“We Introduced Our Newest Products in the Denim Sector at IGM 2022”
Hüseyin Çetin, General Manager of Robotech
We interviewed with Hüseyin Çetin, General Manager of Robotech for Tekstil Teknoloji magazine.
What are your comments on the contributions of the IGM 2022 Exhibition to the sector?
After a long break, we was back at Tüyap for the IGM 2022 Exhibition. There was a long break in the exhibitions during the pandemic period. In this period, we focused on developing new products. We had the opportunity to introduce these innovations for the first time at the IGM 2022 Exhibition. For this reason, IGM 2022 is a very important exhibition for the sector. We participated in the Germany Exhibition not long ago. We felt the slowdown in the economy in Europe due to the pandemic. But since our country is in an important place worldwide in textiles, we felt the reflections of this at the IGM 2022 Exhibition.
What was your expectations from the IGM 2022 Exhibition?
We had high expectations from the exhibition. The good thing about this exhibition is that mostly local manufacturers take part as exhibitors. We, like all other exhibitors, prepared very well and took our place in the exhibition with our latest technologies. IGM undertakes an important mission with its visitor profile, product and exhibitor diversity.
Can you please tell us about the products you exhibited at IGM 2022?
As Robotech, we participated in the IGM 2022 Exhibition with our diverse product portfolio. Robotech is a well-known machine manufacturer in the trouser, suit and combed cotton sector. This year we also entered the denim sector. We are also exhibiting our products belonging to the whole denim band at IGM 2022. Also, at the exhibition we brought a technology to the exhibition that is above the Italian recognition and technology in the denim sector. I think we aim to reach an even more assertive position in the denim sector in 2023-2024.
How was 2022 for both the sector and your company?
Many sectors are experiencing recessions due to economic crises, wars and pandemic. However, as of 2022, very high investments have started to be made in terms of textile sector in our country. For our company, 2022 is a very good year. We did not interrupt our production in any way during the pandemic period. All our orders for the next for 4-5 months are full. I can even say that 2022 is the busiest period in my business life. We doubled our factory production capacity. We increased our employment by 20 percent this year. Especially for the last 5 years, we have been continuing our way in the world market without a foreign partner, with dealerships in 16 countries and our own office in 4 countries.
