Dear Business Executive,

I'm very pleased to welcome you to the Aegean Free Zone Website. We've tried hard to provide you with a clear, yet concise picture of our Zone and the many business advantages we offer to international manufacturers and traders.

Although we live in a very complex world-one that is continuously in flux, our goals remain constant: (1) to significantly reduce the risk inherent in selecting a new expansion site; and (2) once you're here, to provide the most cost efficient, supportive and worry-free environment possible.

Turkey is a young, dynamic, forward-thinking country, with a population of almost 70 million people. It is the strategic gateway to the European Union and the entire Eurasian region. Our Zone is the "home away from home" for some of the world's most successful companies (like Hugo Boss, Delphi Packard, Eldor Electronics, PFW and many more). Last year, our user companies generated more than 4 billion USD in international trade.

The ESBAS staff and I take great pride in having the most modern, cost-conscious and congenial Zone in all of Turkey; and one of the premiere Industrial Parks in the entire world. We're ready to answer all your questions as you go about the difficult task of site selection. And I especially look forward to being your host, when you are ready to visit us in person. The welcome mat is always out.
