Our marble companies operating in Afyonkarahisar Province and our District generally use İzmir Port to export to many countries such as China, USA and EU. These companies, which are located in our district and Organized Industrial Zone, usually have some problems due to the legislation because they carry these products to the port by road. Also;

Marble blocks operating in İscehisar District and İscehisar Marble Specialized Organized Industrial Zone are located in Denizli, Burdur, Bilecik, Antalya, Bursa, Muğla, Isparta, Kütahya, Eskişehir, Emirdağ and Şuhut. Since the marble block is not divided into two for transportation purposes due to its physical structure, the companies have problems in adapting their products to ports and factories and making them suitable for road transport standards. As a result of this problem, the penalties they face and customer losses affect the competitiveness of our companies negatively. In order to overcome the negativities, directing our companies to rail transport will contribute to increase their competitiveness.

Marble companies operating in Iscehisar District and Iscehisar Marble Specialized OSB with high potential of loading. they will also be free of criminal proceedings due to transport standards.
