We sat down with Hüseyin Gürler, Turkey Sales Manager that successfully represents the company to talk about the company. Responding questions at Altuntop’s Istanbul Showroom, Gürler said the company aims to have 80 percent of baked goods sector in Turkey with its quality and technology. The following is QA with Hüseyin Gürler, Turkey Sales Mana- ger of Altuntop Bakery Machines: Mr. Hüseyin Gürler, can you tell us about the founda- tion story of the company? We produce bread, pastry, and dough machines as Altuntop bakery machines. The company was established in 1991. The factor is located in Malatya. Apart from baking and industrial equipment, we manufacture pre-cooking machines, bread co- oking bakeries, multi-story bread ovens, pastry bakeries, lifting and tilt-up machines, mixers, kneading, and cutting and weig- hing machines. With its 22,000 closed space, 150 expert personnel, and 300 staff in abroad Altuntop Heat and Machine Industry provides services with zero error policy on standard quality products to the sector with its integrated processing centers connected with Industry 4.0 and controlled with the latest CNC. We manu- facture in Malatya, have a showroom in Istanbul, and have the main office in the Netherlands. The central office of sale is based in the Netherland for about fifteen years. We provide service to this sector for thirty years. Is there any special reason for selecting the Nether- lands? Salwan Naji, a shareholder and export manager, is a Dutch and lives in the Netherlands; thus, the Netherlands is selected as the central office of the company. Additionally, we wanted to be in the central European country- that’s why we selected the Netherlands. So, we can say that Malatya is selected for production beca- use Ömer Altuntop is from Malatya. Yes, you can. Ömer Altuntop is from Malatya and that’s why this city is selected for the production center. Are there any advantages or disadvantages of selec- ting Malatya as your production center?
