Dynamism prevails as usual
The Turkish automotive industry, which was originally founded for
import-substitution strategy and focused on the domestic market for a long
period, transformed itself into a production base for a number of global brands.
Competitiveness at the domestic level has been replaced with competitiveness
on a global scale. In motor vehicles, a large number of the EU legislation was
adopted.
The Turkish automotive industry is one of the largest exporting and leading
investor industries of the Turkish economy. It is an economically strategic sector in
terms of its significant contribution to the national production and development,
direct and indirect employment and level of technology in Turkey.
Following the shift of the focus on customers, markets, products and competition
from the local level to the global level, Turkish automotive manufacturers and
suppliers position themselves globally rather than locally.
This transformation in the sector urges automotive suppliers to improve their
existing structures in line with the demands of global auto manufacturers.
Turkish producers of parts and components have attained high standards
reflected by large export volumes to the Western countries.
There are numerous producers of automotive components and services. More
than half of these manufacturers compete in international markets and set high
standards of export figures.
Turkish automotive supplier industry produces almost all types of parts,
components and spare parts such as engines and engine parts, power train
parts and components, brake and clutch parts and components, hydraulic and
pneumatic systems, suspension systems, security equipment, rubber and plastic
parts, chassis frames and parts, electrical equipment and parts, lighting systems,
accumulator batteries, seats etc.
We think that innovation and competitive power will always assume a key
position for the survival of the automotive spare parts industry.
As known, we convey the messages of the Turkish automotive and the related
industries by participating in a series of international fairs and exhibitions.
We wish lucrative trade for all participants around the globe.
