Do you participate in international fairs? What is the importance of fairs to the sector?
We suppose that international fairs are very important in the sense of the companies to introduce and develop themselves. For this reason, we participate in the fairs in different parts of the world. Among these, Premiere Vision Paris, Munich Fabric Start, Texbridge Istanbul for fabric; Heim Textile, Evteks for home textiles can be named.

2013 will be a year of big change and development for us. It will be a great year that we will try to place innovations in the sense of both marketing and production; and quality to our company. Our company will exhibit its difference against our rivals by concentrating on our goals and succeeding in reaching them in the shortest possible time.
Do you have anything to add about the sector or your activities?
We have positive expectations from the domestic market. We suppose that our exportations will continue decreasingly. We predict that it will be better in the first half of 2014. On the other hand, we are trying to follow the cotton and yarn policies of China as well. Because, as is known, when China changes the purchasing policies, the price of raw material is affected either in good way or bad way. We are trying to follow these predictions in general.
