As last year, we have participated ITM Texpo Eurasia exhibition this year. ITM, which is the most equipped exhibition organized in Turkey, is organized professionally. If I have to say frankly, as we are present in several exhibitions globally, we have been pleased to take part at the most successful edition of the year. We were glad that all our demands were met. When we compare this edition with the one organized last year, I would like to state that the point reached must be appreciated.”

However, the most important issue is the steps taken in order to reduce energy costs. We continue to create difference in that sense, too. We increase the profitability rate of companies due to less energy use. On the other hand, problem-free use of the machine is among the most important issues contributing to the production process of companies. The fact that all settings of the machine are digital prevents the individual time and quality losses.”
