At the huge "MANUFACTURING SITE" in Istanbul, DERIS seized 7 trucks containing over 350,000 products

DERIS brand enforcement team achieved a significant milestone with the successful seizure of over 350,000 counterfeit pairs of sneakers, semi-finished goods, and production materials during a crucial raid operation on a significant manufacturing site in Istanbul.

In a proactive move against a manufacturer engaged in counterfeiting activities targeting one of its esteemed clients- a renowned sneaker and sportswear company- DERIS brand enforcement team took a swift and efficient action.

Key highlights of the raid operation include:

· The coordinated effort involved 10 police officers collaborating closely with DERIS team. The operation was strategically conducted on a site known for housing numerous counterfeit manufacturers.

· The raid resulted in the seizure of a substantial quantity of infringing products bearing the client's trademark. This included 7 trucks counterfeits containing 11,614 pairs of sneakers, 341,440 labels and 368 sole materials.

The success of this operation goes beyond the sheer volume of counterfeit goods seized. By targeting a production facility and warehouse that is the source of supply for many retailers in the market, it represents a significant blow to an extensive supply network operating within the footwear sector. By disrupting this network, our team has sent a strong message to potential infringers, effectively deterring them from further exploitation of the client's brands.
