My Dear Connections;
It has been one year since our company was established. On this anniversary, I would like to share our performance findings over the year ;
Our goal for the first year in the industrial product supply line of our business was to be able to gain a place in the market on our own behalf without any corporate support behind us. It was very important for us to be invited to tenders, to expand our customer network, to be on the same table with well-established manufacturers and agents as competitor and present our brand. In this process, we have received many requests from customers who need only few products to domestic and international mega projects. We have had the opportunity to work for with well-known local and international customers, the most prominent Holdings and Energy Companies for international and local natural gas transmission lines, city natural gas distribution lines, natural gas storage projects, nuclear- geothermal-thermal-cogeneration power plants, port investments, petrochemical plants, airport investments, boiler and pressure vessel manufacturers. We have conducted marketing researches on behalf of our investors provided consultancy on where and how to find correct product in the market. We have carried out global procurement studies for industrial products other than pipes that are difficult to supply. In the same time, learned about the products that we have just met and tried to improve ourselves and customers. In response to these demands, we have met with domestic and international reliable supplier and manufacturer friends and made special cooperation agreements. With the help of these representations; we became a bridge between our valued suppliers and customers to increase their business; while conducting supply researches for our associates; in return we have carried out market and business development activities for our manufacturers/suppliers. We didn’t work with suppliers alone during this process; also established solid business relationships with well-established trader companies, convinced them to participate tenders which were normally not in their specialty but in our area of expertise, benefited from their financial strength and experience.
At the end of the day, it has been a great happiness and responsibility for us to be at the center of these connections based on trust. At the end of such a year it has been very valuable for us that we have pipes, stainless, special alloy created demand for 500 thousand tons of welded/seamless pipes, casing, tubing, capillary pipes, fittings, tunnel drilling equipment, flat steel …etc. with hundreds of proposals given and projects followed. Opening up new markets; getting requests and being invited to tenders were signs that we have achieved our first-year goal without embarrassing our collaborative partners and esteemed customers for whom we have established this system. Due to economic uncertainty environment in our country and the world, despite the many demands on the agenda, although there are few investments that have reached the purchase stage, some of the various sales have been compensated for the efforts made. In the coming period, our main goals are to increase the number of requests which will be realized as sales, reach out new markets and customers, conduct correct supply arrangements for projects and make the life of our esteemed customer seasierin the supply of industrial equipment.
It is also foreseen that more business will be developed in parallel with the markets to be opened in the field of Energy Efficiency Consultancy, which is the other most important activity of our company. Together with our experienced academicians; it will be our biggest priority to give consultancy to reduce energy losses in our customers’ processes, increase efficiency, reduce cost by creating additional energy sources in the process, reduce carbon footprint with environmentally friendly solutions, ensure sustainability, get ready for carbon regulation at the border for specific sectors.
We thank to our valuable friends who are main actors of trade on both sides for the trust they have shown. We hope to develop our business together by adhering to the principles of mutual open communication and business ethics.
Best Regards,
Barış ÖZCAN
