Business in Bursa
Silk once brought merchants to the Koza Han, and textiles remain a major trade, now mostly technical fabrics, home textiles and towels. Cars are the bigger business today: Tofaş, the Koç–Stellantis venture, and Oyak Renault build vehicles here, and hundreds of component makers in the organized industrial zones, along with a large Bosch plant, supply them and European carmakers through Gemlik port.
Where software helps: Auto-component suppliers must meet OEM delivery schedules, PPAP and lot traceability, shipping just in time to Tofaş and Renault lines with an e-İrsaliye waybill for every truck.
