TET Global Logistics is a success story founded in 2002 in the dynamic commercial hub of Istanbul, driven by the visionary leadership of Zuhal Ballıcalı and Emine Erdoğan. Since our inception, we have specialized in high-sensitivity operations such as chemical transport and gas logistics, aiming to carry Turkey’s logistics power to the world. Our deep industry experience is not merely a business model; it is the foundation of the trust we deliver across every single operation.
Today, with a massive fleet of over 300 company-owned vehicles and more than 700 advanced technology equipments, we provide a cross-border service network. Our expansion into European operations via Romania in the first quarter of 2024 demonstrates our commitment to becoming a global player. Regardless of the nature of your cargo, we enforce the highest safety standards on every shipment.
Our History and Growth Journey
When our journey began as a local transport company, we had a single focus: reliable service. While focusing on domestic transport operations during our early years, our founders' technical expertise in the chemical industry propelled us beyond standard logistics services. The precision required for transporting chemical products and liquefied gases became ingrained in our company’s DNA. This technical depth quickly established us as a sought-after brand in the industry.
Over time, we evolved from a simple carrier into a comprehensive solution partner. While expanding our fleet strategically each year, we also diversified our equipment portfolio. The addition of ancillary services such as tank container storage and cleaning enabled us to offer an end-to-end logistics ecosystem to our clients. Today, as one of Turkey's most established logistics enterprises, we also operate at the heart of Europe.
The Power of Women Entrepreneurship: Women Owned Company Certificate
TET Global Logistics is an exemplary model of what women entrepreneurship can achieve in a demanding sector like logistics. Our certification as a Women Owned Company is not merely a title; it reflects the precision in our management philosophy, our attention to detail, and our inclusive corporate culture. This certificate stands as one of the most critical accreditations validating the diligence embedded in our operational processes.
The multifaceted perspective brought by female leadership creates an advantage across every domain, from risk management to client relations. We believe in the power of diversity and equality within our organizational structure. This approach enables a more disciplined and auditable workflow, particularly in hazardous material transport where there is zero margin for error.

Operational Excellence with SQAS Certification
Regarded as the gold standard of chemical logistics, the SQAS (Safety & Quality Assessment for Sustainability) certificate is the most concrete indicator of TET Global Logistics' operational quality. This certification is more than a document; it proves our strict adherence to environmental, health, and safety standards during the transportation of chemicals, liquids, and gases. Successfully passing these assessments demonstrates that every vehicle and driver meets the highest industry standards.
We continuously audit our processes and update our risk assessments. Within the framework of SQAS standards, every phase—from tank container cleaning to hazardous materials training for drivers—is documented. This allows us to guarantee the sustainability and safety of the services we provide to our clients.
Responsible Care Certificate: A Responsible Logistics Approach
The Responsible Care certification is one of the most prestigious commitments of the global chemical industry. Through this certification, we do not simply transport cargo; we commit to protecting the environment, human health, and public safety. When conducting chemical and gas transport, we utilize the most advanced technologies to minimize potential risks. This commitment is reflected in every second of our operations.
Within our responsible logistics framework, we:
- Optimize routes to reduce carbon emissions.
- Operate on a zero-defect principle in waste management.
- Regularly simulate emergency response protocols.
- Perform periodic maintenance on our equipment to the highest standards.
Our Service Areas and Core Competencies

Our competencies extend beyond simple haulage to encompass the entire cycle, from safe storage to final delivery. Our expertise in hazardous materials and chemical logistics serves as the key differentiator separating us from competitors.

- Intermodal Transport: Efficient routing integrating sea, rail, and road networks.

Quality Management with ISO Standards
Quality is not an end result for us; it is a continuous process. By integrating ISO 9001 Quality Management System standards into all our business workflows, we aim to consistently exceed client expectations. Every department within the company operates according to predefined procedures and KPIs (Key Performance Indicators), ensuring consistency in service quality. The continuous improvement (Kaizen) philosophy sits at the core of our operations.
While applying ISO standards, we embrace digitalization as a core component. From vehicle tracking systems to cargo monitoring software, all workflows support data-driven decision-making. This enables us to provide real-time information to our clients and resolve potential disruptions preemptively.
Occupational Health and Safety: ISO 45001
The logistics industry inherently involves operational risks. In critical processes such as chemical and gas transport, occupational health and safety (OHS) is an absolute necessity. By applying ISO 45001 standards, we maintain the safety of our workforce and the surrounding environment at the highest level. Every field personnel undergoes comprehensive training on risk identification and hazard prevention.
We do not leave our safety culture on paper; we keep it active through constant inspections on the field, at the wheel, and across storage facilities. Every component of our equipment (tanks, valves, hoses) is rigorously inspected against even the slightest risk of leakage, recognizing that safe logistics is only achievable through a secure working environment.
