Our goal for 2019 is to increase this
ratio to 50%. We are rather strong
in Asia Pacific and CIS countries.
Our most important goal in 2019 is
utilizing wholesale opportunities in
Europe. We had serious initiatives
in this respect as of the beginning
of 2018 and we started to get results
as of the first quarter of 2019. We
Esra Batkın, General Manager
will gain acceleration in this channel
around midyear 2019. In addition,
the markets in US, China and Africa
are of primary importance for us. We
have an existing organization in the
US and it is growing stronger. We
expect our sales in Chinese market

result of our certificate investments

have big projects if Africa. Although
it is a difficult market in terms of
operations, it has a huge potential.
