“The New Era Makes Türkiye More Advantageous”
Sabri İlknur, noting that 2026 was a challenging year due to the war and tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, said that regional conflicts and uncertainties have highlighted Türkiye as a safe haven, staying away from conflicts. İlknur continued: “Investments that had shifted to other countries due to rising costs in recent years have begun to turn back to Türkiye. Just as in tourism, Türkiye is once again seen as the most reliable partner in industrial investments, especially in textiles; orders are returning to our country. Since we are seeing the first steps of this, we predict that our textile sector will revive in a short time. As Asteks, we will continue to offer the best products in the fastest and safest way to prepare our supply partners for this process.”
Highlighting Asteks’ increased success in its target export markets, Sabri İlknur noted that the proportion of foreign sales in total turnover has risen, and they are reaching more markets and a wider variety of textile manufacturers. İlknur concluded his remarks as follows: “Asteks, whose entire team, from production to sales and marketing, from management to local dealers, works with dedication to become a global brand, proudly carries the ‘Made in Türkiye’ label to all corners of the world. We are growing stronger and reaching deeper into the markets of the Middle East and America, especially in the Turkic Republics and Asian markets. Our customers have great confidence in Asteks products, which are manufactured with the best materials and expert engineering. This trust, provided by our unwavering commitment to quality, offers us new opportunities. In this context, ITM 2026 will become an important platform where we meet with global and local markets.”
