Factory Visit (SS-VISIT, €490) covers one physical site, up to four on-site hours, local travel within our core area (Maltepe, Kartal, Pendik, Tuzla, Gebze, Çayırova, Darıca) and an English photo report. A second physical address counts as a second site even if owned by the same group.
Technical Factory Review (SS-TECH, €790) adds deeper architectural/technical preparation for one building-product family: review of up to 10 drawings and 50 document pages prior to attendance, up to six on-site hours and scope-linked observations.
Accompanied Factory Day (SS-ESCORT, €690) supports a buyer visiting Türkiye in person across up to two prearranged factories on one core-area route (up to six total on-site hours within an eight-hour window), including structured meeting notes.
Depending on your brief and confirmed access, the visit covers relevant production lines, visible machinery, raw-material storage, section geometry, coating/finishing stages, quality records made available on site, packing methods and traceability.
Capacity claims are recorded alongside what was actually running and accessible during attendance. Where formal laboratory testing, EN/ISO system certification or structural engineering sign-off is required, we identify that need separately.
Inspect the structure of a SerSourcing report—including the editable template and three fictional training examples separating observations from statements.
Understand how a disciplined factory visit report separates direct observations, reviewed documents, supplier statements and unverified open items.
Prepare a productive 4-hour or 6-hour Turkish factory visit with four readiness checklists and a minute-by-minute on-site agenda.
Remote desk review of one Turkish legal entity and up to 5 documents (max 25 pages) to surface inconsistencies and open questions before deposits.
Yes, provided the supplier confirms appointment access. Pre-contract visits are one of the most effective ways to clarify real production capability before paying a deposit.
That depends on the plant’s production schedule on the agreed date. If observing a specific roll-forming, pressing or coating line in operation is essential, tell us up front so we raise it when confirming the appointment.
No. SS-VISIT and SS-TECH are scoped commercial and technical purchasing reviews. Where your project requires an accredited third-party audit or laboratory test, we can coordinate an appropriate body under a separate quotation.
Gebze, Çayırova and Darıca are inside our standard €490 core area. Plants in Bursa, Sakarya or other provinces include an explicit return-travel line (€35/hr + €0.45/km car or agreed fixed travel total) confirmed before booking.
Once the representative has departed for a confirmed appointment or access is refused on arrival, the field-service fee is 100% payable and we deliver a formal written record of the attempted attendance and circumstances.
SS-ESCORT covers up to 2 prearranged core-area factories within an 8-hour window (max 6 on-site hours) and meeting notes. Airport transfers, hotels and a standalone technical inspection report are quoted separately if requested.
