Mestan Yorulmaz

Mert founded his independent cold chain consultancy after 12 years at TCDD Cargo and Nestlé Turkey. He specializes in perishable goods transport, particularly pharmaceuticals and fresh produce. He developed a temperature-monitoring protocol adopted by three major Turkish hospitals and trained 50+ drivers on GDP compliance. He holds a PhD in Supply Chain Management from Middle East Technical University. He writes because he sees too many Turkish exporters lose batches due to poor cold chain visibility. His focus is on IoT sensor integration and backup power solutions for refrigerated containers. He draws from managing vaccine shipments during the pandemic and optimizing routes for Gaziantep's food exporters.
