Discover how a Turkish plastics manufacturer reduced costs by 22% through importing HDPE from Iran. Real-world case study by PetroExportHub.

 The Challenge: Rising Polymer Prices in Turkey

In early 2024, a mid-sized plastic packaging manufacturer based in Gaziantep, Turkey, faced rising prices for High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) sourced from Gulf and European traders. The prices had surged over $1,300/MT, tightening margins and threatening contracts with FMCG clients.

The company needed a cost-effective, reliable, and consistent source of HDPE — without compromising on quality.

 The Discovery: Exploring Iran as a Supplier

Through an industry contact, the procurement manager learned about PetroExportHub, a platform that connects global buyers with verified Iranian petrochemical producers.

Key points that attracted them:

• Direct access to Iranian HDPE producers

• Significant price advantage

• Flexible packaging (25kg bags, jumbo bags)

• End-to-end export support from Iran to Mersin Port

• Free sample and COA available

 The Product: HDPE Blow Molding Grade (BM5010)**

PetroExportHub proposed HDPE BM5010, suitable for blow-molded containers, drums, and bottles. The product met the same specs as the Turkish company’s previous Gulf supplier — but at a much lower cost.

 Specification Highlights:

• Melt Flow Index (190°C/2.16kg): 0.25 g/10min

• Density: 0.950 g/cm³

• Packaging: 25kg PE bags

• Origin: Amir Kabir Petrochemical, Iran

 The Cost Advantage: 22% Savings

Total Savings: $290/MT → 22.3%
 For 3 containers (81 MT): Over $23,000 saved on the first shipment

 The Process: Smooth & Secure

1. Proforma Invoice & Product Sample shared

2. QC & COA Approved by Turkish buyer

3. Payment via T/T to Dubai-based channel

4. Shipping from Bandar Imam Khomeini → Mersin, 8 days transit

5. Customs clearance handled with full export documents (COO, B/L, Invoice, COA)

 The Outcome: Cost Reduction & Long-Term Contract

After successful delivery and internal quality testing, the Turkish importer:

• Signed a 6-month supply agreement for HDPE

• Reduced overall procurement costs by ~20%

• Became less dependent on volatile Gulf prices

They now source additional products like LDPE and LLDPE through PetroExportHub.
