01 · Istanbul
The trusted intermediary between mill and buyer.
Karayel Kağıt is an independent paper trading and brokerage house based in Istanbul. We stand between mill and buyer in every grade of paper and board, and we finance mills through orders, receivables and raw material.
Scroll — let us take you to the mill.
02 · The mill
We stand on the mill's side.
The mills we work with produce in different regions of Türkiye. Sales, order scheduling and the payment calendar are coordinated from one desk, so the mill can focus on production rather than on selling.
03 · Machine hall
Financing that follows the rhythm of production.
Advance-payment orders, payment at shipment, or raw material offset against finished paper: the structure that fits the mill's cash flow is written into the contract. Financing is provided against goods; funds move through Turkish banks.
04 · Reels
Every grade, every format.
Containerboard, cartonboard, printing and writing papers, tissue, specialty papers, recovered paper and pulp. Reels, sheets or bales; the specification comes from the mill's own table, binding values from the certificate of analysis (CoA).
05 · The quay
Domestic, export, import.
Delivery within Türkiye; export to Europe, the UK, the Middle East and North Africa; raw-material imports for Turkish mills. Offer, contract, documents and collection followed by one counterpart.
What we do
Two jobs, one counterpart.
Trusted intermediation between mill and buyer, and trade-based financing for mills. In every grade of paper and board; offer, contract, shipment and collection handled from one desk.
Trusted intermediation
We match what the mill makes with the right buyer, and what the buyer needs with the right mill. Written specification, clean contract, documents and claims handling. Trading as principal, or brokerage on a commission written into the contract.
Financing for mills
Payment at order, payment at shipment with the credit risk transferred to us, raw material offset against finished paper, long-term offtake commitments. Against goods, written into the contract, through Turkish banks.
Every grade
From containerboard to tissue, from cartonboard to pulp. We do not sell a fixed list of grammages; we take enquiries for any grade a mill produces or a buyer is looking for.
Product range
Whatever the mill makes, whatever the buyer needs.
Every offer carries the mill's own specification table; binding values are in the shipment's certificate of analysis.

Not on the list?
We take enquiries for any grade a mill produces or a buyer is looking for. Send the grade and tonnage; we find the source.
For mills
We take on the selling and the cash flow.
The two most expensive things at a paper mill are receivables waiting to be paid and capacity standing idle. Four structures address both; which one fits is decided by the mill's production schedule and cash flow.
Advance-payment orders
On a contracted order, part of the value is paid before production and the balance at shipment. The mill buys fibre and energy with cash in hand and has already sold the run.
Payment at shipment
The mill sells to us and is paid at shipment or against documents. The credit-term sale to the buyer, and the collection risk, stay with us.
Raw material against finished paper
We supply recovered paper or pulp to the mill; the value is offset against deliveries of finished paper at the contract price.
Long-term offtake
Six-to-twelve-month purchase contracts with monthly tonnage and a price formula. A basis for the mill's capacity planning and for its own bank financing.
How we work
From enquiry to collection in four steps.
An intermediary is worth what it saves both sides. For buyers and for mills the process is the same four steps.
