Turkey Home Textile Industrialists’ and Businessmen’s Association (TETSİAD) President Hasan Hüseyin Bayram and association board members visited Denizli Chamber of Commerce (DTO) President Ugur Erdoğan. Erdoğan said that they made important contributions for the textile sector as Denizli Chamber of Commerce; “We are realizing the 5 million euro technical textile project ‘Technical Textile Transformation Project in Denizli’ soon”. Erdoğan announced that for the first time in the history of Denizli, they took the association members to the German Heimtextil fair in Frankfurt on a technical study business trip with the support of KOSGEB.
Technical textiles will grow rapidly with the technical textile project
Indicating that the textile and apparel industry first comes to mind when one thinks about Denizli, Erdoğan emphasized that they, as DTO, approach themselves differently to this industry. Reminding that they started the Technical Textile Transformation project in Denizli, which is supported by 5 million Euro grant from European Union funds, Erdoğan said: “In terms of grant amount, our project is a first in Denizli history. Our centre, where we set up a 1000 square meter closed area in our Denizli Organized Industrial Zone, will be the first in terms of content and operation. Willing entrepreneurs will be able to work in this centre and produce samples for innovative products. Parts of products such as planes, helicopters, drones, yachts, cars, skis and guitars will be available to manufacture”.
In 2018, ‘Technical Textiles Transformation Roadmap Workshop in Denizli’ was organized by DTO. Within the scope of this project, which continues with the support of the EU and the State, a modern machine park will be created in a closed area of one thousand square meters in the OIZ, where the focus will be on advanced technology production. In addition to technical textiles, this centre will also include applications for functional fabric manufacturing and plasma technologies.
Chamber Members taken to Heimtextil fair
DTO President Uğur Erdoğan stated that the fairs came in first place among their biggest activities. Noting that KOSGEB is their biggest supporter in this regard, Erdoğan said; “With the support of our state and the contribution of our chamber, we took our members to the German Technical Review and Business Trip for the first time in Denizli to see the Heimtextil fair in Frankfurt. We have similar supports in other sectors. Our goal is to increase the business of our members and contribute more to our country’s economy”.
“As TETSİAD, we have received great support from the state”
TETSİAD President Hasan Hüseyin Bayram congratulated DTO President Uğur Erdoğan for his contribution to the sector. Stating that they participated in the Heimtextil fair as an association, Bayram continued his words as follows; “We have received great support from our state here. It is very important for you to create fair organizations and projects for the textile industry. I congratulate you for your contributions and efforts to our industry. I also thank you for hosting us”.
