Uniting YILPORT's operational excellence with CoreX's global vision

YILPORT began its journey in 2004 to bring world-class terminal services to its home country, Türkiye. Founded by Chairman Robert Yüksel YILDIRIM, the success story started in Gebze and has since expanded to deliver a high standard of service worldwide. In August 2011, YILPORT Holding Inc. was established as a subsidiary of YILDIRIM Group, becoming the first terminal and port operator holding company in Türkiye.

Today, YILPORT Holding Inc. continues its rapid expansion under CoreX Holding, transitioning into CoreX Ports & Terminals while maintaining the YILPORT Holding brand. As part of this strategic shift, CoreX Ports & Terminals focuses on its core strengths and growth areas, operating across 6 regions in its global portfolio.

Today, CoreX Ports & Terminals operates a global network of 23 ports and terminals and 6 inland dry terminals across six strategic regions. This diversified footprint enables the company to connect key trade corridors, strengthen supply chains, and deliver integrated port and logistics solutions to customers around the world. Supported by a strong operational platform, strategic investments, and a commitment to excellence, CoreX Ports & Terminals continues to expand its global presence while creating long-term value for stakeholders.

With a vision to create world-class, multipurpose facilities on an international scale, CoreX Ports & Terminals has always been driven by its growth strategy to become a top 10 global container terminal operator by 2030, to revolutionize the industry and provide businesses with the highest quality of service. This ambition has been achieved years before 2030, elevating the company to the world's top 10 in less than 15 years.

CoreX Ports & Terminals' port interests are well-diversified, bringing a new perspective to investing in and operating ports worldwide.
