I am honored to be elected as the president of the federation in 2021 with the votes of the member corporations after serving on the board of directors for about 2 years and to characterize Turkey in this organization as a member of the Machinery Manufacturers Association.
You have an active position in the industry on a global scale. Can you consider the scenario of the facility transmission sector in Turkey?
In addition to working within the power transmission sector for a couple of years, I can say that our trade has a very dynamic structure in Turkey, as both the President of EuroTrans and a person who takes an energetic role in the Machinery Manufacturers’ Association (MIB). However, despite this dynamic construction, I suppose that we’ve a long method to go so as to reach a competitive position on the earth as a sector.
As İ-Mak Gearbox, we are working for the event of the sector in Turkey with the duties we’ve taken in both EuroTrans and MIB. As a result of our visits abroad, we see that the industry has developed, however there are deficiencies in requirements and unity. As İ-MAK, we are finishing up research that can lead to these.
With the order offered by varied organizations all over the world, sector stakeholders create sure high quality requirements and added worth. There are many different leagues for firms working in the power transmission sector in Turkey. As the business, we want to come together to set standards and produce greater quality and efficiency-oriented products. It is essential for us to develop a tradition of competitors among brands in Turkey by creating an understanding of effectivity and added worth by means of standards and unity. Abandoning the competitors carried out by producing cheaper and equivalent merchandise in the sector; It should be our precedence to create an understanding of manufacturing in standards that can enhance effectivity and added value.
As an trade, our share of the world market has not yet reached the level we have to be. We have a significant development potential in exports. We mustn’t forget that we have to characterize our country as a union within the worldwide market as a outcome of the value-added and standardized production strategy we’ll achieve within the nation. For this reason, I care that extra firms turn into members of national and worldwide institutions and I see it as a driving drive for the event of our country.
