In addition to working within the energy transmission sector for a number of years, I can say that our industry has a really dynamic structure in Turkey, as each the President of EuroTrans and an individual who takes an energetic function in the Machinery Manufacturers’ Association (MIB). However, despite this dynamic construction, I assume that we’ve an extended method to go to be able to attain a aggressive position in the world as a sector.
As İ-Mak Gearbox, we are working for the development of the sector in Turkey with the duties we now have taken in each EuroTrans and MIB. As a results of our visits abroad, we see that the trade has developed, however there are deficiencies in standards and unity. As İ-MAK, we’re carrying out studies that may result in these.

Abandoning the competitors carried out by producing cheaper and similar merchandise within the sector; It ought to be our priority to create an understanding of manufacturing in standards that can improve effectivity and added worth.
As an business, our share of the world market has not yet reached the level we need to be. We have a significant growth potential in exports. ที่วัดแรงดันน้ำ mustn’t forget that we now have to symbolize our nation as a union in the international market because of the value-added and standardized production method we are going to achieve throughout the country. For this cause, I care that more corporations become members of national and worldwide institutions and I see it as a driving drive for the development of our country.
