What textile machinery does your company manufacture?

We are into manufacturing of machines for processing of fabrics like dyeing, washing, etc. Our machines use very less water for dyeing of fabrics, consume less electricity, and are high on efficiency.

Are your technologies Industry 4.0 compliant?

All our machines are fully automated and can be accessed and controlled through a mobile phone.

How does Turkey fare in textile technology compared to other countries?

Our technology is comparable with those produced in Germany, but our prices are lower. Our quality is better than those produced in China, but prices are nearly the same.

Which countries do you export to?

We export to Russia, Uzbekistan, Egypt and Syria. We want to export to other countries too, and are looking for agents there.

How did 2017 fare for your company?

The previous year was good for us, but it could have been better if not for the political situation and war in neighbouring Syria.

Please share your plans for 2018.

We are in the process of testing advanced and new technologies, and will launch them once those have been fully tested. We are planning to start exporting to Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and South America.
