About Us

For over 18 years, Aras Kargos International has been connecting Turkish businesses to the global marketplace — and bringing the world to Turkey's doorstep.

Aras Kargos International was founded in 2006 in the heart of Istanbul by a team of logistics veterans who saw a clear gap in the market: Turkish exporters and importers deserved a freight partner that combined deep local knowledge with world-class global infrastructure.What began as a regional courier and customs clearance firm has grown into one of Turkey's most comprehensive international logistics providers. Today, we operate from our headquarters in Istanbul, with regional offices in Ankara, Izmir, and Mersin, and a global partner network spanning over 120 countries.Our journey has not been without challenges. Economic shifts, global disruptions, and a rapidly changing trade landscape have all tested us. But each challenge has made us sharper, more resilient, and more committed to our clients. We have moved mountains — and millions of tons of cargo — to earn the trust of over 5,000 businesses worldwide.Today, Aras Kargos International stands as a symbol of Turkish logistics excellence on the world stage.

Today, Smart Delivery Logistics employs over 800 logistics professionals globally, operates four US fulfillment centers totaling 865,000 square feet, and manages more than 2 million shipments annually across 80+ countries. We remain proudly privately held, customer-first, and headquartered in Chicago.
