TOWARDS REGIONAL LEADERSHIP

TURKEY IS GROWING VIA STABILITY, LOGISTICAL ADVANTAGES AND POTENTIAL AND A ON BOARD EQUIPMENT COMPANY IS EXPORTING TO 42 COUNTRIES. KATMERCİLER, BACKED BY TURKEY’S ECONOMIC POWER, IS MOVING CONFIDENTLY TOWARD REGIONAL LEADERSHIP.

 

2011 was a pretty bright year for heavy commercial vehicle sector. During January-December period the heavy commercial market in EU and EFTA countries increased 25 percent compared to the same period of the previous year. Furthermore in Turkey same market increased 44 percent and reached the level of 47 thousand vehicles.

 

Certainly these positive figures in heavy commercial vehicle market mean so much also for the development of on board equipment sector. Rapid growth performance both in Turkey and Europe creates important opportunities for Katmerciler, which makes production in a strategic position and therefore has logistical advantages.

 

In Middle East and North Africa the production level of heavy commercial vehicles is limited, hence Katmerciler is becoming a major force in the region. Also thanks to GimKat, established in 2011 in partnership with French Gimaex International, Katmerciler is now a much more important producer in the region and has come a long way towards becoming a regional power.

 

Katmerciler became a global brand due to ever growing export network. The last country which joined this network was Russia in 2011

 

Strong growth signals in on board equipment sector are not just specific to 2011. The positive momentum gained by Turkish economy in last 10 years not only revived private sector but also led a major increase in public spending. Thus Katmerciler, while making sales both through private and public sectors, got the wind of Turkey’s economy behind.

 

Katmerciler renders service to world brands like Volvo, Mercedes Benz, Ford, Renault, BMC, Isuzu, Hyundai, Scania, MAN, Iveco and Mitsubishi. The company, which is cooperating with these big producers, participates in various domestic and foreign tenders either indirectly as the equipment producer of truck producers or directly on its own by acquiring vehicles from producers. As the leader of on board equipment sector, Katmerciler is serving not only Turkey, but the whole region through partnerships with all these brands. These references make Katmerciler even more assertive in the world league.
