Textile Industry Is Indispensable
Türkün said, “The treatment plant we built here was built with the most up-to-date technology in the world. It is positioned as the Turkey's best and the most comprehensive facility. We have 70 business partners within TOSAB. Installment of factories in order will follow. Here, we aim to be an industrial zone that consumes water resources at the lowest level. Hopefully, our plain will also breathe more. We lodged a request to expand the borders of our region. A region to our north is again envisioned as an expansion area. Of course, textiles is the most important export item of our country after automotive. Especially Bursa's oldest production branch, the oldest export branch. Therefore, textile is indispensable. It is a sector that provides employment to all folks either young or old, or either women or men as well. In other words, the industry has a very large income. We would like to thank our Bursa Governor, Bursa Metropolitan Municipality Mayor, Industry and Technology Provincial Director for their continuous support during this process. May it be beneficial to Bursa and to our country, our first factory, the foundation of which was laid.”
