The word «Turkey» is usually reminiscent of beautiful beach resorts and not of printing companies. Very few people know that in addition to its beautiful beaches, Turkey also offers a large printing market.

It is precisely for this reason that employees of Daetwyler SwissTec travelled to Turkey in August 2017. The objective was to discuss the setting up a subsidiary. Several meetings and countless signatures later, nothing stood in the way of this project.

At the beginning of 2018, the first own subsidiary was established under the company name Daetwyler SwissTec Emtia Ticaret A.Ş. in Turkey. The city of Izmir was selected for the subsidiary, which is located approximately 400 km southwest of Istanbul on the Turkish west coast. The subsidiary strives to sell not only its own products but also those of our Rotoflex subsidiary. Third party products are additionally sold, i.e. Zecher Rasterwalzen, Schmid Ryhner Paints and Innova Tapes are included in the portfolio.

This site is managed by Rober Hayim. Some of you will be familiar with this name as he already worked for MDC Max Daetwyler AG in previous years. He receives administrative support by Özge Kamaya and sales support by Çağlar Üstüner.

We are convinced that Turkey is a significant location and this country offers great potential. In addition, we have a competent team on site, who knows how to master future challenges.

The «Print4All» was initiated by the association of the organizers of the former three small trade fairs Converflex, In-Printing and Grafitalia. The goal was to counteract the negative trend in visitor numbers by merging. The numbers speak for the decision: over 150,000 visitors from 87 different countries took part in this year‘s Print4All.

We were also allowed to be present together with our sales partner Neografa at a booth. The participation enabled us to maintain important existing customer contacts and establish new contacts with potential customers. The organizers, the exhibitors and visitors can look forward to the positive response.
