Turkey is the Shining Star of the World Trade

Considering the exhibition that will be held after a break of three years, Zekeriya Aytemur, general manager of Tarsus Turkey, said, “Located at the center of a wide commerce network, including the Balkans, Caucasus, Middle East and North Africa, Turkey is still the shining star of the world, trade thanks to its geographical location, logistics, quality production potential and cost advantage. The exhibition, which will be organized for the 17th time in Istanbul, is also the center of the elevator industry.” Aytemur also underlined that Asansör Istanbul will offer export opportunities and purchase requests to its exhibitors.

One Out Of Five Professionals from Abroad

Zekeriya Aytemur stated that Turkish Elevator and Escalator Industry, which has an average annual volume of US$1-1.5 billion, set its course abroad in order to get ahead of the game within the reshaping supply chain. He added that the support of the Ministry of Commerce Procurement Committee and the Overseas Buyer program will accelerate the export activities of the industry. Aytemur gave information about the Overseas Buyer program and said, “At the latest exhibition held in 2019, we hosted thousands of visitors, mainly from Iran, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Lebanon, Egypt, Jordan, Russia, Ukraine, Morocco and Italy. The Overseas Buyer program will be implemented for 2022 Asansör Istanbul, with a 20% rate of foreign visitors. With the help of this program, we will invite big buyers of the elevator and escalator industry and help them meet directly with the exhibitors.  By this means, we promote increasing the number of our international buyers and the trade volume of the exhibition.”
