Where is the Turkish Industry Going?

Investment is the first condition of industry. Investment is the first step of being able to produce, maintain and renew.

It starts with a place, workshop, factory building where you can carry out production. This beginning has always been in garages in America.

Since even a world giant like Apple is established in a garage, there is no need to explain the position of garages in the American industry.

Since we do not have garages in our way of life, it is necessary to discuss whether companies like Apple are not coming from us or are we making faulty investments.

While investments are made in R&D and production technologies in developed countries, investments are generally made in factory buildings and residences in our country.

While there is no return for the money invested in the ground, we persistently continue to build buildings and clothe them with glass.

It would be meaningless to wait for the development of the industry by investing in the fields of contract, cheap, low cost, regardless of brand, patent, product, and by spending most of our money on the land and factory building.

While making investments without thinking strategically or even without thinking at all, our industry cannot develop as desired due to the investments made in the direction of buying the cheapest instead of making short, medium and long-term calculations.

While purchasing machinery and equipment, we continue to think about chicken or egg, egg or chicken in our country, which has become a machine dump by purchasing products of Chinese and Far East origin.

While we were waiting for "work" with the classical industrialist approach, "we will buy machines accordingly", we still could not understand that "work" would not come without investing and installing a system.

Establishing the right equipment and the right systems, especially human resources, will naturally bring costs. While investing, the business potential that can be obtained by evaluating these costs over the years will emerge.

Our industrialist, who dreams of making high profit production with low cost investment, does not avoid any investment when it comes to pleasure.

In our country, where the world's most expensive cars are sold, you can see that our industrialist uses Chinese-made machines in his factory, while a latest German car is in front of his elegant building. Often this number is more than one.

For this reason, we can understand where the Turkish industry will go on the day when the size and technology of our investments for production and the value of the cars we buy are higher.
