Dear customers, shareholders, business partners, and employees,

We are going through challenging times in Türkiye’s business environment. While costs continue to rise each day, the requirements needed for the manufacturing industry to survive seem to move further away from reach. We know that one of the most important sectors that can contribute to the development and prosperity of our country is the manufacturing industry. Therefore, the values inherited from our history, which brought us to where we are today, will continue to guide future generations. With the strength we draw from our past and the legacy of following technology, we continue our efforts to become both a country and a company—Tufekci Machinery—that can compete globally and deliver technology to the world.

Just as our past has shaped us, there will always be new opportunities ahead of us that we will embrace together in every moment.

When we examine the development of the Textile Sector in Türkiye, we see that it has increasingly incorporated technology and innovation.

On the other hand, when we look at the global development of the Textile Sector, we continue to align ourselves with international standards and progress.

We recognize the necessity of structuring every product leaving our factory to meet competitive conditions and integrate technology. Together with our employees—who have walked this path with us for many years—we focus on developing products and technologies. With colleagues who bring new perspectives to our processes, we research technologies that can be integrated into our products, systems, and industry. We plan and implement technologies that can be developed and add value for our customers with the contribution of all our employees and suppliers. We know that ensuring our products remain competitive in a challenging market is the result of strong teamwork, enriched by diverse cultures. For this reason, together with our long-standing employees, our suppliers, and our new colleagues at the beginning of their careers, we continuously aim to develop and improve.

In doing so, we take inspiration from the words of my late grandfather, Tüfekçi Yusuf: “Don't say you can't do it, it's up to you to do it.” With this principle, we implement the innovations we develop both in our production and in our systems.

To advance in line with our goals, dreams, and vision, and to shape our future, we continue our journey with determination and dedication.

Since 1912, we have contributed to the economy and manufacturing industry of our country with effort, determination, and passion.

Kind regards,

Metin YILDIRIMDEMİR

Chairman of the Board
