Given in the statement issued by Gürcan Bakkalcı, the wordings were quoted as follows; “As Barok Tekstil, after carrying out our operations for approximately 14 years, executing as the Turkey Representative of SMIT Textile, due to my personal retirement request and subsequent to our recommendation regarding a new representative firm for SMIT, we have transferred our position as Turkey Representative to the company Mondiale. Being among the owners of Mondiale and successfully operating in the Turkish weaving sector for many years, Mr.Salim Karaca is also a prominent figure in Europe with respect to this field. I wish him and his team the best and hope that they carry out this endeavour with great success. Should the need arise during this transition period; we will continue to provide additional support to Mondiale and our customers. Due to the fact that via ongoing projects, we will be conducting our meetings and visits together with Mondiale for quite a while, no gap or space will be sensed by our customers. Our technical service crew is still within the structure of Haldun Engineering. In addition, spare part offerings and orders has also started to be provided via Mondiale. Shipments of all registered and valid spare part orders will be carried out without being suspended from Mondiale. Furthermore, the Turkey representation of Castello, which used to take place within the structure of our company, has also been transferred to Mondiale.”
