How did you decide to start this business? First of all, i would like to learn about your work and plans in machine production.

In this industry, we have a story that has been going on for 30 years. I planned my education and business life according to this sector. This business is a family business for us. Therefore, we have great responsibilities. Ever since i was a kid, i always wanted to be in this business. Therefore, i worked with the masters in many departments related to machine production. In order to be more successful in this sector, i graduated from the Department of Electrical and Electronics.

I gained experience in both software and R&D departments. I pioneered the application of many innovative ideas to our machines. I am currently in marketing activities in the sales department. In addition, i continue to work as a Board Member of our company.

Could you please give information about your production capacity and product range? Also, i would like to know your usage areas.

We are currently able to prepare a newly established mattress facility on turnkey basis in about 1 month with our new investments. We have tripled our capacity in the last year with the new investments we have made. Our target capacity will be much higher with our future investments.
