In the textile industry the calendar decides: seasonal goods that miss the sales launch lose margin – fabrics that arrive at the maker too late shift whole collections. Speed Logistics drives for textile manufacturers, fashion brands, wholesalers and makers: fabric rolls and yarns, ready-made goods in boxes, home textiles and hanging goods. As a direct transport without transhipment, with 24/7 dispatch and a fixed-price quote within a few hours.
A focus is on the Türkiye lane: Türkiye is one of the most important sourcing markets for textiles to Europe – and as a non-EU lane including customs clearance it is part of our core business.
Scope of service for textile manufacturers and fashion companies
- Raw goods and intermediate products: fabric rolls, yarns, trims for the maker
- Finished goods in boxes on pallets – from the part-load express to the full truckload
- Hanging goods (GOH): transports with rail or hanging equipment, so ready-made goods arrive crease-free
- Seasonal and capsule collections with a fixed delivery date for the sales launch
Depending on the quantity we dispatch from the van for urgent part loads to the 40 t articulated truck for the full truckload – always as an exclusive journey without third-party co-loading.
Türkiye and other non-EU services including customs
For imports from Türkiye we organise collection at the maker – such as in the Istanbul, Bursa or Izmir area – and drive straight to the recipient in Germany or Europe. We handle the customs clearance in full: A.TR movement certificate for goods in the customs union, origin evidence, transit procedure and import clearance, from EXW to DDP depending on the delivery term. We also cover lanes to North Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia – for textile exports as well as for return runs.
The advantage of the direct transport shows particularly clearly on the Türkiye lane: no transhipments at border warehouses, no waiting times for groupage departures, a fixed schedule from loading to the ramp. For production chains with contract making – fabric there, finished goods back – we time outbound and return runs to each other, so that capacity and dates stay plannable across the whole chain.
Speed: express replenishment instead of a missed season
When a bestseller sells out or a production finishes later than planned, every day of shelf presence counts. Our express direct runs significantly shorten the replenishment time compared with groupage: a van or curtainsider truck loads at the manufacturer and drives through without hub stops to the warehouse or distribution centre. By GPS tracking you know at any time where the goods are and can precisely time goods inwards and onward distribution.
Goods protection and security
Textiles are sensitive to moisture, dirt and odours. We provide clean, dry and odour-neutral load spaces, secure boxed goods tip-stable and drive hanging ready-made goods with suitable hanging equipment. We also cover sample collections and returns: samples for sales appointments or photo productions run as an overnight van express, return runs we bundle on the return leg of existing services. Branded goods with a high goods value we transport in locked or sealed bodies with GPS tracking; the handover is documented against signature.
Whether a weekly regular service from Türkiye, express replenishment for the sales launch or a one-off collection relocation: you receive a non-binding fixed-price quote from us including customs clearance usually within a few hours – and a dispatch team that is reachable on Saturday evening too, when the goods have to be on the shelf on Monday.
