The devastating earthquake that struck Turkey on February 6 not only resulted in heavy casualties but also made the immediate need for supplies the first priority of humanitarian relief. While the media reported on the amount of supplies donated, Farglory Free Trade Zone, with its industrial capacity, quietly took relevant action to answer another important question: “How should the supplies be delivered to Turkey?”

We assure that your supply donations reach the destination safely

With 24-hour service and comprehensive land and air logistics integrated by top-notch customer service, Farglory Free Trade Zone became the most powerful supply distribution partner during the disaster relief period. To ensure that the supplies reached Turkey as quickly as possible, Farglory Free Trade Zone provided warehousing without charge for Turkish Airlines for delivery scheduling. Meanwhile, many of our colleagues voluntarily worked overtime to rapidly assist with customs clearance and export procedures for all the donated supplies. The first batch of relief supplies, weighing 5.6 tons, was loaded at about 7:00 p.m. on February 9 at the Farglory Free Trade Zone in Taoyuan and immediately sent to Turkey by air.

The lesser-known Free Trade Zone

Although it plays an important role in Taiwan’s export system, the Free Trade Zone is lesser-known. Simply put, under a highly collaborative global framework, if goods from other countries can be transshipped through Taiwan for assembly or for other value-added activities with a more flexible customs clearance and tax procedure, it can significantly boost domestic economic growth. The assistance in disaster relief enabled Farglory Free Trade Zone’s intelligent warehousing and logistics system to contribute to Taiwan’s economic growth, while also shouting to the world: “No matter what happens, I’m (Taiwan is) with you!”
