DRIVING FORCE OF INDUSTRY:
TURKISH MACHINERY SECTOR


In all countries, the machinery manufacturing industry has special importance during the process of industrialisation.With the rapid development of high added value which it has created, and with its contribution to other sectors, it has been the driving force of industrialisation in Turkey as well. As a result of this interaction, the machinery manufacturing industry has become more successful compared to the other manufacturing industries, and its exports have constantly been above the average of the export increase for Turkish industries overall. The value added of the portion of the Turkish Machinery Manufacturing Industry in the manafacturing industry is about 4,5%. The sector has also proven itself to be manufacturing the products with desired quality and delivering them right on time by keeping up the competitive prices. Those are the parametres the sector is preferred in  international markets. Turkish machinery exporters follow the European Union and international standards and norms, and the majority of them include the “CE Mark” on their products. The driving force of the industry is the rapid adaptation to manufacturing
standards which is one of the most important factors to compete in international markets. Turkish Machinery Industry  manufacturers placed themselves alongside with the techonological giants of world export.

THE VISION

  • To create an industry with high technological skills.
  • To be one of the first five machinery exporting countries of the world.
  • To reach 100 billion $ export figure in 2023.
  • To raise the share of machinery export to 20% of Turkey’s total export volume as in all of the developed countries.

The overwhelming majority of machinery manufacturers in Turkey are small or medium enterprises like many other countries. This makes possible a rapid and flexible adaptation to changing economic conditions and technological developments.

THE ADVANTAGES OF TURKISH MACHINERY SECTOR

  • High rate of domestic input,
  • Foreign market and customer satisfaction oriented,
  • Geographical proximity to strategic markets,
  • Relatively low cost of highly well-trained, skilled and young workforce,
  • Experience in design and engineering.

Those clarifies the reasons why Turkey is preferable for tailor made or turnkey projects.
