Trade execution. Business development. Project delivery. Financial structuring. One mandate at a time, with a real face behind every deal.

Ferrous and non-ferrous flows between Turkish mills, Gulf yards, North African buyers and Central Asian producers. We structure against warehouse stock, tolling contracts and forward offtake.
Grains, pulses and refined sugar from Black Sea and CIS origins into MENA buyers, with in-country quality inspection and customs clearance on the arrival side.
Cement, clinker and finished construction inputs into fast-urbanising markets. Origination paired with shipping under CFR and CIF terms.
Resins, fertilisers and specialty chemicals — traded strictly within sanctions-compliant counterparties and with documented chain of custody.
Used and refurbished plant, spare parts and tooling — including expediting and inspection from European OEM sites to delivery in-region.
Bank-instrument workflows and settlement design that sit alongside the cargo — LCs, SBLCs, escrow and FX co-ordinated with the banks our counterparties already use.
Crude, refined products and LPG flows across EMEA and CIS corridors — traded with full chain-of-custody documentation and sanctions-compliant counterparty screening.
Procurement facilitation and trade structuring for dual-use and defense-related goods — handled exclusively with licensed counterparties and full end-user certificate compliance.
We open with Central Asia at breakfast, run mid-day with the Gulf and Europe, and close with the New York bell before dinner. One desk, no handoffs, no time lost to sleep cycles — Istanbul is the only seat where this geometry actually works.
Seckin International Trade & Consulting is an Istanbul-registered firm working across five interlocking disciplines: commodity trade, business consulting, project management, financial services and business development.
We keep the partnership small on purpose. A lean team, a shared file, and the discipline to say no to mandates outside our circle of competence. The upside: you always speak to a decision-maker, documentation turns within the business day, and nothing gets lost in translation.
Our clients include mid-sized producers, sovereign-linked buyers, family offices, and international principals looking for a discreet presence in Turkey, the Gulf and beyond.
