Mathieu Friedberg, CEO of CEVA Logistics, stated: "As one of the world's top 5 logistics players, we have identified Türkiye as one of our strategic markets where we are targeting significant growth. Complementing our existing presence in Türkiye with Borusan Tedarik's well-respected expert staff and operations will allow us to deliver higher value to our combined customer portfolio and, as a result, grow faster organically in the market. As CEVA, we aim to achieve faster growth capacity by becoming bigger, smarter and stronger."
“A strong indication of the trust in Türkiye”
Erkan Kafadar, CEO of Borusan Holding, emphasized that the sales process shows the trust in Türkiye:
"We have initiated the transfer process of Borusan Tedarik, one of our investments that adds value to our country and the sector, to CEVA Logistics, a group providing global and integrated logistics services. It is a great pride for us that our company, which we established 52 years ago to meet the logistics needs of our Holding, has transformed into a player that will take place in the global arena. We see this process as a strong indicator of trust in Türkiye beyond a company transfer. As Borusan Holding, which carries out its activities with a dynamic portfolio strategy, we will continue our contribution to the economic and social development of our country with new investments."
