Automotive August 2021

automotive sector was also adversely
affected. As of March 31, 2020, global
automotive industry almost came to a
standstill due to the fact that 80% of the
world’s supply chain volume was to and
from China.
The uncertainty of the first two months of
the pandemic all over the world caused our
company’s export sales to follow a negative
course during the first quarter of 2020.
Afterwards, things came back on track and
we managed to exceed our export figures
in previous years and finalized the year
with records.
Thanks to the fact that our technological
infrastructure is easily adjustable to
working online, we were able to adapt to
the process quickly. We were one of the
first companies that initiated home office
working. As Vector Otomotiv, we had the
chance to implement our clients’ demands
and expectations without any disruption,
as we believe permanence of business
processes was one of the main factors that
made the difference during pandemic.
That’s what we are proud of.
A lot of companies focused on
digitalization to meet with potential
buyers as fairs were canceled due to the
pandemic. How did you manage your
business during the pandemic? How and
how much did you get digitalized?
Vector Otomotiv has a proactive course
of action that closely keeps track of each
and every technological, scientific and
sociological development, thanks to
its innovative corporate structure. The
importance we attach to digitalization
dates back to the pre-pandemic period as
we are aware that over time, the global
demand for digitalization will be sectorbased.Thanks
to our profoundly-equipped
infrastructure and solid network, our
company had already been prepared for
crises like the pandemic. We were able
to follow all processes such as receiving
orders, tracking stocks, manufacturing
steps and shipment through our system
and make instant notifications to our
clients. In terms of digital transformation,
we acted in favor of our customers. As a
result, we received very positive feedback
in terms of customer satisfaction.
What have you been up to regarding
2021? Are you planning to take part in any
local or international fairs?
Our immediate plans are to grow, to
increase our turnover, to expand our
product range, to improve customer
services and to open up to new regional
markets. We are capable of delivering our
products to the address on the right date,
thanks to our fast and diversified shipping
options.
Another piece of our plan for 2021 is to pay
visits to our existing overseas customers
and to pursue potential customers
The logic of international trade justifies
that fairs are significant for businesspeople
to reach the right market, the right
customer and the right product. For this
reason, Vector Otomotiv pays attention to
being active parts of fair organizations. We
participated and are committed to further
participate in Automechanika that has been
held in many parts of the world so far. We
aim to take part in Aapex Fair, one of the
largest fair organizations, which will be held
in 2021 in LA, USA.
Have you got anything you’d like to
highlight in the news?
We are focused to exceed our sales in new
markets compared to the previous year, in
line with our targets this present year.
What makes Vector Otomotive stand out
is to be employing qualified personnel and
providing clients with quality and reliable
service. All those positive qualities enabled
us to get out of the pandemic crisis with
advantages, let alone suffer.
