Grevenmacher (Luxembourg) – The global logistics service provider Logwin has acquired all outstanding shares in the Logwin local Turkish company. Logwin previously held 75 percent of the shares with 20 percent being held by the former managing director, Ercan Ataman, and five percent by the Turkish company KITA logistics. Ercan Ataman and Emre Eldener left the management team by amicable agreement at the end of 2010. Sadik Baydere, who was appointed new Country Manager for Turkey on 1 November, has assumed responsibility for the management of the company, Logwin Solutions Lojistik Hizmetleri.
Strategy: Growth
Sadik Baydere sees enormous growth potential for Logwin in Turkey: “If you look at the economic situation in Europe, Turkey is currently one of the most powerful drivers of economic growth. Trade and manufacturing, which suffered the greatest losses in the economic crisis, are making up ground fast.” And there is another reason why Turkey is attractive to logistics service providers – as a hub and crossroads between Eastern Europe, the Black Sea, the Caspian Sea, the Near and Middle East and North Africa. “This offers huge potential for Logwin’s global logistics services in particular”, adds Baydere.
Sadik Baydere gained over 20 years of experience in IT before switching to the logistics industry. Prior to Logwin, Sadik Baydere worked for the company Barsan Global Logistics as Manager and Director for Business Development and Marketing in Europe, America, the Far East, Uzbekistan and Turkey. Before changing to logistics, Sadik Baydere’s main focus had been on business process reengineering (BPR) projects, for example in the fields of fashion and textiles, the automotive industry and fast moving consumer goods in Turkey and the UK.
