You have an energetic role within the industry on a global scale. Can you evaluate the state of affairs of the ability transmission sector in Turkey?
In addition to working in the energy transmission sector for many years, I can say that our business has a really dynamic construction in Turkey, as each the President of EuroTrans and an individual who takes an lively position in the Machinery Manufacturers’ Association (MIB). However, regardless of this dynamic construction, I suppose that we now have a long approach to go to be able to reach a aggressive place on the planet as a sector.
As İ-Mak Gearbox, we are working for the development of the sector in Turkey with the duties we have taken in each EuroTrans and MIB. As a result of our visits overseas, we see that the trade has developed, however there are deficiencies in standards and unity. As İ-MAK, we’re finishing up studies that can result in these.
With the order supplied by numerous organizations everywhere in the world, sector stakeholders create certain quality standards and added value. There are many different leagues for companies operating within the energy transmission sector in Turkey. As the business, we have to come together to set standards and produce larger quality and efficiency-oriented products. It is very important for us to develop a culture of competition among brands in Turkey by creating an understanding of effectivity and added value when it comes to requirements and unity. Abandoning the competitors carried out by producing cheaper and similar products within the sector; It should be our precedence to create an understanding of production in standards that may increase efficiency and added value.
As an industry, our share of the world market has not yet reached the extent we need to be. We have a big progress potential in exports. We mustn’t forget that we have to represent our nation as a union within the international market as a end result of the value-added and standardized manufacturing method we will achieve within the country. For this reason, I care that extra companies turn into members of national and worldwide institutions and I see it as a driving drive for the event of our country.
