International Sales

While we place great importance on the domestic market, driven by the responsibility of producing Turkish furniture on Turkish soil, we also see it as our mission to present the value we create to the world under a Turkish brand. We consider export to be one of our most vital sources of success and continue to pursue international partnerships across various regions without slowing down. As a result of this philosophy and disciplined work, today we are proud to represent the YOL Living brand in more than 200 sales points across 65 countries. We place great importance on hosting our international partners — those who collaborate with us in foreign trade and represent the YOL Living brand in their local markets — at our production facilities. Through these visits, we ensure that they not only become familiar with the products in their stores but also gain a deep understanding of our full product range, our approach to quality, and our corporate culture. This not only strengthens our business relationships but also ensures that the YOL Living brand connects with end consumers around the world in a stronger and more meaningful way.

Ultimately, we see creating value for all stakeholders who make up the YOL Living brand as the most essential part of our work. We always prioritize motivation and personal development for our employees, a production approach that minimizes logistics costs for our stores, and the creation of high-quality, aesthetically pleasing products for our end consumers. Because we believe that being the “right company” is only possible by creating real value. As YOL Living, I would also like to emphasize that in the near future, our goal is not only to sell furniture, but to offer experience-driven concepts. The idea that a customer walking into a store can experience an inspiring living space — with its paint, artwork, carpet, and every detail thoughtfully curated — is something that truly excites us. After all, every design that touches people’s lives and emotions is always met with appreciation.

With this approach, every member of our 170-person team across all departments, from R&D to design, from production to procurement, generates solution-oriented ideas focused on export. One of the key factors behind our department’s success is this coordinated effort and strong team spirit. As one of the main dynamics of the modern world, the global economy offers countless opportunities to any initiative aiming to emerge from scratch in the trade ecosystem, while also harboring threats as unpredictable as they are significant.

Finding the right path on this journey filled with opportunities and threats is only possible through the right steps taken by businesses in their planning and action processes. When we set out in 2014 as three siblings and two seasoned partners, we meticulously planned every detail to ensure that YOL Living could successfully continue on this demanding journey. We placed total quality and customer satisfaction at the core of our business. Rather than being a company ruled by egos and complexity, we chose to be a leader-driven company where every task is entrusted to experts in their field. In other words, with us, it’s always the expert who speaks. We take pride in sharing our work while keeping alive the traditions of the Ahi order and the guild culture.
