Core Service

Polymer Raw Materials Supply

Supplying standard and technical polymer raw materials for production processes is TIST International's core service. Our focus is right product-right time matching. Rather than a single source, we leverage global producers to identify the best option suited to your needs.

Since market conditions are variable, we evaluate not just current pricing but the risk profile of future periods. Each purchasing decision is thus built on a conscious balance between short-term cost and long-term supply security.

Product Categories

  • Polyolefins: PE (HDPE, LDPE, LLDPE), PP (Homo, Copolymer, Random)
  • Vinyl and Elastomers: PVC (Suspension, Emulsion), EVA
  • Engineering Plastics: PA, PC, PBT, POM, ABS, PMMA
  • Additives and Masterbatch: Color, UV, antistatic, flame retardant

Inventory & Procurement Timing

Balancing production continuity with minimizing inventory carrying costs is the essence of procurement strategy. Our goal is not to eliminate inventory but to reduce unnecessary carrying costs.

In seasonal purchasing plans, delivery time and inventory level are evaluated together. The financial impact of each purchasing decision is made visible. This allows the procurement department to base decisions on concrete data.

Our Method

  • Seasonal purchasing planning and calendar development
  • Evaluation of delivery time analysis with inventory level together
  • Financial impact calculation and cash flow modeling
  • Optimal order quantity and frequency recommendation

Standard Approach

  • Emergency orders when inventory runs out
  • Price-focused decisions
  • Unpredicted cost increases

TIST Approach

  • Plan-based inventory management
  • Risk + cost + time balance
  • Controlled and traceable process

Alternative & Substitute Product Development

When facing supply disruptions, logistics challenges, or changing market conditions, we deliver quick and effective solutions. Through specification-based product matching, we respond to low-volume urgent requests and evaluate temporary or permanent substitute scenarios.

Each substitute product is recommended with technical suitability and cost analysis. We evaluate not just the product specification but also processing behavior and final product performance.

Work Areas

  • Specification-based product matching and technical comparison
  • Quick sourcing for low-volume urgent requests
  • Temporary substitute scenarios, solution without production stoppage
  • Permanent substitute strategy and cost optimization
  • Trial production support and performance tracking

Export Consultancy

When Turkey-based manufacturers want to bring their products to international markets, we provide consultancy from a product-market fit and supply chain perspective. Target market expectations, raw material suitability, and supply/logistics risks are evaluated together.

This is not sales intermediation. It is strategic work done to properly position the product before market entry. Market technical expectations, certification requirements, and competitive dynamics are put on the table.

Evaluation Areas

  • Target market expectations and technical standards
  • Product-market fit and positioning analysis
  • Raw material suitability and certification requirements
  • Supply chain risks and logistics planning

Agricultural & Industrial Film Supply

In agricultural and industrial film product supply, we work with a focus on application suitability and continuity. Greenhouse films, agricultural mulches, industrial packaging films, and technical film solutions are within our scope.

Our focus is as much on the product's suitability for the environment and processing as on the specification. Climate conditions, UV resistance, mechanical strength, and processing parameters are evaluated together.

Product Areas

  • Greenhouse covers and agricultural mulch films
  • Industrial stretch and shrink packaging films
  • Technical and functional films (barrier, anti-fog, UV)
  • Product matching for special application requirements
