Evteks organizers organized a press conference at Marriott Hotel in Frankfurt Heimtextil days and promoted the event to world media
Turkey attends Heimtextil, the largest home textile fair of the world, very actively with a great number of exhibitors on the one hand and develops its own fair on the other. Almost every single company of the Turkish industry refers Evteks with words “our fair” and contributes to the promotion of the fair which is growing fast on the way to be a world brand.
CNR and TETSIAD (Turkish Home Textile Industrialists and Businessmen’s Association), the two names behind the success of the fair, jointly organized a press conference in Marriott Hotel which is next to Messe Frankfurt where Heimtextil is held.
Speaking at the conference, Mr. Yasar Kucukcalik, President of TETSIAD, described the fair as a growing event with parallel to the Turkish home textile industry, stressed that Turkey has become a trendsetting country and a brand in world competition. “We are a trendsetting country in the home textile industry. We are determined to develop our case better. We will promote the fair more efficiently in countries such as China, India, Germany, Italy, Spain, Russia and some African countries,” Kucukcalik noted.
Pointing out that these kinds of important fairs are supported by states Kucukcalik complained the problem in Turkey at this regard and said, “The government and local authorities should do their best to help our fair and industrialists to grow. This should be a national issue but only two non-governmental organizations are doing this job. We should take pride in the fact and success that we are only a producer but a service-rendering supplier. Having these two at one place is of extremely importance. This strength should be further developed with the help of our State and by local authorities.”
Speaking on her part Mrs. Ceyda Erem, Chairwoman of CNR Holding, outlined the success of the fair and thanked TETSIAD for the major supported they provide. Erem also highlighted their plan to promote the fair abroad and said that they would enlarge the fairground by 20% in 2014 to host more companies which are on the waiting list.
