New Bonded Warehouse, International Office Openings, Digitalization, and Tailored Transport Solutions Drive Continued Growth

Celebrating its 30th year in the logistics sector, Kıta Logistics has entered 2025 with a strong focus on investment. The company is accelerating its growth through the commissioning of a new bonded warehouse in Hadımköy (operational as of May), the opening of new offices in Ankara and Georgia, a comprehensive digital transformation project, and a business model centered on sustainability.

Having closed 2024 with a turnover exceeding €100 million, Kıta Logistics achieved a 40% growth compared to the previous year. Within the same year, the company successfully handled approximately 8,000 tons of air cargo, 45,000 TEUs in sea freight, and 20,000 domestic transport operations.

Operational Power Boosted by New Warehouse Investment

Kıta Logistics has started 2025 with the commissioning of a new 16,000 m² warehouse facility in Hadımköy. With this investment, the Ambarlı bonded warehouse area has expanded from 8,200 m² to 14,000 m², increasing the company’s total storage capacity to approximately 48,000 m². The new facility enhances both domestic and international logistics capabilities by offering flexible and accelerated services through its bonded and non-bonded capacity. Equipped with state-of-the-art infrastructure for occupational health, fire safety, and electrical security, the warehouse is expected to double its contribution to the company’s revenue compared to last year.
