Europe-first · Building materials · Furniture · Heavy-industry wedge

The export operating system for Turkish building materials, furniture & heavy industry — at surplus pricing.

Kacmazsa is not another directory. We close compliant cross-border wholesale orders for Turkish manufacturers — ceramics, marble, glass, cement, steel, furniture, kitchens and white goods — into European buyers. Surplus, cancelled-order excess, end-of-line and run-rate stock, all priced for clearance velocity. AI export agent, milestone escrow, and pre-shipment inspection are inside the workflow.

  • Surplus pricing on full categories — overrun, end-of-line and live production, all benchmarked against off-price velocity bands
  • Lot Passport with grade, defect taxonomy, photos, technical sheets and inspection evidence — built for heavy goods
  • 10/70/20 milestone escrow — released against passed inspection and shipment evidence, not promises
  • A.TR + EUR.1 documents drafted automatically; electronic A.TR with QR accepted EU-wide since 2024 — duty-free for industrial goods in free circulation

The opportunity

European buyers want Türkiye. Turkish factories need orders.

Türkiye is the EU's nearshoring backbone for heavy and bulky goods: the 5th-largest furniture exporter in the world, the 2nd-largest ceramic-tile exporter to Europe, the largest natural-stone exporter to the EU, a top-five steel and cement exporter, and home to Europe's biggest white-goods producers (Arçelik/Beko, Vestel). With construction softening at home and several factories running well below capacity, surplus and end-of-line inventory is sitting on pallets — and European buyers want that supply, in EUR, with documents that clear customs.

The wedge

Heavy goods, surplus pricing — that's the new playbook.

Big sectors only. Building materials (HS 25, 68, 69, 70), furniture (HS 94), iron & steel (HS 72, 73), and white goods / appliances (HS 84, 85). Whether the lot is overrun, end-of-line, cancelled-order, B-grade or run-rate factory inventory — every offer is benchmarked against surplus / off-price European velocity, not full-price catalogues. That is the Kacmazsa price.

Phase 1 · Live HS 68 · 69 · 70 · 25

Building materials

Ceramic tiles, sanitaryware, natural stone (marble, travertine, granite), flat & processed glass, cement, gypsum, insulation, paints & coatings, MDF, plywood, parquet, doors, profiles. Türkiye is the EU's #1 stone supplier and a top-three ceramic-tile source.

Phase 1 · Live HS 94 · Furniture

Furniture & kitchens

Living-room sets, bedroom sets, sofas, dining, office, outdoor, kitchen cabinets, mattresses, contract / hospitality furniture. Strong design value, full container loads, OEM-friendly. Surplus and end-of-collection lots from Inegöl, Kayseri, Bursa, Istanbul.

Phase 1 · Live HS 72 · 73 · 84 · 85

Steel, white goods & heavy industry

Rebar, coil, sheet, profiles, structural steel, fasteners; large & small home appliances, HVAC, water heaters, kitchen equipment, lighting. Producers like Arçelik/Beko, Vestel, İçdaş, Kardemir, Erdemir feed European retail and trade chains.

Why surplus pricing wins on heavy goods. Pallet space is expensive; warehouse rent in Europe is up sharply since 2022; full-price catalogues lose to fast, in-stock, container-ready Turkish lots benchmarked against off-price discount velocity. We avoid food, medical, defence, chemicals, branded fashion and complex electronics — too much regulation and IP risk for a verified deal desk. Apparel and home textiles remain available as a side-channel for buyers who already work with us, but they are no longer the wedge.
The product

An AI export agent, not a chat assistant.

A transaction copilot with hard gates. Each step has a software check or a human approval — the lot does not advance until the gate passes. This is what turns Turkish factory stock into a paid European order.

1

Inventory ingestion · Lot Passport

Import Excel/ERP files. Normalise SKU names, quantities, grade, defect taxonomy, technical specs (size, thickness, finish, R-value, EN / CE marks), carton counts, pallet dimensions, container fill, sample availability and reason for surplus. Output: a per-lot passport that buyers can underwrite — overrun, end-of-line, cancelled-order, B-grade or run-rate, declared honestly.

2

Multilingual RFQ handling

Translate inbound and outbound across EN, DE, FR, ES, AR, RU. Suggest answers, surface missing questions. Turkish SMEs lose leads at the language layer before pricing — we close that gap.

3

Quote builder with surplus-velocity floor

Auto-draft pro forma offers under EXW, FCA, FOB, DAP or DDP. Anchor pricing to off-price / clearance European benchmarks for the category, protect the supplier's floor, flag FX exposure, model EUR/USD against TRY settlement.

4

Compliance & document generation

Draft commercial invoices, packing lists, shipping instructions. Prompts for A.TR, EUR.1, origin statements, CE / EN declarations of performance for construction products, and the right MSDS / safety paperwork where applicable. Customs Union removes duties for industrial goods in free circulation; A.TR with QR accepted electronically EU-wide since July 2024.

5

Landed-cost & duty engine

Estimate duties, VAT, freight, insurance, customs clearing. Heavy-goods buyers want total landed cost, not factory price. The engine flags CBAM exposure where it actually applies — cement, steel and aluminium products are in scope from 1 January 2026 — and correctly returns "not in scope" for furniture, ceramics, glass and white goods, so we don't overbuild for the wrong regime.

6

Inspection & logistics orchestration

Auto-book pre-shipment inspection with SGS or QIMA before container loading. Compare freight quotes across road, short-sea and full-container ocean lanes; loading supervision for stone slabs, tiles, glass and FCL furniture. Track milestone events, collect document evidence. Trust becomes a process, not a promise.

7

Payout & claims workflow

Hold staged funds, release against milestones, attach inspection and shipment evidence to any dispute record. The supplier gets paid faster than open-account; the buyer gets stronger protection than ad hoc deposits — important when a single FCL of slabs or appliances can be €30k+ in value.

Trust, productised

Milestone escrow. No platform balance-sheet risk.

A staged-payment waterfall that is more conservative than open-account trade, easier than a bank letter of credit (which typically costs 0.75–1.5% of transaction value), and more predictable than ad hoc deposits — exactly what buyers want before paying for a 22-tonne load of tiles or a 40HC of sofas.

10%

Buyer reserve deposit

Locks the lot. Held by Kacmazsa's payments partner, not by the supplier. Refundable on supplier non-performance.

70%

Released after passed inspection

Pre-shipment inspection by SGS or QIMA — quantity, packing, marking, dimensional and finish checks, container loading supervision. Shipment documents uploaded — commercial invoice, packing list, A.TR/EUR.1, CE / DoP where applicable.

20%

Released after receipt

Or after a short claims window expires. Claims attach to the inspection and shipment record — not to a phone call.

Asset-light, by design. Kacmazsa does not own inventory, does not own credit, and does not carry claims risk. Suppliers settle in TRY; buyers pay in EUR or USD. FX, financing and inspection are partner-led — we build the software that closes the order, not a trading house.

Why now

Regionalisation, not reshoring — Türkiye is the EU's nearshoring hedge for heavy goods.

The 2025–2026 trade story is not a clean reshoring wave. It is regionalisation, diversification and selective friendshoring — and it weighs heaviest on bulky, freight-sensitive categories. In the European Commission's 2025 survey of firms adjusting to foreign-market tensions, 38% changed sourcing countries — rising to ~46% in industry. China's container freight to North Europe has stayed structurally elevated since 2022; Türkiye's 2–8 day road and short-sea reach plus its Customs Union with the EU (no duties on industrial goods in free circulation) make it the obvious nearshoring move for tiles, stone, glass, steel and furniture.

EU

Customs Union advantage

Duties and quantitative restrictions removed for industrial goods in free circulation. Electronic A.TR with QR accepted across all EU member states since July 2024. CBAM applies only to cement, iron & steel, aluminium, fertilisers, electricity and hydrogen — flagged by the engine when relevant.

Hard-currency invoicing

Buyers pay in EUR or USD; suppliers settle in TRY. Optional FX hedge through partners. Macro volatility absorbed by the model, not by the deal.

Workflow + Trust + Data moat

Over time, Kacmazsa learns which factories clear inspection, which defect types are acceptable per buyer segment, which lanes close fastest, which price bands convert. Hard to copy. Compounds.
