“Economic Life Is Seriously Limited”
Sharing his opinions on the COVID19 outbreak that caused a global crisis, Mayer & Cie Regional Sales Manager Stefan Bühler said, “We have benefited from the shorter supply chain demand triggered by the spread of the epidemic. This trend has since disappeared, of course. Infected people and their numbers are growing gradually both in Central Europe and in Turkey, public life and economic activities are seen restrictions and investment decisions are pulled out to the minimal level where immediate action is required for preparation. We hope that preventive measures involving the spread of Covid-19 are to be effective and we can return to normal working conditions in stages. We look forward to present customers with machinery portfolio when the crisis is over. ”
Furthermore, Buhler mentioned about seeming preference towards dual plate machinery in Turkey as their core principle and said the following, "Our machinery that are to be exhibited at the fair are subject to this preference.’’
