UMT Uluslararası Taşımacılık Anonim Şirketi (UMT International Transportation) is a premier Istanbul-based logistics provider that combines robust multimodal capabilities with a rigorous compliance framework to serve importers, exporters, and rapidly evolving e-commerce brands on a global scale. As a recognized member of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and an authorized Turkish Airlines agent, UMT leverages one of the industry’s most trusted airline networks to accelerate international shipments with reliability, speed, and security. This combination of airline affiliation and ECCD certification underscores UMT’s ability to manage complex cross-border flows, ensuring that consignments move smoothly from origin to destination while meeting both regulatory and carrier requirements. The company’s value proposition is built on a clear focus: delivering end-to-end solutions that cover every stage of the logistics chain, from express and courier services to micro-exports, enabling customers to reach global markets with confidence and control over costs and timelines.
UMT’s operations are anchored in a strong warehouse footprint in Istanbul, where modern facilities support receiving, storing, processing, sorting, barcoding, and temporary storage. This physical backbone is complemented by a suite of value-added services, including handling of customs clearance and both imports and exports across Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). By integrating storage with processing workflows, UMT can optimize inbound receipts, improve inventory accuracy, and accelerate order turnaround for customers who rely on rapid, accurate fulfillment. The company’s warehousing capabilities are designed to support various logistics needs—whether it’s standard distribution, e-commerce order fulfillment, or return logistics—allowing clients to scale operations in response to demand fluctuations and seasonal peaks.
From a service perspective, UMT offers comprehensive air, road, and sea freight solutions, aligning modal choices with customers’ cost, speed, and service requirements. The breadth of these offerings positions UMT as a true end-to-end partner for international freight forwarding, capable of coordinating complex multimodal movements that cross multiple borders and regulatory environments. In addition to traditional freight services, UMT has invested in e-commerce logistics capabilities that address the full e-commerce lifecycle—order fulfillment, inventory management, returns processing, and reverse logistics. This makes the company particularly attractive to merchants seeking to bridge Turkish operations with global marketplaces and consumer networks.
UMT’s experience spans over a decade, a period during which it has cultivated a broad and resilient service network. The emphasis on quality and reliability is reflected in its service design, which centers on consistent performance, transparent communication, and proactive problem-solving. The company’s client-facing approach is underpinned by clear operating procedures, compliance with international and local regulations, and a commitment to safeguarding cargo throughout its journey—from pickup at the supplier to final delivery at the customer’s door. This throughline—quality, network breadth, and customer-centric execution—positions UMT as a trusted partner for both traditional freight forwarding needs and the modern demands of cross-border e-commerce.
UMT’s capabilities extend to specialized segments such as hazardous materials and perishable goods, as indicated by the company’s service menu. The ability to handle delicate, time-sensitive, or regulated cargo expands UMT’s reach beyond standard commodities, enabling it to serve industries with stringent handling requirements. In addition, the company’s e-commerce logistics solutions—encompassing order fulfillment and returns management—address the needs of online sellers who require integrated warehousing, pick-and-pack operations, and streamlined reverse logistics to sustain a positive customer experience.
The company’s leadership and organizational structure support its mission to deliver flexible, scalable logistics solutions. With a primary contact operating at the head of operations, UMT demonstrates a clear governance framework designed to align strategic priorities with on-the-ground execution. This alignment is crucial when coordinating complex cross-border shipments, optimizing routes, and ensuring that all stakeholders—from suppliers to carriers to customers—remain informed throughout the shipment lifecycle.
