With its roots firmly planted in Antakya and over three decades of industry expertise, YAR-ZEM Automotive has established itself as a trusted international wholesaler, supplying high-quality spare parts for leading commercial vehicle brands across Asia and Africa. My name is Sabah Kapı, born on January 1, 1970, in the Samandağ district of Hatay, Turkey. I currently reside in Antakya with my spouse and three children.
My professional journey in the automotive spare parts sector began in 1994. In 2008, I founded YAR-ZEM Automotive Ltd. Co., headquartered in Antakya, Hatay. Since its inception, YAR-ZEM has specialized in the wholesale supply and distribution of spare parts for renowned commercial vehicle brands, particularly IVECO and Mercedes-Benz. Driven by a commitment to quality, reliability, and customer satisfaction, YAR-ZEM continues to expand its footprint in international markets, delivering exceptional service and genuine parts to clients around the world. Thanks to our industry experience, in 2010 our company expanded its product range by including parts for DAF, Volvo, Renault Trucks, Ford, and Scania vehicles, marking a significant transformation in our service portfolio.
At YAR-ZEM Automotive, our primary goal is to meet our customers’ needs through our extensive product range and to deliver high-quality, high-standard products in the most efficient and flawless way — always mindful of the value of time. As we move forward with determination toward our goals, we have extended our customer base beyond national borders. Today, we export to countries across Asia and Africa, including Lebanon, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Qatar, Nigeria, Sudan, Iran, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Ukraine, Azerbaijan, and Congo, further strengthening our position as a wholesaler in international markets.
Together with our employees and solution partners, we continuously improve our processes to provide competitive, innovative, and worldclass services. Participating in international trade fairs is one of our key motivations, helping us enhance our corporate value and contribute to the development of the industry. For us, business is not merely a process—it is a journey of generating value. In every step we take, we strive to make a difference and build long-term value for our customers. Our commitment to sustainability enables us to take actions with a vision that embraces not only today but also the future.
