The French logistics group CEVA is quietly tightening its grip on Eurasian trade routes.
The company confirmed on Tuesday it has completed the $383 million acquisition of Borusan Tedarik, a move that will strengthen its contract-logistics and e-commerce backbone in Türkiye and surrounding markets.
Borusan Tedarik, part of the Borusan Group, runs a dense network of warehouses and fulfillment sites serving automotive, electronics, and consumer-goods clients. By folding those assets into its own system, CEVA gains both strategic real estate and local know-how in a country that bridges Europe, the Middle East, and Central Asia.
“It’s not just about adding square meters,” a CEVA regional manager said after the announcement. “It’s about being closer to production and consumption zones at the same time.”
The deal comes as manufacturers shift assembly and distribution closer to Mediterranean hubs, turning Türkiye into one of the fastest-growing logistics markets outside the EU.
For CEVA, it’s also a way to feed its parent group — CMA CGM — with inland capacity connected to ports, free-zones, and intermodal corridors stretching from Istanbul to the Gulf.
Analysts see the buyout as a calculated play: consolidate before competitors can scale up.
The integration will unfold over the next 12 months, with CEVA planning to harmonize systems and link Borusan’s sites to its global visibility platform.
For clients shipping across three continents, the message is clear: one network, fewer handovers, faster flow.
