What is EuroTrans? Could you inform us about its importance within the sector and its work?
Founded 50 years in the past in France, the EuroTrans Federation today represents a sector price 40 billion with 600 energetic member firms and eight national associations. EuroTrans, the most important organization on the planet masking all manufacturers of the gearbox, bearing and energy transmission industry, brings collectively leading corporations on a world scale. EuroTrans, which has been working for 50 years with the imaginative and prescient of developing experience in gear manufacturing and energy transmission sector; we determine the standard standards for the sector, carry out researches, present trainings, perform lobbying actions on behalf of the sector and observe technological and economic values.
I am honored to be elected because the president of the federation in 2021 with the votes of the member companies after serving on the board of administrators for about 2 years and to represent Turkey on this organization as a member of the Machinery Manufacturers Association.
You have an energetic position within the trade on a worldwide scale. Can you consider the scenario of the power transmission sector in Turkey?
In addition to working in the power transmission sector for a couple of years, I can say that our business has a very dynamic construction in Turkey, as each the President of EuroTrans and a person who takes an lively role in the Machinery Manufacturers’ Association (MIB). However, despite this dynamic construction, I assume that we’ve an extended method to go so as to reach a competitive position on the planet as a sector.
As İ-Mak Gearbox, we’re 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 abroad, we see that the trade has developed, but there are deficiencies in standards and unity. As İ-MAK, we are carrying out studies that will result in these.
With the order provided by numerous organizations everywhere in the world, sector stakeholders create certain quality standards and added worth. There are many alternative leagues for corporations working in the power transmission sector in Turkey. As the business, we want to come together to set requirements and produce larger high quality and efficiency-oriented merchandise. It is very important for us to develop a culture of competition amongst manufacturers in Turkey by creating an understanding of effectivity and added worth when it comes to requirements and unity. Abandoning the competitors carried out by producing cheaper and similar products within the sector; It must be our priority to create an understanding of manufacturing in requirements that may increase effectivity and added value.
As an industry, our share of the world market has not yet reached the level we have to be. We have a major development potential in exports. We should not overlook that we’ve to characterize our nation as a union in the worldwide market on account of the value-added and standardized manufacturing method we are going to obtain within the country. For this cause, I care that more firms turn out to be members of national and worldwide establishments and I see it as a driving pressure for the development of our country.
