Turkey's rapidly developing transportation sector is a clear indication of its development in international trade. The country's new business generation stands for creativity and flexibility, thus able to cope with a constantly changing environment, and to generate new ideas. İMİ Group of Companies was first formed with the establishment of İMİ Shipping Services Inc. in 1994 by a group of young but experienced shipping professionals. In a very short period of time, the company effectively took its place within the sector and is now a well-respected partner in shipping on an international level with its container liner, agency, chartering and ship management divisions. In the following years, with the purpose of diversifying its activities within the transportation arena, a forwarding & logistics company İMİ Transportation Services Inc. has been established covering ocean freight, air freight and exhibition services. Today IMI, being a general agent of container liner and dry cargo vessels, is the business associate of those companies that can be reckoned among the biggest shipowners in the world. It is also rendering full services in the sector, all over the world, as part of an international network, IFLN. True to its core value of “continuous progress and productivity”, İMİ has committed itself to an ambitious agricultural project in recent years. Agro & Foods Projects Inc., has founded with the purpose of contributing to the development of modern farming with utmost respect for nature and human health. Today the farm has a breeding capacity of two hundred-meat cows, which is fully put to use. Additional species like dairy cattle, sheep and poultry also exist in limited quantities. In compliance with its commitment to continuous quality improvement and its strive to the achievement of the highest customer satisfaction, IMI's management system has been upgraded and now conforms with the Quality System Standard ISO 9002, in shipbrokering, ship supply and agency service, container liner agency and air cargo service, as issued and certified by Det Norske Veritas, in 1998. IMI is the member of worldwide organisations of the transportation sector, FIATA, BIMCO and IATA.
