Gebze is a city that includes not only the leading industrialists of Turkey but also of all the globe thanks to the Industrial Zones established within (TAYSAD, KOSGEB, GOSB, Dilovası Industrial Zone, Güzeller Industrial Zone etc.). Moreover to such a characteristic of the zone, it is an adjacent neighbour of İstanbul and accordingly a region where the industrialists from İstanbul  perform intense investments by transferring their factories to the region due to environmental legal requirements.  

As known, since Haydarpaşa Customs Directorate will cease operation in a close future, many shipping agents performing container transportation  (MSC, Maersk, CMA, Belstar, Arkas etc.) have made agreements with private ports operating in Gebze region (Evyap, Yılport, Poliport etc.).
