‘We Were Affected Less Than Europe’
Murat Moda, Marketing Manager of Erdem Tekstil whose booth we visited in yarn fair that was made synchronously with ITM Texpo Eurasia 2013 Fair, made important explanations about firm. Moda said that they make % 100 cotton yarn production. Also he said that prices are more expensive but American cotton has advantages in terms of quality and picking by stating that they purchase cotton from America. Moda; “The fact that American cotton has usage of machine in cotton picking and automation meets our expectations. We use this yarn because of the fact that our customers prefer yarn that has contamination guaranteed. This situation affects our prices but we make production without sacrificing quality with permanency and service opportunities. “said.
Moda who reminded that a major part of export is made to Europen countries; “Economic crisis in Europe affected our sales. But Turkey has advantages in this situation. Customers avoid purchasing productions that have large and long –term contract because purchasing power of regions that have crisis fell, so they prefer productions which are supplied fast and easily. So fortunes of Far East countries reduce. Customers prefer countries such as Turkey which produces more quality production and provides faster service. Consequently, we affected less from this crisis.” said about effects of economic crisis in these countries on sales.
