Doyen of textile sector, Mennan Aksoy whose participation was forbidden for many industrial fairs in Europe and USA due to his ability to manufacture the machines after he view the machines maximum 10 minutes, lost his life at the hospital that he was treated. Thanks to Mennan Usta who is the nightmare of European firms as he manufactured equivalent quality spinning machines, at the prices of these machines which were sold with very expensive prices in the past, about 50% fall was experienced.
Mennan Usta who worked at any stage of his industrialism that he started as an apprentice when he was 13, began to make production at limited conditions in a tiny workshop by founding Ozcelik firm with his partner in the beginning of 1970s. Mennan Usta who turned into a technology master known and trusted by sector within years, his life changed by setting off with the opinion of producing a machine which was native with all of its parts.
Mennan Usta who took support from government to manufacture spinning machines in Turkey followed yarn technology developments by observing it closely with travels in overseas and Istanbul. Process which started with determining the dimensions of the machine, continued with ready parts and the materials they manufactured themselves. In spite of the troubles they met, Mennan Usta created the prototype of the machine by overcoming them with some helps and practical applications, started his tests without manufacturing the second machine to specify yarn quality and production capacity although the machine couldn’t take confirmation from the university board. After these 6 months tests, Mennan Usta caught the production data he aimed.
While carrying out machine production within 1.5 years, board gave the machine the thumps up and the production of second machine was started. Team which realized about 600 tons of sample carpet yarn and sold this yarn to the market, discoursed more on the second one for speed and design. Machine production process that was completed in 1.5 years, reduced to 20 days with knowledge and practice. And as a result, after all troubles and retentions he had, he achieved to manufacture less cost and more economical machine.
In memory of Mennan Usta who set a target himself to manufacture machine in Turkey and sale it with the most reasonable price
Rest in peace
