Canlar Mechatronics Has Left Its Mark on the Textile Sector with the Works It Has Done In Recent Years
Canlar Mechatronics, which is one of the leading companies in the next generation textile dyeing and finishing machines, has expanded its facility with recent advances, and in addition, continued its technological investments in full speed by extending its production line.
Canlar Mechatronics, one of the leading machinery manufacturers in the textile sector, took its well-deserved place among the companies that have the largest product portfolio of the sector with textile dyeing, bobbin dyeing, fiber dyeing, beam dyeing, stentering, leveling, free drying, and similar textile machinery productions. Moreover, the company, which has been continuously investing in the last 4 years and is in the R&D structuring process, has created a production area that performs world-class manufacturing with the completion of the 3rd stage in its investments. In addition to this, Canlar Mechatronics, incorporating one of the oldest companies of this industry, i.e. Italian Brazzoli, in 2018, was the first Turkish company to take a major step in the textile machinery sector in Turkey and worldwide by incorporating a European-origin company.
We made an interview with Fethi Özkök, General Manager of Canlar Mechatronics, which has made a name for itself with its successes, and talked about its activities and targets for 2020.
Can you please evaluate 2019 for Canlar Mechatronics? What were your innovations, breakthroughs and investments?
In the road that we started by aiming to be one of the leading companies in the global market of textile machinery industry as Canlar Mechatronics, we consider that we had a productive and successful year with our investments and R&D studies. In 2015, our company initiated a rapid investment and development process with new and dynamic organization. Our company, which has been in the continuous investment and R&D structuring in the last 4 years, has created a production area that manufactures products in world standards with the completion of the 3rd stage of the investments. In the production line, we increased our existing production capacity with the new automatic welding robots and the new laser cutting machines, hence, we received renewal, capacity enhancement, and new plant construction projects of the world’s leading dye houses domestically and internationally. In addition, we obtained our state-approved design center certificate and raised our R&D center to international standards.
Next-generation fabric dyeing machine ‘TECHsmart’, that we developed to reduce consumption of the costs of water, electricity, and steam, which are the items that increase the profitability of dye house enterprises in competitive market conditions, receives positive feedback for 4 years from domestic and global markets. In addition to profitability in energy consumption, our TECHsmart machines, which provide error-free products at once, have come to the forefront in every company where they are operated with their new design. This enabled 2019 to be a successful year for Canlar Mechatronics.
As a return on our efforts with investments and R&D design center studies, we put our signature under some major projects both in Turkey and worldwide. We incorporated one of the oldest companies in this industry, i.e. Italian Brazzoli fabric dyeing machinery company and its brand, in 2018. We are proud to be the first Turkish company to take a major step in the textile machinery sector in Turkey and worldwide by incorporating a European-origin company.
In this context, our brand increased in the global market as well as our domestic sales in 2019 as we took big projects in various countries by competing with our rivals in the international market.
What are your plans, innovations and targets for 2020?
Serving the largest manufacturers in Turkey and in the world, as Canlar Mechatronics, we will protect our vision to place among the top 3 brands in the world by our improvements on our mechatronics technology and branding our industry and we will continue to enhance our trained manpower. In this challenging but moving process ahead, for the efficiency and profitability of our valued friends and customers by evaluating the investment and markets well in line with our targets, we will be with them as project partners with our products and after-sales support.
Could you give us information about the countries you export to in 2019, your export rates and your current situation in the global market?
In 2019, we continued our sales mainly to ‘Asia-Pacific’ region. In these markets, our company continues to improve its success that it achieved in previous years. We continue to be one of the important players of the global market with our exports, which constitute 60% of our total turnover.
Which countries and markets will you target in exports for 2020?
In 2020, we would like to state that we will be on every continent as Canlar Mechatronics. For this reason, developing our markets will be among our priorities rather than newly targeted countries in exports.
Could you give us brief information about the technologies and innovations you will present at ITM 2020 Fair?
As Canlar Mechatronics, we are trying to improve our water consumption of less than 30 liters in the dark-color reactive dyeing in cotton fabrics in the machine that we have introduced to the market by pursuing our R & D and field researches. We will continue our efforts to increase the profitability of our customers with our machines, which are able to produce quality and error-free production without loop-backs in one go, which is as valuable as the importance of energy consumption. With these developments, we will be presenting our technologies and innovations at ITM 2020 Exhibition.
