What is the most important point<br />

in competition about the brands in<br />

glue industry?<br />

The knowledgeable firms counts<br />

on the quality/price ratio, while<br />

other firms, acts on by focusing<br />

only on price. Prices are important<br />

but the quality and delivery<br />

time are important factors as<br />

well.<br />

Can the materials used in the<br />

production of glue be bought from<br />

domestic market?<br />

Unfortunately, out of tin and<br />

cardboard packaging materials<br />

all other inputs are imported from<br />

abroad. Even silicon papers used<br />

for hotmelt glues are imported.<br />

What is Turkey’s position in glues<br />

industry that supplies to mattress<br />

producers?<br />

I can say that Turkey is the leader<br />

in the export of solvent-based<br />

glues. Our position in hotmelt<br />

category can be seen as good.<br />

However, Europeans leading the<br />

market and are ahead of Turkish<br />

companies in water-based<br />

mattress glues because it is<br />

preferred the least.<br />

if the producer want to use glue<br />

without any investment, they<br />

prefer glues with solvents. They<br />

also want that the material<br />

should be odorless and solvent<br />

of the glue have to be discarded<br />

immediately and it should be<br />

strong, as well. Those companies<br />

who prefer hotmelt type of glues<br />

want that the material should<br />

be melted easily, should be<br />

odorless at higher temperature,<br />

should be striped from its package,<br />

should be rather cheap and<br />

it should function the best at the<br />

first contact.
