Private label<br />
factories prosper<br />
<strong>in</strong> <strong>Türkiye</strong><br />
In recent years, Turkish private-label<br />
factories have emerged as a significant<br />
players <strong>in</strong> the global manufactur<strong>in</strong>g<br />
<strong>in</strong>dustry. These factories, specializ<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong><br />
private label production, offer a range<br />
of advantages for bus<strong>in</strong>esses worldwide.<br />
From cost-effective production to highquality<br />
manufactur<strong>in</strong>g capabilities,<br />
<strong>Türkiye</strong> has become an attractive<br />
dest<strong>in</strong>ation for companies look<strong>in</strong>g to<br />
develop their brands.<br />
The Rise of Private Label Brands:<br />
Private-label brands have experienced<br />
significant growth <strong>in</strong> recent years.<br />
Companies are <strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>gly recogniz<strong>in</strong>g<br />
the value of develop<strong>in</strong>g their brands,<br />
allow<strong>in</strong>g them to differentiate<br />
themselves <strong>in</strong> the market and establish<br />
a loyal customer base. Private label<br />
products offer unique features,<br />
competitive pric<strong>in</strong>g, and exclusive<br />
brand<strong>in</strong>g, mak<strong>in</strong>g them an appeal<strong>in</strong>g<br />
choice for consumers.<br />
• <strong>Türkiye</strong>’s Manufactur<strong>in</strong>g Industry:<br />
<strong>Türkiye</strong> has a long-stand<strong>in</strong>g history of<br />
manufactur<strong>in</strong>g excellence. The country’s<br />
strategic location between Europe,<br />
Watsons Beauty and<br />
Personal Care Awards<br />
are 10 years old!<br />
Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World<br />
Bank <strong>in</strong> Wash<strong>in</strong>gton.<br />
Şimşek said part of the structural<br />
transformation of <strong>Türkiye</strong>’s economy goes<br />
along with a new <strong>in</strong>dustrial policy, which<br />
he said will be “pretty transparent and<br />
rules-based.”<br />
“We want to channel resources to more<br />
productive areas, to reduce our carbon<br />
footpr<strong>in</strong>t, to make the economy more<br />
competitive, but also to see how we can<br />
enhance growth potential to higher<br />
Asia, and the Middle East provides<br />
easy access to <strong>in</strong>ternational markets.<br />
Additionally, <strong>Türkiye</strong> boasts a skilled<br />
workforce, modern <strong>in</strong>frastructure, and<br />
a diverse range of <strong>in</strong>dustries, mak<strong>in</strong>g it<br />
an ideal dest<strong>in</strong>ation for manufactur<strong>in</strong>g<br />
operations.<br />
• Competitive Advantage of Turkish<br />
Private Label Factories: a. Cost-<br />
Effectiveness: One of the key advantages<br />
of Turkish private-label factories is their<br />
cost-effectiveness. Compared to many<br />
other manufactur<strong>in</strong>g hubs, <strong>Türkiye</strong><br />
offers competitive labor costs and<br />
affordable raw materials. Page 3<br />

green transition is not a choice, but a<br />
necessity.<br />
“When it comes to economic complexity,<br />
we know where we stand <strong>in</strong> the value<br />
cha<strong>in</strong>. We’re not where we would like to<br />
be, and that’s why the reform comes <strong>in</strong>.”<br />
In what could be a boost for manufactur<strong>in</strong>g<br />
and trade, he said, “<strong>Türkiye</strong> is one of<br />
the best candidates <strong>in</strong> terms of friendshor<strong>in</strong>g<br />

Data earlier this month showed annualized<br />
<strong>in</strong>flation climbed to 68.5% <strong>in</strong> March, yet<br />
Central Bank of the Republic of <strong>Türkiye</strong><br />
(CBRT) Governor Fatih Karahan said it is<br />
on track to reach the 36% target by the end<br />
of the year. Yet, he said markets believed<br />
the target would be achieved with a threemonth<br />
delay.<br />
The central bank has raised its key oneweek<br />
repo rate by 4,150 basis po<strong>in</strong>ts<br />
from 8.5% to 50% s<strong>in</strong>ce last June, ma<strong>in</strong>ly<br />
seek<strong>in</strong>g to ease demand, the ma<strong>in</strong> driver<br />
of <strong>in</strong>flation.<br />
After 500 basis po<strong>in</strong>t hike that stunned<br />
the markets, the bank cited a deteriorat<strong>in</strong>g<br />
outlook and pledged to tighten even<br />
further if it expects the price situation to<br />
worsen significantly.<br />
“We need to tighten the fiscal stance to<br />
provide more support to (the) central<br />
bank, to br<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>flation down at a time<br />
when <strong>in</strong>flation was de-anchored, where<br />
pric<strong>in</strong>g behaviors were pretty ... unruly,”<br />
Şimşek said.<br />
Inflation is expected to peak at around<br />
75% <strong>in</strong> the com<strong>in</strong>g months, accord<strong>in</strong>g to<br />
Karahan, before enter<strong>in</strong>g what officials<br />
expect to be a steep downward trend <strong>in</strong><br />
the second half of <strong>2024</strong>.<br />
The m<strong>in</strong>ister added that the sharp decl<strong>in</strong>e<br />
<strong>in</strong> the cost of <strong>in</strong>surance aga<strong>in</strong>st a sovereign<br />

Letter From<br />
The Editor<br />
Susta<strong>in</strong>able export-led<br />
growth and development<br />
As known, the Turkish economy has shown remarkable performance<br />
with its steady growth over the last decade. A sound macroeconomic<br />
strategy <strong>in</strong> comb<strong>in</strong>ation with prudent fiscal policies<br />
and major structural reforms <strong>in</strong> effect s<strong>in</strong>ce 2002 has <strong>in</strong>tegrated<br />
the Turkish economy <strong>in</strong>to the globalized world, while transform<strong>in</strong>g<br />
the country <strong>in</strong>to one of the major recipients of Foreign Direct<br />
Investments <strong>in</strong> its region.<br />
Key factors which attract foreign capital <strong>in</strong>flows to Turkey ma<strong>in</strong>ly<br />
<strong>in</strong>clude the market size, consumer composition, friendly <strong>in</strong>vestment<br />
legislation and bank<strong>in</strong>g system together with other attractiveness<br />
aris<strong>in</strong>g from highly skilled human resources <strong>in</strong> production<br />
and management, the unsaturated domestic market with high potential,<br />
easy access to neighbor<strong>in</strong>g (regional) emerg<strong>in</strong>g markets,<br />
and low labor cost.<br />
The Turkish economy deserves more than what the lead<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>ternational<br />
rat<strong>in</strong>g agencies tell the world. They have failed to assess<br />
the credibility of the Turkish economy. We are confident that the<br />
Turkish economy will not deviate from susta<strong>in</strong>able growth and development.<br />
Located at the <strong>in</strong>tersection of Europe, Asia, Russia and Africa, Turkey’s<br />
geographical location and high-tech <strong>in</strong>frastructure <strong>in</strong>vestments<br />
offer significant advantages <strong>in</strong> terms of the global manufactur<strong>in</strong>g<br />
market. Despite the geopolitical risks faced, our country<br />
cont<strong>in</strong>ues to be the production base of Europe and the world.<br />
It should be noted that exports and export-oriented policies <strong>in</strong><br />
particular are regarded as a growth stimulator by the Turkish<br />
government officials. As a matter of fact, open<strong>in</strong>g up a country’s<br />
market to the <strong>in</strong>ternational markets allows a country more efficient<br />
production and allocation of resources as the country can<br />
concentrate on the production of goods <strong>in</strong> which it has a comparative<br />
advantage based on its factor endowments.<br />
With <strong>in</strong>frastructure <strong>in</strong>vestments and the strength of its geographical<br />
location, Turkey cont<strong>in</strong>ues to be the lead<strong>in</strong>g production base<br />
<strong>in</strong> the world.<br />
As for Turkey’s exporters, they wish to relentlessly <strong>in</strong>vest, manufacture<br />
and export. They are particularly <strong>in</strong>volved <strong>in</strong> identify<strong>in</strong>g,<br />
evaluat<strong>in</strong>g and select<strong>in</strong>g target markets by try<strong>in</strong>g to answer global<br />
questions.<br />
We wish them success and lucrative trade.<br />
THOUGHT OF<br />
THE MONTH<br />
Always listen to experts!<br />
They’ll tell what can’t<br />
be done and why. Then<br />
do it!<br />
Logic is a systematic<br />
method of com<strong>in</strong>g to the<br />
wrong conclusion with<br />
confidence<br />
A new manager spends a week at his new office with the<br />
manager he is replac<strong>in</strong>g. On the last day the depart<strong>in</strong>g<br />
manager tells him, “I have left three numbered envelopes<br />
<strong>in</strong> the desk drawer. Open an envelope if you encounter a<br />
crisis you can’t solve.”<br />
Three months down the track there is a major drama,<br />
everyth<strong>in</strong>g goes wrong - the usual stuff - and the manager<br />
feels very threatened by it all. He remembers the part<strong>in</strong>g<br />
words of his predecessor and opens the first envelope. The<br />
message <strong>in</strong>side says “Blame your predecessor!” He does<br />
this and gets off the hook.<br />
About half a year later, the company is experienc<strong>in</strong>g a dip<br />
<strong>in</strong> sales, comb<strong>in</strong>ed with serious product problems. The<br />
manager quickly opens the second envelope. The message<br />
read, “Reorganize!” This he does, and the company<br />
quickly rebounds.<br />
Three months later, at his next crisis, he opens the<br />
third envelope. The message <strong>in</strong>side says “Prepare three<br />
envelopes”.<br />
A man goes <strong>in</strong>to a pet shop to buy a parrot. The shop<br />
owner po<strong>in</strong>ts to three identical look<strong>in</strong>g parrots on a perch<br />
and says, “the parrot on the left costs 500 dollars”.<br />
“Why does the parrot cost so much,” asks the man.<br />
The shop owner says, “well, the parrot knows how to use<br />
a computer”.<br />
The man then asks about the next parrot to be told that<br />
this one costs 1,000 dollars because it can do everyth<strong>in</strong>g<br />
the other parrot can do plus it knows how to use the UNIX<br />
operat<strong>in</strong>g system.<br />
Naturally, the <strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>gly startled man asks about the<br />
third parrot to be told that it costs 2,000 dollars. Needless<br />
to say this begs the question, “What can it do?”<br />

Private label factories prosper <strong>in</strong> <strong>Türkiye</strong><br />
Cont<strong>in</strong>ued From Page 1<br />
This enables bus<strong>in</strong>esses to produce highquality<br />
private-label products at lower costs, <strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>g<br />
profit marg<strong>in</strong>s and market competitiveness.<br />
b. Expertise and Flexibility: Turkish private label<br />
factories have a wealth of experience and expertise<br />
<strong>in</strong> various <strong>in</strong>dustries, such as textiles, apparel,<br />
electronics, and home goods. They possess the<br />
technical know-how and production capabilities to<br />

of different brands. Additionally, these factories are<br />
known for their flexibility <strong>in</strong> accommodat<strong>in</strong>g small<br />
to large production runs, cater<strong>in</strong>g to the needs of<br />
bus<strong>in</strong>esses of all sizes.<br />
c. Quality Standards and Certifications: Turkish<br />
private label factories place a strong emphasis on<br />
quality control and compliance with <strong>in</strong>ternational<br />
standards. Many factories are ISO-certified and have<br />
rigorous quality assurance processes <strong>in</strong> place. This<br />
commitment to quality ensures that private-label<br />
factories <strong>in</strong> <strong>Türkiye</strong> meet the highest standards,<br />
earn<strong>in</strong>g the trust of consumers and retailers alike.<br />
• Customization and Brand<strong>in</strong>g Opportunities:<br />
Turkish private-label factories offer customization and<br />
brand<strong>in</strong>g opportunities to bus<strong>in</strong>esses. Companies can<br />
work closely with these factories to develop unique<br />
product designs, packag<strong>in</strong>g, and brand<strong>in</strong>g that align<br />
with their target market. This level of customization<br />
enables bus<strong>in</strong>esses to produce differentiated products<br />
and build brand loyalty.<br />
• Access to Global Markets:<br />

private-label factories is the opportunity to access<br />
global markets. <strong>Türkiye</strong> has well-established trade<br />
relationships with various countries, mak<strong>in</strong>g it easier<br />

to <strong>in</strong>ternational markets. Additionally, Turkish<br />
manufacturers can produce goods that comply with<br />

their brands with cost-effectiveness, high-quality<br />
manufactur<strong>in</strong>g, and customization opportunities.<br />
With a strong emphasis on quality control, <strong>Türkiye</strong><br />
has become a trusted dest<strong>in</strong>ation for private label<br />
production across <strong>in</strong>dustries. As the demand for<br />
private-label products cont<strong>in</strong>ues to grow, private-label<br />
factories <strong>in</strong> <strong>Türkiye</strong> are well-positioned to meet the<br />
needs of bus<strong>in</strong>esses worldwide and contribute to the<br />

by Turkish technology startups, particularly <strong>in</strong><br />
next-generation mobility technologies – a crucial<br />
component of the green transformation.<br />

he said. «Investors expressed their desire to <strong>in</strong>crease<br />
their presence <strong>in</strong> our country.»<br />
He po<strong>in</strong>ted out that <strong>Türkiye</strong>›s approach serves as<br />
a global example of how public resources can be<br />

startups at a level rarely seen worldwide,» he said.<br />
«These <strong>in</strong>itiatives have already borne fruit, with<br />
technology startups <strong>in</strong> <strong>Türkiye</strong> receiv<strong>in</strong>g significantly<br />
larger <strong>in</strong>vestments compared to previous periods.<br />
From 2010 to 2020, the annual <strong>in</strong>vestment <strong>in</strong> Turkish<br />

Surreal stories on sk<strong>in</strong>: Interwiev<br />
with Burcu Genç a tattoo artist<br />
Burcu (@chandra.tattoo) works mostly <strong>in</strong> Istanbul and travels as much as she<br />
can. We sat down for a chat about her journey,her <strong>in</strong>spiration and tattoos.<br />
Can you tell us about yourself and what made you become a tattoo artist?<br />
I am Burcu Genç, Chandra Tattoo<br />
I was born <strong>in</strong> Istanbul <strong>in</strong> 1993 and have been a tattoo artist for 4 years. Draw<strong>in</strong>g,<br />
pa<strong>in</strong>t<strong>in</strong>g, tattoos have always been a part of my life. When I was a child, my grandfather’s<br />
oil pa<strong>in</strong>ts and my cous<strong>in</strong>’s clays were my favorite toys.<br />
I’ve always wanted art to be a part <strong>in</strong> my life and not just a hobby. I’ve been gett<strong>in</strong>g<br />
tattoos s<strong>in</strong>ce I was 17, but I never thought I could tattoo as well. I bought my first<br />
mach<strong>in</strong>e with the advice of an artist friend I went to get a tattoo and with the<br />
encouragement of my family. After that, I entered the tattoo world by work<strong>in</strong>g<br />
as a tattoo apprentice at the studio where I currently work <strong>in</strong> Istanbul. It was the<br />
best decision I made and I am sure that no other profession could have made me<br />
happier.<br />
How would you describe your style of tattoo<strong>in</strong>g? What made you choose that<br />
style?<br />
I work <strong>in</strong> the f<strong>in</strong>el<strong>in</strong>e style. I turn surreal pa<strong>in</strong>t<strong>in</strong>gs <strong>in</strong>to tattoo design with my own<br />
l<strong>in</strong>es and adapt them to the most aesthetic looks on the body.<br />
The most enjoyable part of work<strong>in</strong>g on surreal designs is that their mean<strong>in</strong>gs are<br />
completely open to personal <strong>in</strong>terpretation and <strong>in</strong>ternalization. In this way, I can<br />
personalize the pa<strong>in</strong>t<strong>in</strong>gs accord<strong>in</strong>g to the mean<strong>in</strong>gs and stories that people want<br />
to carry on their bodies and tattoo that memory <strong>in</strong>to their bodies with a surrealistic<br />
design. Although for someone else it may seem like just an umbrella hang<strong>in</strong>g<br />
to the cloud, the personal mean<strong>in</strong>g attached to it is what makes that tattoo, the<br />
design, an artwork and forever accessory.<br />
Do you tattoo only flash design or you do custom design as well?<br />
I work both actually. Im so greatful to the customers who accept my flash designs<br />
as tattoos. I almost always choose my tattoos from artists flashes as well. But i<br />
cant thank enough who trust me with custom designs. My clients share their very<br />
special memories, feel<strong>in</strong>gs with me and trust my visual taste to express it as tattoo.<br />
It’s <strong>in</strong>describably beautiful how this feels.<br />
What is the most important advice you can give someone for choos<strong>in</strong>g their<br />
tattoo artist and design?<br />
Tattoos are an art that you can use to express oneself without explanation. Many<br />
of my clients got their tattoos to remember a time or leave precious marks on their<br />
body. When you look at your tattoos you look back on yourself at that time of your<br />
life. Tattoos are not only a pattern that you carry on, but also the moment you will<br />
never forget. That’s why it’s very important to choose the artist whose style and<br />
tattoos you trust and love the most, who you th<strong>in</strong>k match your energy the most.
