Hakan Tanrıöven, Sales Manager of Robatech
which manufacture hotmelt and
solvent adhesives in Turkey.
Besides, importing companies are
also very active in the market. All
companies are in an effort to offer
the most advantageous services.
We, as Robotech, never direct
our customers on usage of adhesive
in their machines. The main
features of adhesives are clear
and our machines are produced to
serve this end. We expect that the
customers should prefer the best
supplier for them. There are some
companies which tend the customers
to certain adhesive suppliers
or to certain machinery brands.
We observe them with regret and
we warn our customers against
this situation.
What is the situation of Turkey in
the mattress adhesive sector?
As a person experiencing the
sector for many years I can say
that our country needs high added
value in this industry as is the
case for all industries. Many domestic
companies have recorded
great successes in recent times in
production and sales especially
in the adhesives industry. Many
international importing companies,
on the other hand, made
company acquisitions in order
to increase their market shares
in recent years. There are many
multi-national companies realizing
production on the one hand, there
are some local ones which are
close to finish their factory investments
on the other. This shows us
that the mattress industry is one
of the most important markets for
the adhesive suppliers. For this
reason the companies are trying
to do their best to be more active
in this market.
We, as Robotech family, are striding
to help the mattress manufacturers
to make their production
faster at lower costs.
Anything you would like to add?
I wish Sleep Well Expo yields very
good and lucrative results for all
exhibitors and visitors.
