International Sourcing & Procurement · Since 2006

About Derident

Local knowledge. International perspective.

Founded in Istanbul, Tuzla in 2006. Nearly two decades of international trade, industrial products and cross-border business development — and the technical background to understand what we are sourcing.

Our History

From leather chemicals to international sourcing.

Derident Deri Kimya Sağlık San. ve Tic. Ltd. Şti. was founded in 2006 to supply leather chemicals, leather products and machinery to the leather industry, and to provide the technical assistance that went with them.

The technical work led to relationships, and the relationships led further than leather. Manufacturers asked us to represent them abroad. Buyers abroad asked us to find them other things. Over nearly two decades the company became what it is now: an international sourcing and procurement business, still built on the same technical foundation.

We remain deliberately small. Our clients deal with the person who makes the decisions, and that is the point.
