Mr. Hakan we already know that you’re quite introduced and known in the industry, however we’d like you to introduce your firm to the other companies which may not know you well enough.

Hello Mr. Altan; Our firm, under the name of PAN CHEMICALS S.p.A. is a production company; which was established in 1987, Rogno/Bergamo/Italy to supply the wire drawing lubricants and chemicals needs of World Wire Industry by experienced experts in the field. Accordance to our main factory; we have a second production factory in Tlalnepantla de Baz, Mexico named PAN CHEMICALS AMERICAS S.A. DE C.V., at the same time PAN CHEMICALS BOSPHORUS as depot-office in Istanbul; globally by the help of 10 distributors and 20 representative units we’re supplying our lubricants and chemicals all over the world.

By 2019 the number of countries we supply has passed more than 100. Our search for new markets is still going on according to our targets and feasibility research.

By the means of quality, all our products are EU (CE) quality, with ISO 9001:2008, ISO 18001 ve ISO 14001 certificates respectively. With uncompromising quality goods; we’re following the principle of being the one and only supplyer. My introduction to PAN CHEMICALS S.p.A. is longing back to 2011. After 2 years as sales engineer, I’m now the Turkey Country Manager for 7 years.

I’m primarily responsible for all the products PAN CHEMICALS S.p.A Italy is producing, supplying/will supply, import & export activities, sales phase, usage techniques and most important of all after-sales support. By all these responsibilities, never compromising from our total quality principle according to just in time(jit) principle; in the name of my firm PAN CHEMICALS BOSPHORUS; i’d like to share with Turkish Iron-Steel Wire Industry that we are aiming to give the best service and support to the firms we are and will collaborating.

Mr. Hakan, PAN CHEMICALS BOSPHORUS is often known by Turkish Industry and Business environment but also by Turkish Wire Industry as an importer; however we learned as you mentioned that we’re going to see PAN CHEMICALS BOSPHORUS also in export era, could you please elaborate?

Yes, as you pointed by 2019 we passed to phase of exporting; contributing in a more different standard to positive for Turkish economy after this first export we were awarded with a plaque by; TİM – Turkish Exporters’ Assembly; İKMİB – Istanbul Chemicals and Chemical Products Exporters. We proudly took our award in İKMİB Export Complex. So by your magazine Cable Wire World we’d like to announce Turkish Wire Industry that we will be acceleratingly increase our export operations to add extra values to Turkish Economy.

Mr. Hakan, as CABE WIRE WORLD (KABLO TEL DÜNYASI) we also congratulate you and wish continuity to your success. Now if we may pass to the statistics part, We’d like you to talk about Turkey’s Chemical Export. How would you see Turkey’s chemicals export in the near future?

Firstly, by a deductive method; if we check Turkey’s yearly export reports, in 2019 number has reached 180 Billion Dollars with a raise of %2. This is a substantial value for country economy. Approximately 12% of this export is directly or indirectly related to Chemical Product export so, with a simple calculation 22 Billion of this amount is chemicals export. We’re too proud to be one of the firms attached to İKMİB – Istanbul Chemicals and Chemical Products Exporters Association. The mission we’re subjected by the Turkish Exporters Assembly is to raise the Chemicals Industry’s ratio by 3 point to 15%. We’d like to point that we’re determined and eager to put all the effort by the new markets to raise our export numbers this year, to add extra values to Turkey’s export numbers.

Therefore we completely believe that main export items; agriculture (botanical products, animal products and forest products), industry (processed agricultural products, chemical matters and products, industrial products) and mining compounds will show all effort to uplift country export. As a result of the case we mentioned country economy will uplift and meet the expectations quantitywise.

Mr. Hakan, thank you for your sincere answers and we wish the continiuty of your success. By the way if there is anything you’d like to add?

I also thank you for this interview opportunity in the name of PAN CHEMICALS S.p.A. and PAN CHEMICALS BOSPHORUS. By your magazine we wish fantastic tonnages of production to all the world economy gears, and healthy and peaceful days.
