Recently, some international companies operating in the furniture, textile, pharmaceutical, and packaging sectors directed their production and investments to Turkey, after the serious disruptions in the global trade movement.
With the start of the economic recovery phase, the disruptions that affected the production chains, especially in the Asian countries, led to the emergence of a deficit in the face of the increasing demand.
It directed several European companies, led by the famous Swedish furniture company IKEA (IKEA).
The Poland-based Readymade Garment Company (LPP) centers its supply to closer and more stable centers such as Turkey.
Also, among the foreign companies are “Boehringer Ingelheim” and “DW Reusables” international, headquartered in Belgium.

He said, “The chemical industries that are involved in the automobile and construction industries are at the forefront of the sectors that will witness a turnout from Polish investors.”
“During the last stage, Turkey was able to develop the logistical infrastructure and open important railways.”
In addition to the above, the two countries, Turkey and Poland, are preparing to open a railway, which means providing more logistical support to companies operating in the two countries, according to Novakovsky.

Sharmat pointed out that the movement of investments in Turkey will witness positive developments during the next stage, and that these developments will reflect positively on the volume of foreign trade.
He drew attention to the fact that the problems that occurred in the global supply chain and container supply sector prompted foreign companies to look for alternative resources in nearby geographical areas.
In turn, Kadir Kurtulch, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Russian-Turkish Trade House, said that Turkey provides many economic advantages to investors.
Including geopolitical location, modern logistics infrastructure, and flexible incentive packages.
He stated that Turkey also provides a safe and independent location for the transfer of energy resources to European countries and that its geographical location positively affects the drop in the value of freight and therefore the cost value.
