Globe Express Services Adds Corporate Location in Turkey
Addition of Istanbul office extends historic period of expansion

Charlotte, NC, October 17, 2006: Globe Express Services (GES) is proud to announce the opening of its new office in Istanbul, Turkey. Uniquely located in both Europe and Asia, Turkey has long served as the gateway from the Mediterranean to the Black Sea. Since 2002 , the nation has enjoyed an impressive period of economic revival, averaging over 5% in annual economic growth.

“Last year, the United States was among Turkey’s top trading partners,” said Tony Bikhazi, Globe’s President – North & South America, “and there is potential for still greater commercial relations between the two countries in years to come. Because so many of Turkey’s top export commodities – textiles, hosiery, tiles, footwear, furniture – belong to industries in which Globe Express has an established international base, the fit is natural.”
