membership in the association leads to a wide range of opportunities for companies engaged in international road freight transportation.
Ersan Erkose, Developer Supplier at AsstrA, emphasizes the strategic importance of UND membership: "Joining UND opens up new prospects for our Istanbul office. We are proud to contribute to the development of the logistics industry and exchange expertise with significant players in the regional market."
Thanks to the company’s membership in the UND, AsstrA now has better access to information about the latest practices and innovations in the field of logistics. Such information will help AsstrA continue integrating modern technologies into its day-to-day operations to enhance the quality of its offerings. Joining the association is among the latest examples of AsstrA's commitment to upholding professional standards and actively sharing industry knowledge across borders.
Demand for road transportation services is increasing in Turkey, making the country particularly attractive to international logistics companies. As Ersan Erkose highlights: "For AsstrA, Turkey is a key market. Membership in the UND allows us to more efficiently build the knowledge and know-how we need to keep fine tuning our offerings, providing clients with customized logistics solutions, and fully realizing the potential of the Turkish market."
