HELLO CHINA We are a country that produces machines, increases import andexport every year and believe in the motto ‘quality for reasonableprices.’ We are here because you are a country that buys a big shareof the world wide production and we are here with our machines thenational heroes of production in our country.

Since the day it has been established the Central Anatolian Machineryand Accessories Exporters encouraged Turkish Machine Exporters to ta-ke part in international exhibitions, organising trade and purchasing gro-ups, and once again Central Anatolian Machinery and Accessories Ex-porters is attending the Cimes 2008 (China International Machine ToolExhibition) International Machine Exhibition, one of the most importantand biggest mac-hine exhibitionswith the same rea-sons. This year for thefirst time we willhave an informati-on stand of 600square metres to-gether with theMachinery Promo-tion Groups andThe TurkishMechanicalIndustry Platformmember associati-ons within theCentral AnatolianExporters Associ-ations Union,Machinery andAccessories Ex-porters Union promote the Turkish Machinery Sector effectively. In our current issue we prepared a special guide for our readers to bebetter informed of the Turkish Machinery Sector especially for the CimesExhibition. You can find information on the current status of the TurkishMachinery Sector, future targets and also the history of the sector in ourguide. There are also several data that you can use, such as communicati-on information and web addresses in our special issue.

We will be presentin the Chinesemachinery market

THE TURKISH MACHINERY SECTOR WHICH DEVELOPED A UNIQUE DESIGN AND TALENT FOR INNOVATION BY PRODUCING QUALITY INVESTMENT GOODS WITH HIGH ADDED VALUE AND WITH ITS WELL ESTABLISHED FIRMS, IS AIMING TO BE ONE OF THE TOP FIFTEEN MACHINERY MANUFACTURING COUNTRIES AND MAKE A NAME IN THE CHINESE MARKET IN THE LIGHT OF THIS VISION

This is a first in Expo CIMES 2008 that we attended as partof an organization by the Machinery Promotion Group. Themember associations and federations of the Machinery In-dustry Sector Platform are taking part in this expo. TheTurkish Mechanical Industry Platform is a roof organizationthat brings together the associations and sector specific fe-derations together, representing the whole sector. It definesthe general problems and looks for joint solutions, bringingtogether the joint power to solve problems. The participati-on of this roof organization which represents the entire sec-tor is certainly very important to promote the distant areain the market. Central Anatolian Machinery and Accessories Exporter’sUnion and Machinery Promotion Group enthusiasticallyperform different activities to secure fair force for the Tur-kish firms in the machinery sector so they can compete inthe domestic and foreign markets. Participation to “CIMES2008” exposition which took place in Peoples Republic ofChina, a target machinery market for the sector was veryimportant in promoting the Turkish machinery sector effec-

tively and also in reaching large masses. The firms in the sector achieved great increase in export -inspite of the rising competition in the markets they do busi-ness most-, by applying new technologies and giving im-portant attention to improving design. The achievement al-so came with the publicity made and participation in the ex-positions abroad. These indicate an important success. As aresult our industry improved its connections and both im-port and export were increased. China doubled her machinery import within 5 years, joi-ning the first 5 ranking large importers in the world. WhenChina is assessed from that angle, she is a possible targetmarket for Turkey. To take 1% share of this market means20% increase in our machinery export. Turkish machinery sector improved a talent for unique de-sign and innovation, producing quality capital goods. Withits established firms, its target is to become one of the top15 countries that manufacture machinery. We are expectingTurkish machinery sector to receive a better place in thelight of this vision.

TURKISH TOURISMTurkish Tourism is mostly based on thearchaeological and historical areas inthe Aegean and Mediterranean coasts.Istanbul is the biggest city in Turkeyand it has many important areas since itwas the capital city of the Byzantine andOttoman Empires. Sultanahmet Mosqu-e, Ayasofia and Topkapi Palace are onlya few of these important areas. The ot-her important tourism areas are: Ephe-sus, Troy, Bergama, house of VirginMary which remained from the RomanPeriod and also Cappadocia.Beach areas are important tourism are-as generally for people who live in va-rious cities in Turkey and tourist fromWestern Europe. Most important beac-

a; the Laz language and Georgian in theBlack sea region; Kurdish, Zazaki andArabic in Eastern and South easternAnatolia. Although there are vey fewnumbers of Greek and Armenian peop-le, a small part of them and a small partof Jewish people speak their own lan-guages in the daily life.When it is compared with languageswhich are less common, it is possible totransfer more information with lesswords and letters. A basic speciality ofthe Turkish language is that sentenceswith a single word can be produced byadding suffixes to a radix. This specialitydoes not exist in many other languages.

ADMINISTRATIVE DIVISIONSTurkey was divided into various admi-nistrative divisions considering its admi-nistrative and local conditions. It was di-vided to provinces for central adminis-trative organ and provinces divided intodistricts, districts into villages. Gover-nors, who are assigned by the Govern-ment, execute governing and executiveduties in provinces. The number of pro-vinces was 63 in the early years of theRepublic and today this number increa-sed to 81 as a result of the changingconditions and needs. Many developeddistricts expect to become provinces.Units which are smaller than provincesare called district. Every province iscomposed of various numbers of dis-tricts and the number of districts de-

Machine manufacturing in-dustry is the driving for-ce of industrialization ofour country as well asthe whole world and it

will be the foundation stone of our co-untry’s development in the future aswell. Turkish Machine ManufacturingIndustry continues to strengthen its po-sition in the world machine manufactu-ring industry. Turkish machinery in-dustry has shown approximately 20percent of annual growth rate since1990. The total machine manufacturedin Turkey is approximately 15 billionUSD and it is 4,3 percent of the totalmachine manufactured in the Europeancountries. Turkey is in the 6th placeamong European countries in terms oftotal machine manufacturing value. Co-untries which have higher manufacturerates than Turkey are the following res-pectively: Germany 40 percent (140 bil-lion USD), Italy 19 percent, UnitedKingdom 9 percent, France 10 percent,Spain 5 percent. The annual increase inthe machinery manufacturing industryis expected to be at an average of 12-15percent in the next 5 years.When we look at 2007, the increase inmanufacturing is considered to be 12percent with an optimist prediction. In15 EU countries 21,315 companies disp-lay activity in machine manufacturingindustry; in our country there are 11thousand machine manufacturers. Thesources in the sector state that thisnumber is 20 thousand. However if wemake an estimation according to the of-ficial figwes, the number of companiesare almost as much as half of the num-ber of companies in 15 EU countries.The leading product groups manufactu-red in the Turkish machine industryare: reactors and boilers; turbines andjet propellers; pumps and compressors;valves; air conditioners and coolingmachines; heaters and cookers; rollerand foundry machines; food industrymachines; agriculture and forestry mac-hines; load lifting, carrying and stowingmachines; construction and miningmachines; paper and typography mac-hines; washing, drying and ironingmachines; textile and ready-to-wear

clothes machines; machines to processleather; rubber and plastic; metal andmachine tools; engines and spare parts;office equipment; bearings, weaponand ammunition and packaging machines.

INNOVATION IN TURKISH MACHINESMost of the companies active in theMachine Manufacturing Industry inTurkey are SME is (Small and MediumSized Enterprise) However their abilityto adjust to technological developmentsquickly, adequate manpower and ad-vanced engineering skills are the ele-ments that increase their chance tocompete in international markets. Onthe other hand, every kind of machineand accessories are produced in highquality and competitive prices in theTurkish Machine Manufacturing In-dustry. We have high competitive po-

wer especially on machines and comp-lete facilities which are manufacturedupon order. Our Machine Manufactu-ring Industry has the capacity to meetthe domestic demand in many sub-sec-tors with its own production and it at-taches great importance to R & D andinnovation works.The exporters in Turkish machine ma-nufacturing sector have important ad-vantages. Domestic input rate is 80-85percent in the manufacturing process;our companies have turned to interna-tional markets parallel to the globalismin the world in the recent years; our co-untry is close to markets which are ge-ographically important. Advantages lis-ted above are just the main ones.

TURKISH GOVERNMENT GIVES IMPORTANCE TO MACHINE INDUSTRYThe total amount of Turkey’s machine

“ Turkish machine sector export was 9.2 billion USDin 2007 and aims to increase export amount to alevel which will be more than 25 billion USD in 2010;Turkish machine sector has been a sector whichreached world markets in a quick and effective wayand showed successful graphic increasing its exportabove the general export rate of Turkey.”

DEVELOPMENT STAGE STORIES OF MACHINES ALSO FORMS DEVELOPMENT STORIESOF POPULATIONS. JOURNEY OF THE MACHINES COMMONLY USED IN ANATOLIA LIKEIN EVERY OTHER GEOGRAPHY WAS VERY SLOW BECAUSE OF SOCIAL, CULTURAL,ECONOMICAL AND OTHER REASONS UNTIL THE REPUBLIC PERIOD. THE EFFORT FORIMPROVEMENT, SUCCESS IN KEEPING UP WITH THE WORLD CREATES A STORYWHICH IS WORTH TO TELL.

From the simplest to the complicatedHistory of Turkish Machine

Today most of us use certainmachines while we work.Electrical vacuum cleaners,electrical shavers, sewingmachines, in other words

machines which make our work easierare in every house. The people who usethe machines instinctively think thatthey are very complicated because theydon’t know the working principles ofthese machines. But even the most

complicated machine is a device consis-ted of simple elements aiming certainpurposes. Just because of this reasontheir stories are based upon old times.The word “machine” was used to ex-press simple basic elements in the be-ginning; but machine elements weren’tclassified solitarily. Heron from Alexan-dria (B.C.100) mentioned five basicsimple machines: Lever, crane, bobbin,dagger and screw. Heron accepted ge-

ar wheel equivalent to a crane theoreti-cally and didn’t accept inclined plane asone of the machine elements. Otherwriters estimated screw as an applica-tor of inclined plane rather than accep-ting it as an element on its own. Stories of certain kinds of complicatedmechanisms which consist of thesesimple machines and their developmentprocess lead the way to progress of hu-mankind in a long period of history. Es-

In the year 1717 a French citizen,David who was named Real Davut af-ter he converted to Islam, made a liftand force pump in his country and es-tablished a fire brigade working withthis new system in Istanbul.In the beginning of middle age, waterpumps which provided power mostlyfor flour mills were adjusted to several

technological machines such undergro-und water pumping machines, mineralore processing and pressing machines,mine melting blower operating machi-nes, forge hammer lifting machines, wi-ring machines and the machines whichoperate sawmills using beater mortar.This way while on one hand while wa-ter power provided the energy supplyin coal and iron productions which we-re the locomotives of the British in-

pecially traditional machines which we-re developed by utilizing water and airin Anatolia, made people’s lives easierfor centuries like in the rest of theworld. Well spinning wheel, Archime-dean screw or spiral, pulley, bucket li-ne, gear wheels with scoop, septatedgear wheels, water removal mecha-nisms like Takiyuddin’s six cylinderpump, water mills which are the se-cond application areas of traditionalmachine elements, water clocks whichwere made by several inventors like ElCezeri, automats for various functionsor automats for fun or aesthetic tastesand magic pots developed by BenûMusa brothers were commonly used inAnatolia.But the eastern world that met techno-logical needs with traditional machines,lost leadership against technologicaldevelopments after renaissance and thescience revolution in Europe.

TRANSFER OF TECHNICSIN OTTOMANSWithin this period the Ottoman Empiregot its share through their relationswhich depended on a constant strugglewith Europeans their neighbouring-borders throughout history. The Otto-man Empire transferred all the techni-cal development in Europe to close the-ir technology deficit with the Westernworld and struggled to keep up withthe era until present day. The Ottomanswho primarily followed Europe in wartechniques and firearm technology, al-so transferred information about topicssuch as geography, medicine, watch-making and mining.Besides utilizing technical informationof the culture and civilization whichthey belonged, the Ottomans obtainedtechniques of other civilizations whichthey didn’t have without any restricti-ons. For example, in the 15th centuryLeonardo da Vinci mentioned severaltechnical projects to Beyazid II in hisletter. New water cabinet for dischar-ging water from ships, in other words apump project was among these. It hasbeen told that the 17th century IstanbulAzapkapi, pumps have been made frompine tree, the way it was learned fromthe Europeans and water was drawn

dustry, on the other it was used in auto-matic spinning wheels and operatingautomatic fabric looms in the textilesector. The water wheel which didn’tlose its importance until many years af-ter the invention of steam engines, con-tinued to be the most important powersupply both in Europe and in NorthAmerica. In fact, industrial revolutionled to many important adjustments anddevelopments in water wheels insteadof inactivating them. When it is estima-ted in terms of point of view, it was un-derstood that common water power

usage and energy technology backgro-und were adequate for Ottoman indus-trialization at the end of the 18th century.

MILITARY TECHNOLOGYSecond half of the 18th century was al-so a reform period for the OttomanEmpire as in other European countriesthat experienced a major breakthroughin industry the Sultan and the adminis-trators made serious efforts in this field.First serious reform effort started in themilitary field in the first half of 18th

century and a new artillery force (hum-baraci) organization was established in1735. The person in charge of the ope-ration was Humbaraci (Artilleryman)Ahmet Pasha who was of French ori-gins that later converted to Islam andserved the Ottoman Empire. This firstmilitary organization established similarto the European sample, formed thefirst core of the Engineering schoolwhich opened in 1775 under the admi-nistration of Baron de Tott who was al-so a French officer. In this period, it co-uld be seen that numerous experts andtechnicians have served the Ottomansand the latest developments, informati-on and technologies in Europe have be-en learned via these experts.As in every other field, the major bre-akthrough in European originated tech-nology and industry has been imple-mented in the period of Selim III. whowas the close follower of his reformistfather. Selim III was crowned in 1774until then during his uncle AddulhamitI’s reign, Selim III used the facilities hehad as the heir to the throne and studi-ed the current technology educatinghimself to the reforms he would makewhen he acceded to the throne. He sentIshak Bey who was one of his closestman to France via the French Ambassa-dor posted in Istanbul, Gouffier andcollected information about the situati-on of the European countries and mili-tary situation, land and marine forces,castles, arsenals and navy yards ofFrance, at the same time he correspon-ded with King Louis XVI. As a result,when he acceded to the throne, SelimIII became a sovereign who had widenhis horizon and was determined to ma-ke reforms in the empire. Selim III and his assistants also gavepriority to huge military technology in-vestments. Within this purpose, whileon one hand efforts for artillery andlight firearms have been started in 1793under the administration of GuionPompe-Ionne who was the director ofthe Valance artillery foundry in France,on the other with Baruthane-i Amire inBakirkoy, they made efforts to rehabili-tate local gunpowder factories in Thes-salonica, Gallipoli, Baghdat, Cairo, Bel-grade and Izmir beginning from 1790.

Especially in the beginning of 1794, as aresult of successful production accomp-lished in the big and new gunpowderfactory which was built in Azaldi regi-on, north of Kucukcekmece under theadministration of an Armenian craft-sman named Evakil Efendi, Bakirkoy,Gallipoli, Thessalonica and Izmir faciliti-es were inactivated and from the begin-ning of 1795 ammunition needs of theOttoman army and navy could be pro-vided without any problems. The mostimportant characteristics of the Azaldifacility was providing the energy needsof the facility’s machine componentsthrough water wheels.While all the other Ottoman gun facto-ries except Haskoy were managed bytwo French experts Aubert and Cunyuntil Napoleon Bonaparte’s invasion toEgypt between 1795 and 1798, after theinvasion the positions were assigned toBritish and Swedish officers. In this pe-riod although the efforts for gun tech-nology have given limited results, im-portant arrangements were accomplis-hed in mining and moulding technolo-gies which were its sub fields. Againsthard and slow advancement of landarmy reforms, navy and Tersane-i Ami-re reforms resulted much faster. Fromthe beginning of 1793 both reconstruc-tion in Tersane-i Amire and a navywhich was built by Jacques BalthasardLe Brun who was a French marine en-gineer and his two assistants Jean Bap-tise Benoit and Toussauit Petit rehabili-tated Ottoman marine forces in an in-credible way.45 new battleships joinedthe Ottoman navy until 1804,both mari-ne engineers and naval officers wereeducated at the highest level in Engine-er School in Haskoy.

TECHNOLOGY THAT COMESFROM THE WESTFirst generation modern Ottoman sci-entists who were educated by Europe-an scientists and served as teachers inEngineer Schools afterwards, had aneffect in technology transfer from Euro-pe. They were assigned to buy the firststeam machines and operate them. Sci-entists like Huseyin Rifki Tamani andYahya Naci Efendi who were the firstteachers of Muhendishane-i Berr-i Hu-

mayun, introduced the industrial revo-lution in the Ottoman Empire by theend of the 18th century.In the beginning, the Ottoman Empireimported steam machines directly fromEurope and started to produce them inIstanbul soon. With the order of the so-vereign, the search to find a way toproduce every European product in theOttoman Empire began. Head-teacher Hafiz Ishak Efendi whowas the chief of the Muhendishane-iBerr-i Humayun between 1830 and1836was one of the most important visiona-ries introducing modern western scien-ces to the Ottoman Empire enablingthem to be thought in schools.It is known that he has written 7 booksconsisted of 11 volumes with his dili-gence and translation skills betweenthe years 1824 and 1836.Mecmu-iUlûm-i Riyaziye which consisted of 4

volumes, is important in terms of beingthe first book presenting printed Tur-kish texts of many science fields such asmathematics, physics, chemistry, astro-nomy, biology, botany, zoology and mi-neralogy together. In addition to this,Ishak Efendi has written books in fieldsof artillery moulding, geodesy tools andmilitary engineering.Although a complete industrial revoluti-on has never been accomplished inTurkey during the Ottoman period bigindustrial enterprises like ZeytinburnuIron Factory and Beykoz Leather Fac-tory have been established especiallyfor military needs. Building a steamship was partially accomplished in thenavy yard. In the agriculture field, toolsand machines were imported from Eu-rope; agricultural machines invented byseveral educated farm owners were ra-rely seen. Among these people was Ra-

uf Pasha involved in agriculture in Bur-sa invented a threshing machine andused it.

TECHNICAL EDUCATIONMechanical Engineering education inTurkey started in Mekteb-i Bahriye-iSahane (Navy School) which formedthe basis of the Istanbul Technical Uni-versity. As a result of rearrangement ofthe Navy School, education period of

the school was extended to 8 years as 4years secondary school,2 years militarycollege and 2 years marine education.The students who finished military col-lege became an engineer and continuedtheir education in the Navy. In militarysection, besides deck and constructionclasses which were named as militaryclasses, steam-engine classes were offe-red beginning from 1866. The students who started military clas-ses that year, graduated as deck, cons-truction and mechanical engineers in1870. The students who graduated fromsteam class weren’t in fact mechanicalengineers; they were ship machine ope-rating engineers. After his graduation, Ahmet Besim Pas-ha who was one of these mechanicalengineers was assigned as assistant ofShanks who was a chief engineer inTersane-i Amire, and was named chiefengineer after Shanks quit in 1873 andcontinued to work until 1909.Ahmet Be-sim Pasha designed steam engines inthis period and these machines wereproduced and were put on severalships. Besides Navy School there were few

mechanical and electrical engineerseducated in Europe. In the republic period, while studentswere sent to different countries in Eu-rope to be educated as engineers, scho-ols opened in required engineering fi-elds. Ottomans who struggled hard toclose the technological gap betweenEurope during the industrial reform pe-riod with the hope for gaining backtheir technological leadership, unfortu-

nately never kept up with the speed oftechnology. Rare little attempts remained as perso-nal attempts before serial production.However, they succeeded well in kee-ping up with the world technology andfaking it unlike many countries. Witho-ut a doubt, development of this processis hidden in ecomomical, cultural, poli-tical and many other characteristics ofthe Ottoman Empire.

EBU’L ‹Z EL CEZERI, A GENIUS ENGINEER OF ANATOLIA IS ACCEPTED AS THE PERSON WHO TOOK THE FIRST STEPS OF CYBERNETICS AND COMPUTER AND ISTHE PERSON WHO BUILT AND OPERATED THE FIRST ROBOT.

The Ancestor of the FirstRobot is Turkish

Bediüzzaman Ebu’l ‹z ‹bni ‹s-mail ‹bni Rezzaz El Cezeriforms the most brilliant pageof the Turkish engine historywithout a doubt. In an era

when Artuqid Turks prevailed Diyar-bakir, inventions of El Cezeri who wor-ked as an engineer for the Artuqid Sul-tan Mahmut bin Kara Aslan for 32 ye-ars, gave life to many technical gadgetsafter centuries.Water clocks, water robots, automaticthermos and several other technicaland mechanical inventions of Cezeriwho is believed to have lived betweenthe years 1136 and 1206, have also sur-prised the people who have seen his in-ventions at the time. But being a scien-tist building the basis of the computersystem and cybernetic science makesCezeri unique. Ebu’l ‹z El Cezeri builtmachines and automatic gadgets de-pending on the same system as theEnglish mathematician Charles Babba-ge, known as the father of computer, 6centuries before Babbage. In the sameway, he made scientific studies oncybernetics and automatic gadgets towork automatically 800 years before ne-urologist Ross Ashby who is known asthe establisher of cybernetic scienceand built the basis of this science. Ebu’l‹z El Cezeri who worked on presentcybernetic and robot technologies interms of world science history, collec-ted his studies in a book named Kitab-ül Cami Beyn’el ‹lmi and el Ameli’enNafi fi S›naati’l Hiyel (A Book For Utili-zing Mechanical Movements In Engi-neering) for the Artuqid Sultan. In thisextremely interesting book, Cezeri sho-

wed operation principles and utilizationfacilities of more than 50 gadgets thro-ugh his sketches. Although the originalbook by Cezeri who said “Any technicalscience which is not practiced would betrapped between right and wrong” co-uld not reach present day, ten copiesare kept in different museums of Euro-pe, five copies are kept in the TopkapiPalace and Suleymaniye libraries. The work of art known as Kitab-ül Hiyelconsists of 6 chapters. In chapter one

there are 10 figures about making bin-kam (water clock) and finkan (waterclock with oil lamp) as saat-i musteviyeand saat-i zamaniye, in chapter two the-re are 10 figures about making differentpots and pans, in chapter three thereare 10 figures about making ewers andbowls for drawing blood and ablution,in chapter four there are 10 figures abo-ut pools and sprinkles and music auto-mats, in chapter five there are 5 figuresabout pumps which raise the water le-

One of his most interesting inventionswas the automatic butler which decidedwhen to pour water according to thewater levels of various reservoirs andwhen to serve fruit and drink. WhileCezeri tended to equilibrate with hydromechanic effects and movement systemin some of his machines, he tried to es-tablish mutual effect system by usinggear wheels between water gauges andtackles in some of them. The most im-portant contribution of Cezeri in the au-tomation area after automatic systemswas establishing balance which auto-matical equilibrates and adjustmentsusing pressure effect.

CENTRAL ANATOLIAN MACHINERY AND ACCESSORIES EXPORTERS’ UNION HASBEEN OFFICIALLY IN ACT SINCE 2002 TO GATHER MACHINE MANUFACTURERS TOOPERATE UNDER A SINGLE ROOF AND COORDINATING EVERY KIND OF ACTION ANDIT IS THE ONLY EXPORTERS’ UNION IN WHICH MACHINERY EXPORTES IN TURKEYARE REPRESENTED AND IT HAS APPROXIMATELY 9 THOUSAND MEMBERS.

The only address of Turkish machine exporters

Machinery-manufacturingindustry has a specialimportance in the indus-trialization process of allcountries in the world; in

our country as well, with the rapid de-velopment of high added value, whichit has created, and with its contributionto other sectors, machinery-manufactu-ring industry has been the driving forceof industrialization since the beginningof the last century. As a result of this

interaction, the machinery manufactu-ring industry has become more suc-cessful compared to the other manufac-turing industries, and its exports haveconstantly been above the average ofthe export increase for Turkish industri-es overall.Most of the Turkish machine manufac-turers are of SME nature similar to thecase in many other countries; this natu-re creates opportunity to give them amore flexible and quick reply to chan-

ging economical conditions and tech-nological developments.

HIGH QULITY, REASONABLE PRICEAll kinds of machines and their acces-sories are manufactured with high qua-lity and competitive prices in the Tur-kish Machine Manufacturing Industry.The domestic input rate in the manufac-turing process is around 90 percent.Since engineering services have a lo-

parts and washing, drying and ironingand packaging machines.

MACHINE EXPORT TO 200 COUNTRIESTurkish Machinery Manufacture In-dustry attaches great importance to R &D works and it increased its competiti-ve power in international markets withadvanced engineering skills and lowcost manufacturing, so it exports to ap-proximately 200 countries.Germany, United Kingdom, Italy, Fran-ce, USA and Spain are among the lea-ding countries in the export of the sec-tor; the Russian Federation, Iraq, Roma-nia, Poland, Bulgaria and Iran are theother important markets that we exportto. Germany is in the leading positionin Turkey’s total machine export with17 percent and Turkey’s export to Ger-many has increased 3 folds in the lastfive years.

EXPORTERS UNION OF 9 THOUSAND MEMBERSThe mission of Turkish machine manu-facturers is to maintain flexible manu-facture with high technology and com-petitive prices and its vision is reachingworld markets in a fast and effectiveway.Central Anatolian Machinery and Ac-cessories Exporters’ Union (OAIB) hasbeen officially in act since 2002 to gat-her machine manufacturers to operateunder a single roof and coordinatingevery kind of action and it is the onlyExporters’ Union where machinery ex-porters in Turkey are represented and ithas around 9 thousand members.Central Anatolian Machinery and Ac-cessories Exporters’ Union carried outmany projects to strengthen the machi-nery sector and export. In this scope;Machinery Sector Inventory work was

completed to organise actions in themachinery sector more systematicallyand to introduce the structure of thesector Common Purchasing Organizati-on (OSO) Project, in which purchasingbargains was done through one centre.OSO Inc. was set and started operation,the infrastructure works for the projectgiving Certificate of Conformity whichwould enable to highlight the quality asa visual identity, which was Turkey’saim in the machine sector; for the pur-pose of undertaking the mission as abrand and promoting the image of“Turkish Machine is High in Quality” indomestic and foreign markets more ef-ficiently, in this scope a Branch was es-tablished within the structure of OAIB,Machine Industry Sector Platform wasestablished with the participation of theassociations in the sector for the procu-rement to cooperate in machine sector,feasibility research was done to open atrade centre abroad, various initiativeswere made. The activities, which werestarted to ensure that our manufactureswere a brand in the international mar-kets and to create joint initiative oppor-tunities with foreign investors, wouldenable the machinery manufacture sec-tor to be among the most importantsectors which drags the industry of ourcountry with the success it showedboth in manufacturing and in the ex-pansion abroad in the coming years.

wer cost compared to many countries,especially the machines and completefacilities which are manufactured uponorder increase their competitive power.The density of young, dynamic andeducated manpower, the professionalwork mentality on the delivery of themanufactures in intended amounts,quality, prices and time are among theleading reasons behind the preferencesof the international markets for choo-sing Turkish manufacturers. The leading product groups which aremanufactured in the Turkish machineindustry are: reactors and boilers; turbi-nes and jet propellers; pumps and com-pressors; engines and spare parts; val-ves; air conditioners and cooling machi-nes; heaters and cookers; roller and fo-undry machines; food industry andpackaging machines; agriculture andforestry machines; load lifting, carryingand stowing machines; constructionand mining machines; paper andtypography machines; washing, dryingand ironing machines; textile and re-ady-to-wear clothes machines; proces-sing machines for leather; rubber andplastic; metal and machine tools; officeequipment; bearings.

DOMESTIC MANUFACTURE INCREASESDomestic manufacture has showed aquick increase in the Turkish machinesector and has approached to 18 billionUSD value. The manufacture is expec-ted to increase by 12-15 percent rateaverage annually in the next five years.The sector directed its manufacture in-crease to export and EU countries andUSA are at the top of the list of its ex-ported countries. Machinery and acces-sories sector increased its export appro-ximately 4 folds in the last ten years andit has been strengthening its position inthe world machinery- manufacturingindustry with its fast technological de-velopment.Machinery and Accessories sector has aportion of 7.1 rate in the total export ofTurkey. The most important exportitems of our country’s machine sectorare: air conditioners and cooling machi-nes at foremost and engines and spare

The joint power ofthe Turkish

Machinery IndustryTURKISH MACHINERY INDUSTRY, SLIPPED THROUGH MANY

OTHER INDUSTRIES IN TURKEY AND ACHIEVED A FIRST. A BIG JOINT POWER WAS OBTAINED WITH “TURK‹SH

MECHAN‹CAL INDUSTRY PLATFORM” WHICH WAS SET UP BYTHE COLLABORATION OF 27 ASSOCIATION, INDUSTIAL ZONE

AND CHAMBERS ENGAGED IN THE SECTOR. TURKISHMACHINERY MANUFACTURERS WILL EASILY ACHIEVE THEIR

TARGETS IN THE FUTURE WITH THE STRENGTH THEY OBTAINFROM TURKISH MECHANICAL INDUSTRY PLATFORM.

Machinery is like the sub-ject of every sentencewith the verb “producti-on.” Today the machi-nery sector is an integral

part in every stage of production fromagriculture to industry or mining to au-tomotive. Until the recent years, machi-nery in Turkey was shaped with foreigndependency. However today, figuresclearly show that the Turkish machi-nery sector is a fast growing, ascendingsector in the race of export, thanks tothe manufacturers spread all aroundAnatolia. The Turkish machinery sectoris a giant power; raising its export num-bers to 9 billion dollars in 2007 and 7,6billion dollars in the first 8 months of2008 raising its export by 32% compa-

red to the same term of the previousyear. The sector is devoted to the deve-lopment of the Turkish Industry anddisplays great discipline; adopting themotto ‘great power comes with greatresponsibility.’ Central Anatolian Mac-hinery and Accessories Exporters Uni-on acts as a dynamo helping the sectorprogress faster exercising new applica-tions to improve the competitive capa-city of the Turkish Machinery sector inthe international markets.

THE IMPOSSIBLE ACHIEVED The sector achieved the impossible withthe Turkish Mechanical Industry whichwas pioneered by United Central Ana-tolian Machinery and Spare Parts Ex-porters. The Machinery Industry Sector

thinking, it will happen. But it didn’t goas fast as we expected. Meanwhile Cen-tral Anatolian Machinery and Accesso-

ries Exporters Union was enlarging,many projects was brought to life oneafter the other. The good thing was thatthe sector owned joint projects and fri-ends who came to the administrationtook hold of the projects carrying themfurther. The idea of platform stayed vi-vid that way. The embodiment stagewas caught when Central AnatolianMachinery and Accessories ExportersUnion join the process and we openedup the Foundation Protocol and WorkPrincipals for signatures on 16 Febru-ary 2007. 27 association, federation and

“ Turkish Mechanical Industry Platform bringstogether the Turkish machinery sector as one fist. ThePlatform works on a joint sector becoming the sidesector in several areas. Turkish Mechanical IndustryPlatform is a very important step for this purpose. ”

Platform is started by 27 association, in-dustrial zone and chambers that believeno other sector will grow if the machi-nery sector does not develop. The firststep of a unity which was not seen inany other sector in Turkey was startedwith the Turkish Mechanical IndustryPlatform.

DEMAND FOR UNITY FORMEDTHE BACKGROUND OF THEPLATFORMThe best words to explain the reasonbehind the foundation of the TurkishMechanical Industry Platform is of thepresident of the Platform Executive Bo-ard, Kutlu Karevelioglu, who explainedthe reason behind the Platform as “theidea of the platform is the product of ademand for unity; to think together, todevelop solutions together, and to sha-re our knowledge and facilities, to getover the difficulties in solidarity; to ac-hieve power to regulate, effect and sha-pe the sector.”He also emphasized a grim reality sa-ying that the first association of themachinery sector in Turkey was estab-lished in the 1950s whereas the GermanFederation was established in the1980s. “Turkey must step up in this raceshe started behind. The requirement ofa platform for the Turkish machinerySector starts just at this point. This sec-tor can run faster with the help of unityas a result of this platform, in a race itstarted behind compared with its com-petitors.” About the idea behind the foundationof the platform, Kutlu Karavelioglu says“I think the idea occurred in the sectoron 21st December 2005 when we held ameeting in Bursa with the participationof 9 associations. It was a very livelydinner. I remember leaving the meeting

PLATFORM WAS IMPLEMENTEDON 12 MARCH 2008If you wish, let’s rewind the time backto 12 March 2008. The Machinery In-

sector, could step up to bring the in-dustry to a leading position in theworld with the giant support of unitybehind it.

DISORGANIZATION ENDED Adnan Dalgakiran the president of theboard of directors in the Central Anato-lian Machinery and Accessories Expor-ters Union described the Platform as “astep to make the machinery sector onevoice and one power.” He summarizesthe target of the platform as follows;“Turkey is a country which importstechnology and that’s how manufactureis done. As long as you import techno-logy, it is not possible to close the gapof the foreign trade deficit. There aretwo items in the foreign trade deficit.The first is petrol; second is investmentand intermediate items. There is no ho-pe of finding petrol, but we have such asector in hand. Already, one of the big-gest reasons behind the growing fore-ign debt of the Turkish private sector isthe import of capital goods, the machi-nery tools import. Turkey is growingfast. But not producing technology, bu-ying technology. Imports the machi-nery, manufactures the good with che-ap labour. But it all finished now. Youwill either return to added value pro-ducts in this sector or you will expandthe added value goods sector such as

THE VISION AND MISSION OF THE PLATFORM

The Vision of the Platform: Improving the life quality and wealth of our society and

help in our country’s sustainable development; contribute

in the technological improvement of the machinery in-

dustry sector and help it to become internationally compe-

titive in innovations; to be a leading, contributing and sha-

ring roof organization.

The Mission of the Platform:Developing policies according to the priorities of our natio-

nal industry with every part of the machinery manufactu-

ring sector and in collaboration with the related organizati-

ons in order to improve the competitive capacity and we-

alth and also maintain it; contributing to developing the

substructure and tools to achieve these; playing the main

role in forming solidarity and collaboration culture.

dustry Sector Platform was formed by27 associations, chamber, federationand industrial zones, with the lead ofCentral Anatolian Machinery and Ac-cessories Exporters Union in order toobtain joint power and make joint deci-sions. The Platform held its meeting ofExpanded Council of Directors with theparticipation of the Turkish RepublicState Minister Kursad Tuzmen, on 12March 2008 in Ankara. From then onthe Turkish Mechanical Industry SectorPlatform which represents 80% of the

the machinery sector. Machinery has astrategic characteristic making the in-frastructure of other sectors. The Euro-pean Union regards the machinery sec-tor not only as a strategic sector but al-so as foundation, and says I do my bestto protect and improve this sector, andsupport if it is necessary.

both in domestic and foreign market. Inthis respect, Turkish producers realisedthat they had to raise production qua-lity and they had to decrease costs as inall other sectors. Clearly the Turkishmachinery sector has taken considerab-le distance in this manner. The primarymission of Machinery Promotion Groupis to describe and promote the sectortotally. Apart from these, the secondmission of the Group is to promote thequality level of the Turkish machinerysector both in domestic and foreignmarkets. The group also makes marke-ting activities of Turkish machines insome of the target markets.

TURKISH IMAGE WILL GET STRONGERTurkish companies which are active inthe machine sector already make theirown promotion within their budgets.However the aim of the group is tocontribute in to the whole of the sectorin strengthening the country’s image ina way that the companies can not do byalone. In other words, the MachineryPromotion Group aims to describe acti-vities of the companies, within worldthe standards to a large mass and re-move the negative image if there is any.On the other hand, the machine sectorhas a wide product range as a result ofits structure. The sector does not have the chance tobe active in only one product like otherpromotion groups. There are promoti-on many product groups and dozens ofassociations, institutions, … in the sec-tor. The Machinery Promotion Groupprimarily tries to determine promotionactivities of these associations. As a re-sult of the activities, Group aims to pro-vide facility for Turkish machine produ-cers to sell their products in severalmarkets without encountering resistance.

STEPS ARE TAKEN QUICKLYWhen we observe the efforts of theMachinery Promotion Group, we seethat this Group has taken distance wit-hout slowing down. Machinery Promo-tion Group held 8 meetings in total sin-ce its official establishment in July 2007.The decisions in the meetings are taken

with the agreement of all the groupmembers as a result of long debates.Within this scope, primarily a logo waschosen for the group. Secondly a webpage was designed both in Turkish andin English for easier communication.Another important effort is to get themachine sector companies togetherwhich are members of the MachineSector Platform, to support the promo-tion activities. It has been decided thatmember companies in international or-ganizations would support promotionactivities and in the efforts, domesticmarket is considered as important asthe foreign market. Machinery Promoti-on Group decided to promote the mac-hinery sector in the domestic market aswell. Therefore, it has been decided tohold a Perception Survey for the deter-mination of the road map and a stra-tegy about the promotion in the market.In this respect, a company was chosento hold the survey and survey goes onwith all the speed. The survey is aimedto be finished by the end of October2008. One of the other decision is to setup a stand and participate in importantinternational fairs.The Machinery Promotion Groupworks on a project that would gatherforeign companies planning to importmachines from Turkey and think to co-operate with Turkish machinery produ-cers. The group aims to organize thisproject it primarily to the USA. The ot-her plan of the Group is to give adverti-sements for the promotion of the Tur-kish machinery sector magazines ornewspapers issued in foreign countriesassumed to be important by the groupand are read especially by machineproducers and machine importers.

There are several requirementsfor all sectors such as financialsupport, government incenti-ves, well prepared feasibilityreports to be successful and in-

crease market shares. Moreover, thepublicity of the sector has to be madesuccessfully in order to get the most ef-ficient results. There is a global burst inthe field of advertisement for the past30 years. Sometimes advertisement andpromotion efforts get ahead of qualityof the product in determination of con-sumer tendency. The Turkish Machi-nery Industry Sector established itsown promotion group in July 2007.

PARTICIPATION IN THE 1998 COMPETITION The first publicity group has been es-tablished with the Hazelnut PromotionGroup in 1998. Some of the sectorssuch as agricultural products, ceramicsand leather sector established its ownpromotion groups and activities startedafterwards. In the general assemblymeeting of the Central Anatolian Mac-hinery and Accessories Exporters Uni-on in April 2007, it has been decidedthat promotion group should be estab-lished with the approval of the Under-secretariat of the Prime Ministry for Fo-reign Trade, it has been officially estab-lished in July 2007.It is definitely a fact that development isimpossible without producing machi-nes. In the same way, export successwould be temporary unless machineexport becomes stronger. Foreign tradedeficit can decrease in a country only ifit is known as machine froducer. Thepromotion of the sector is very impor-tant for the achievement. In this sense,Machine Promtion Group could be oneof the guarantees of sector develop-ment by covering the promotion deficit.

dustry affects the machinery sector too.When it comes to the machinery sector,it can be seen that quality is more im-portant than other areas. In the sectorwhich plays a direct role in organizingmost of the industry and infrastructure

areas, quality comes before price. Assuch, it is obvious that products provedto be of quality will be better preferredin the market. The Central AnatolianMachinery and Accessories Exportersacted according to this reality and imp-lemented their own quality standardsTURQUM. As a result of that work thequality of the Turkish machines that arebest fit to carry the TURQUM logo willbe registered and at the same time theimage of the Turkish machinery will beenforced.

NOT ONLY A QUALITY STANDARD BUT PRODUCT GUARANTEE AS WELLThe machinery sector is special for ourcountry just like it is in the other coun-tries of the world and it is the providerof technology and capital goods for theother side industries and sectors.

In the ever increa-sing global competition environmentthe most important mission of this im-portant work is to pioneer the TurkishMachine manufacturers on this processof branding. There will be publicity ac-tivities (exhibition, commercial commit-tees, press conferences) in the targetmarkets in order to provide an interna-tionally recognizable TURQUM brandand advertisements will be released inthe sector magazines abroad, a commu-nication will be established between themanufacturer and clients through aWEB site. Calls to the other professio-nal organizations abroad will be held.The preference of the products carryingTURQUM brand will be provided bypublicity works, using all the othercommunication vessels.With the Product Efficiency Certificati-on it is aimed to form the quality strate-gies for the enterprises in the machinemanufacturing sector to gain the powerto compete in the international marketsand also to create a brand to reflect thatquality. It is also aimed to improve thelevel of the manufacturers’ applicationsof quality and to secure its sustainabi-lity.

NEUTRALITY IS UNDER GUARANTEEThe application structure of the ProductProficiency Certification is based on theEA-6/01, EA-6/02, ISO Guide 65 docu-ments. General Secretariat (OA‹B)adopted a objective policy in the polici-es, procedure, and instructions in thecontext of functioning of the certificati-

The Product Proficiency Certifi-cation services are not limited with themember export firms but it is offered toall the firms functioning in the machi-nery sector.General Secretariat is performing theProduct Proficiency Certification servi-ces in an objective manner, without anyfinancial pressure and under the Pro-duct Proficiency Specifications that isprepared by experienced Sector Com-mittees which are formed by individualexperts in their subject. When formingcommittees for product proficiency cer-tification different committees, indepen-dent from each other executed the sys-tem in order to achieve neutrality andtrust in the activities such as inspection,assessing, certification decision, andevaluation of complaints and appeals. General Secretariat guaranteed that thecommittee members in the defined or-ganization scheme will fulfil their tasksunder no influence and and are restrai-ned of telling anything to third partiesunder a principle of secrecy.

It securesa wide range of product guarantee star-ting from production to after-sales ser-vices.

TURQUM CERTIFIES QUALITYTURQUM, a product standards brand,is a logo attached to the products aftera certification process to asses its qua-lity according to the standards andtechnical conditions. The right to usethis standard can be obtained by anymachinery and spare parts manufactu-rers and manufacturer-exporters byapplying at the The Central AnatolianMachinery and Accessories Exportersand after they fulfil the required pre-re-quisites and the inspections are comp-leted at the manufacturing location.

China’s contribution to globalgross domestic product in-creased rapidly in 2007 andChina stated that it becamethe powerful engine of the

world economy. China’s economy hasstarted to be more integrated with theworld economy, in the last 6 years sincejoining the World Trade Organization.Data have shown that, in 2007 whiletendency in growth in foreign trade ofChina was being preserved; the foreigncapital which entered the country in-creased steadily, the quality of used fo-reign capital increased, sectors whichare new and based on high techno-logy, the rate of foreign capital in rese-arch-development fields, high level ma-nufacture and environmental protectionsector fields increased even more.It was stated that more than 30 thou-sand Chinese enterprises have joinedmultinational businesses and those en-terprises made investments in morethan 160 countries and regions of theworld. According to the predictionsmade from the World Bank, the contri-bution of the Chinese economy on thegross domestic product of the world isexpected to reach 16 percent in 2008. Inthe “View at World Economy” report ofthe International Money Fund, it wasstressed that China has become the lar-gest driving force of the world eco-nomy.In 2007, the gross domestic product ofChina has increased 11.4 percent, con-sequently its economic growth speedhas reached 10 percent or more in theconsecutive 5 years. The economy ofChina maintains its development stea-dily and rapidly despite all the difficulti-es in the international economy at-mosphere and serious natural disasterswhich happened in the country. Thegross domestic product of China is sta-ted to be increased as 10.4 percent inthe fist half of 2008. It has been seenthat while harvest in agriculture has be-en high once again this year, the struc-ture of industry has raised to a betterposition; domestic demand and especi-ally demand of consumption’s accelera-tor role of growth has increased; thecharacter and productivity of growthcontinued to rise.

THE ECONOMY OF CHINA ISGROWING RAPIDLYThe economy of China has showed agrowth of 10.6 percent in the first quar-ter of 2008 and showed a 10.1 percentgrowth in the second quarter. The ave-rage of the first 6 months in 2008 of theeconomy of China has 1.8 points com-pared to the same period of 2007 and it10.4 percent level. The regress in theeconomies of the USA and Europe wasshown as the negative effect of the ba-sic reason of the decrease in the growthrate of the manufacturing sector. Somebusinesses had to be closed as a resultof the decrease of the export from Chi-na to the USA and Europe, however thedomestic consumption in China conti-nued to grow, consequently the eco-nomy continued its rapid growth.

China is still maintaining its position asthe 4th largest economy in the worldfollowing the United States of America,Japan and Germany. However the pre-dictions that China would leave Ger-many behind and be the third largesteconomy in the world increase. Someexperts predict that the economy ofChina would grow over 10 percent thisyear and this growth would decrease to9.5 percent in 2009.

EXPORT AND IMPORT INCRAESES CONSTANTLYIn the first half of 2008 export made byChina has reached 666 billion 600 milli-on USD with an increase of 22 percent,

however the growth rate has sloweddown 5.7 points compared to the sameperiod last year. It attracts attention thatthe import volume of China has increa-sed 30.6 percent and reached 560 billionUSD in the same period. In the first halfof 2008 foreign trade volume of China isstated to increase 25.7 percent compa-red to the same period last year and goabove 1 trillion 225 billion USD, the tra-de surplus decreased by 11.8 percentand dropped back to 99 billion USD. Inthat period, China increased its exportto Brazil by 86 percent, to India by 53percent, to Russia by 32 percent and tothe Association of Southeast Asian Na-tions (ASEAN) by 30 percent exceedingthe increase rate of export to developedcountries. When the development ofChinese foreign trade in the last 5 years

is considered, it is seen that export hasconstantly increased with a decreasingprogress speed especially after 2004,import has continued to grow steadilywith a rate which increased after 2004.China was the third biggest exporter ofthe world in 2006 after Germany andUSA with 968.9 billion USD and in 2007it increased its general export to 1.217,8billion USD with an increase of 25.7percent and left USA behind and beca-me in the 2nd position. USA, HongKong and Japan were in the leadingposition among the countries whichChina made the most export to in 2006and they maintained their positions in2007 as well.

“ Despite the fact that the progress rate of our machinery and accessories export to China has gonebeyond the import progress rate in the last few yearsand this development is considered as positive development; as of 2007, the rate of machinery andaccessories export from Turkey to China corresponds toonly 2 percent of machinery and accessories importfrom China in the same year and this fact clearly showsthat we need to cover an important distance.”

and accessories export of USA, therehas been a 22.5 percent increase in theexport of the sector in China. On the ot-her hand, it has been monitored thatthe progress speed rate of China hasbeen decreasing each year. In 2006 the total export of machineryand accessories in the world was 1.52trillion USD, it was stated that thisnumber has increased to 1.65 trillionUSD in 2007. China has had the propor-tion of 12.3 percent in the machineryand accessories export in the world in2006 and it increased this number to13.8 percent in 2007.China imported machinery and acces-sories adding up to 109.1 billion USD in2006, it increased this value by 13.8 per-cent in 2007 and raised it to 124.2 billionUSD. China has been attracting the at-tention of exporters maintaining its titleof 3rd biggest importer in the world inmachinery and accessories after USAand Germany in 2006 and 2007.

FOREIGN TRADE VOLUME OF352.7 BILLION USD IN MACHINERY SECTORWhen machinery and accessories areconsidered for last five years, foreigntrade volume of China has constantlyhad foreign trade surplus and reached352.7 billion USD with 19.3 percent in-crease in 2007. However it is seen thatthe increase rete of foreign trade surp-lus is in a tendency to decrease. As of chapter 84, the product group ofautomatic data processing machineunits are in the first place in machineryand accessories export of China in 2007with export value of 112 billion 243 mil-lion USD. This product group is follo-wed by the product group of type-wri-ters , calculators, accountings, data pro-

cessing and other machinery and ac-cessories for office use with 32 billion738 million USD export and productgroup of printing machines for typog-raphy and auxiliary apparatus with 18billion 725 million USD export. The pro-duct group in which the biggest increa-se has been in 2007 is the product gro-up of printing machines for typographyand auxiliary apparatus with 4549.5 per-cent increase. In 2006 this product gro-up had 402 million USD export, the ex-port value of this product group in 2007draws attention: 18 billion 725 millionUSD. In export increase rate, this pro-duct group is followed by the productgroup of dozers, diggers, scrapers, ex-cavators, shovels, loaders, etc. with 82.4percent increase and the product groupof distinctive function machines and de-vices with 78 percent increase. The onlygroup which had a decrease comparedto the previous year was the of typing,calculator, accounting, data processing,other machinery and accessories for of-fice use with 0.9 percent decreaseamong the product groups which werein the first 20 position in machinery andaccessories export of China.When we consider the machinery andaccessories import of China as of thechapter 84, the product group of auto-matic data processing machine unitsare in the first place with the amount of21 billon 229 million USD. This productgroup is followed by the product groupof typing, calculator, accounting, dataprocessing, other machinery and acces-sories for office with an import amountof 17 billion 477 million USD and theproduct group of distinctive functionmachines and devices with an importamount of 13 billion 436 million USD. In the machinery and accessories im-

China was the 3rd biggest importer inthe world in 2006 after USA and Ger-many with 791.5 billion USD and thegeneral import of China increased 20.8percent and reached 955.9 billion USDin 2007 and its position in the worldrank did not change. Japan, South Ko-rea and Other Asian Countries weremost important import partners of Chi-na and their ranking remained the sa-me in 2007.

MACHINES HAVE IMPORTANTROLE BOTH IN EXPORT AND INIMPORT When the main items in the export ofChina in 2007 are considered, it is seenthat electrical machines are in the firstplace and general machinery and ac-cessories are in the second place. Thetotal portion of these two parts in ex-port in 2007 is beyond 43 percent. Ironand steel has been the most increaseditem as per 2006 with 59 percent increa-se among the important goods groups.Electrical machines and general machi-nery and their accessories also have animportant portion in the import of Chi-na as well as its export in 2007. The to-tal portion of these two parts in importin 2007 has been close to 40 percent.Among the important goods groups,the items which have shown most in-crease in import as per 2006 were metalores, cinder and ash with 68 percent in-crease. As it can be understood fromthese data, machinery and accessoriessector is at the centre of foreign tradeof China.

1 BILLION 39 MILLION USD TOTAL EXPORT TO CHINAIn 2006, Turkey exported products of693 million USD to China and in 2007,Turkey increased this value by 50 per-cent 1 billion 39 million USD. Turkey’simport from China has increased by36.9 percent in 2007 and reached 13 bil-lion 234 million USD. Our foreign trade volume was 10 billion362 million USD in 2006 and it increa-sed by 37.7 percent in 2007 and reached14 billion 274 million USD. Turkeyconstantly showed a foreign trade defi-cit in favour of China and in 2007 conti-nued this situation resulting in 12 billi-on 195 million USD. In other words, al-most 20 percent of the foreign trade de-

ficit of Turkey stemmed from China.The first three chapters in Turkey’sexport to China in 2007 are metalores, cinder and ash with export inthe amount of 357 million USD, salt,sulphur, soil and stones, plasters andcement with an export volume of 270million USD and inorganic chemi-cals, organic, inorganic resultantsamount of 80 million USD. Nuclearreactors, boiler; machines and equip-ment, tools and accessories are in thefourth place in export with the amo-unt of 60 million USD.The chapters which showed the big-gest increase among the items whichcompose 95 percent of the total ex-port from Turkey to China in 2007are iron and steel with percent in-crease, metal ores, cinder and ashwith 205.4 percent increase, wool,horse-hair and their lines and textilewith 120.08 percent increase.

first three chapters which have the big-gest portion in Turkey’s import fromChina in 2007 are: electrical machinesand equipments, accessories and partswith 3 billion 228 million USD import,nuclear reactors, boilers; machine andequipment, tools, parts with 2 billion938 million USD import and iron andsteel with 487.6 million USD.The first three chapters which compose95 percent of the total import of Turkeyfrom China among the items whichshowed the biggest increase are ironand steel with 153 percent increase,synthetic and artificial discontinuousfibres with 119 percent increase, artifici-al and synthetic fibres suitable for texti-le with 114 percent increase.

OUR MACHINE EXPORT RATE TO CHINA HAS DOUBLED When chapter 84 is considered, in 2006,

and China took 0.69 percent of thewhole.

THE PROGRESS RATE OF OURMACHINE IMPORT FROM CHINAIS DECREASINGChina, which was in the 3rd place inmachinery and accessories import ofTurkey with 2 billion 318 million USD in2006, exported machinery and accesso-ries to our country in the amount of 2billion 938 million USD with 26.8 per-cent increase in 2007 and maintained itsposition in the ranking. The increase rate of machinery an ac-cessories import from China had beenover the general import increase rateuntil 2006; this situation changed in2007. On the other hand, the increaserate of our machinery and accessoriesimport from China is seen in constantdecrease. Our foreign trade volume ofmachinery and accessories was 2 billion352 million USD in 2006, it increased by27.5 percent in 2007 and reached 2 billi-on 998 million USD. Turkey has beenshowing a foreign trade deficit cons-tantly in favour of China and continuedthis process in 2007 and the deficit re-ached 2 billion 878 million USD.

It is seen that theexport increase rates of machineryand accessories, we made to China in2006 and 2007, went beyond the gene-ral export increase rate attained forthe same country.On the other hand, our machine ex-port to China is in a low level in termsof value when we compare it with theexport to other countries which have alarge portion in the world machine ex-port.

increase rate in the last few years andthis development is considered as posi-tive development; as of 2007, the rate ofmachinery and accessories export fromTurkey to China corresponds to only 2percent of machinery and accessoriesimport from China in the same yearand this fact clearly shows that we needto cover an important distance.As of chapter 84, the product groupwhich is in the first place in our machi-nery and accessories export to China in2007 is the accessories-parts of internalcombustion piston engines with 18 mil-lion USD export. This product group isfollowed by distinctive function machi-nes and devices with 6,4 million USDexport and the product group of tackle,crane (except the cranes with steps),capstan, hand crane, car jacks with 6million export.The product group, in which the big-gest increase has been seen comparedto the previous year among the itemswhich compose 95 percent of machi-nery and accessories export from Tur-key to China in 2007, is machines whichprepare fibres and produce and prepa-re thread with 2012.48 percent increase.The product group of refrigerators,freezers, coolers, heat pumps is in se-cond place with 871.85 percent and themachines and equipments for washing,cleaning, filling and etc. is in third placewith 673.43 percent increase. The product groups, which show a dec-rease compared to the previous yearamong the items which compose 95percent of machinery and accessoriesexport from Turkey to China in 2007,are the following: the product group ofweaving looms, machines and equip-ment which produce guipure, tulle, la-ce, string bag decrease by 71.48 per-cent; the product group of moulds formetal foundry decrease by 55.25 per-cent, the product group of automaticdata processing machines units decrea-se by 12.17 percent and the productgroup of tackle, crane (except the cra-nes with steps), capstan, hand crane,car jacks decrease by 0.32 percent.As of chapter 84, when our machineryand accessories import from China in2007 is considered; it is seen that theproduct group which has the biggest

portion is the product group of automa-tic data processing machines with 1 bil-lion 43 million USD. This product groupis followed by the product group oftyping, calculator, accounting, data pro-cessing, other machinery and accesso-ries for office use with import of 219million USD and the product group ofprinting machines for typography andauxiliary apparatus with import of 215million USD. The first three positions, which showedthe biggest increase in the machineryand accessories import from China in2007 among the items which compose95 percent of the total machinery andaccessories import, are: steam genera-tors, boilers which produce hot waterwith 34.628 percent increase, gas genes,gas generators which operate with wa-ter and their accessories and parts with9.868 percent increase and typing, cal-culator, accounting, data processing,other machinery and accessories for of-fice increase by 7.485 percent.

WE NEED TO WITHDRAW DOMESTIC MARKET AND RELIEVE MANUFACTURERSThe foreign trade of Turkish Machinery

Industry Sector with China does notbring positive results. The fact that the products, which are inpoorer quality when they are comparedwith cheap and local manufacture thatcome from China, control the domesticmarket and this fact cause our trade inthe sector to have a positive balance infavour of China. In this scope, the posi-tive value which is created in our co-untry goes out and local manufacturerdistresses and that put pressure on thesector. At the same time, cheap Chinese pro-ducts cause our representatives in thesector to lose customers in the West aswell. Although the progress speed ofthe export of the sector is above theprogress speed of import; this showspositive signals; it is still valid that ourcountry needs to cover a lot of distancein general. China is still one of the big-gest importers in the sector and this isan important datum in our plans basedon this country. China needs machineswhich are high in quality and durableand if these machines are invested in, itseems possible that we will increaseour export to China and balance our fo-reign trade in the coming term.

Nuri Demira¤ an important na-me in the entrepreneurshiphistory of Turkey, was bornin Divri¤i, Sivas in 1886 toone of the rooted families of

Divri¤i. The son of MühürdarzadeÖmer Bey Nuri completed his highschool education successfully later onworking as a teacher in his school forsome time. In 1906 he passed the emp-loyment test of Ziraat Bank and workedas a clerk in Kangal and Koçkiri branches. In 1908 with the declaration of Consti-tutional Monarchy government officesre-structuring began under the audit ofthe Treasury. In a time when it was dif-ficult to find well-trained employeesthose trained by Ziraat Bank wereamong the most preferred. This is howMühürdarzade Nuri Bey moved to Is-tanbul in 1911 to work for the TreasuryDepartment. He was given the mostdifficult missions due to his honest andhard-working nature, he was beingsent to audit and re-structure officeswith problematic management. NuriBey continues his education all the whi-le during these missions. He attended

Followinga street struggle in Tatavla where a fewminority group members assaulted himand dropped his fez; he want to his offi-ce and handed his resignation imme-diately.

A businessman who produced air-planes in 1936 NURI DEMIRA⁄ AN IMPORTANT NAME FOR THE ENTREPRENEURSHIP HISTORY OF TURKEYWITH THE COMPLETELY LOCAL PRODUCTION OF AIR-PLANES IN 1936, HAD A STORMY BUSINESS LIFE SIMILAR TO THE PLANES HE PRODUCED.

In 1918 Nuri Beywas assigned to a position in the Trea-sury Audit Group and he had a long ca-reer ahead of him.

NUR‹ BEY BEGINS TRADENuri Bey resigned from governmentservice in 1919 and was in need of a jobto earn a living. That was when he deci-ded to go into rolling paper business.He could afford to do the trade with thelimited capital he had at hand. The ciga-rette rolling paper monopoly was underthe control of minorities. He made afast decision and decided to convert his56 yellow coins to banknotes and inves-ted 250 lira in rolling paper and beganthe trade. The rolling paper brandMehmet Nuri named “Türk Zaferi”(Turkish Victory) was an attempt thatpromised hope to the people and alsoproved to be profitable business. While busy with his business Nuri Beyalso supported the National Resistanceand was the Besiktas Branch Chair forthe Müdafaa-i Hukuk Cemiyeti (Defen-ding Law Association.) When the Na-tional Resistance ended with victoryNuri Bey’s wealth had reached 84 thou-sand Liras as a result of his first entrep-reneurship.

WEAVED WITH IRON NETS (DEM‹RA⁄)… When the Republic was declared NuriBey wanted to be a part of the re-buil-ding of the young republic. The Government in Ankara wanted tobreak the foreign monopoly in railwayconstruction and keep the money in thecountry so the tender which was awar-ded to the French company Reji Jeneralwas cancelled and the Samsun-Sivasrailway was decided to be re-assignedon Turkish Contractors. Nuri Bey, gave

the lowest offer for the tender bid andwas awarded the tender. When othertender bids followed the first he askedhis brother Engineer Naci Bey to resignfrom government service and throughthe company they established togetherthey built 1250 kilometres of railwaysnot including the bridges and tunnels.He built some of the first industrial faci-lities for the Republic such as KarabükIron Steel Factory, Izmit Paper Factory,Sivas Cement Factory and Bursa Meri-nos Wool Factory. For every projectcompleted Nuri Bey built a water foun-tain, the 50 water fountains are still inuse in different parts of the country.Following the1934 “Surname Law”Mustafa Kemal stated it was appropria-te for Nuri Bey to be given the surname“Demira¤” as he weaved most parts ofTurkey with iron webs (Demira¤.) In1936 Nuri Demira¤ was the richest bu-sinessman in Turkey with a wealth of11 million lira.

FUTURE IS IN THE SKYIn the first years of the Republic citieswould hold charity campaigns and col-lect money for the Armed Forces andbuy a plane to be given to the Military.These planes were named after the citythat donated it to the Army. Anotheroption was to go to the rich families inthe country. Vehbi Koç gave 5 thousandLira, Abdurrahman Naci Bey anotherrich businessman of the time gave theMilitary 120 thousand lira. Nuri Demi-ra¤’s door was also knocked on to asthe richest businessman in the county.However Nuri Bey’s answer was veryunique: “What are you talking about” If you asksomething for this nation you need toask the best. If a nation cannot existwithout air-planes, then we should notexpect to have these crucial elementsfrom other people’s grace. I volunteerto build the factory for these air-pla-nes.” Nuri Demira¤ asked for a 10 yearprogramme to be made in 1936. Thefirst step was to build the big yellowbuilding next to the Navy Museum inBesiktas by the Pier of Barbaros as thebasic study headquarters. He boughtthe Elmas Pasa Farm in Yesilkoy to useas run-way. The R&D studies of the pla-nes would be made in Besiktas and thetrial flights would be made in Yesilkoyand the location of production wouldbe Divri¤i, Sivas.

THE PROBLEM WITH TAA Selahattin Alan one of the first air-planeengineers of Turkey and Nuri Demira¤shook hands and began production inBefliktafl. The Turkish Aeronautical As-

sociation (TAA) ordered 10 training pla-nes and 65 gliders. Selahattin Alan whodesigned the planes and gliders was soenthusiastic that he could hardly keepstill when he heard of the completion ofthe first plane, and took it out for a test-flight immediately. Selahattin Alancompleted the test-flight successfully.However the authorities of the TurkishAeronautical Association wanted thetest-flights to be made once again inEskiflehir. Although Alan was a brilliant engineerhis flight training was not so great, whi-le he was landing at the Inönü Camp inEskiflehir he fell into the ditch by therunway and lost his life. This was a tur-ning point for Nuri Demira¤ becausethe TAA cancelled their order claimingthat ‘Conditions were not right.’ Thenbegan a law suit between Nuri Demira¤and TAA that lasted for years. The An-kara Trade Court decided that TAA wasright and verdict was in their favour.Demira¤, wrote to President ‹nönü andother government officers to ask for themistake to be fixed but no-one heardhis voice.

AIR-PLANE EXPORT 70 YEARS AGOWhen Nuri Demira¤ could not sell theTAA his planes he began to look for fo-reign market options and succeeded inthis effort. He sold planes to Spain,Iran, Iraq and Syria. The TAA did not li-ke the planes produced by Demira¤ ho-wever decided to buy the French Hen-rio planes but their production had be-en cancelled. While exporting his own productionplanes Demira¤ used the planes he ma-de at the “Sky-School” and Air-waycompany he established. The Sky-Scho-ol trained new pilots in Yeflilköy and hestarted a middle-school for aviation inDivri¤i. Demira¤ took on all the expen-ses of students in his schools, even Pre-sident ‹nönü’s sons went to the “Sky-School” in Yesilköy for some time. The “Sky-School” had a 150 student ca-pacity dormitory and only registeredUniversity students or graduates andtrained them in topics other than justpiloting a plane with deeper informati-on on flight and planes and trained pi-lots.

DAM IN KEBAN, BRIDGE AT THE BOSPORUSAlthough foreign markets showed gre-at interest to his planes Nuri Demira¤closed down his factory due to the diffi-culties of exporting and Yeflilköy wasexpropriated. Demira¤ began his cons-truction business once again and in1942 came up with the idea of construc-ting a dam on the Keban. Another im-portant project he came up with was abridge on the Bosporus. Demira¤ sho-ok hands with the group that built thefamous Golden Gate Bridge in SanFrancisco in 1931. The bridge would bebetween Ah›rkap›-Salacak with 8 legson land and 10 in the sea with a lengthof 2.560 metres and 701 metres additio-nal chain-parts, the bridge project wascompleted. The bridge which would ha-ve a railway route as well would ecompleted in 3.5 years and cost 11 milli-on Liras. The projects were relayed toAtaturk in 1933 through Salih Bozok aname close to Atatürk, who liked theprojects very much and relayed theprojects to the government. Howeverthe relations between Minister of Deve-lopment Ali Çetinkaya and Nuri Demi-ra¤ had always been tense. Prime Mi-nister ‹nönü was also not very keen onNuri Bey’s projects. Hence Istanbul lostthe opportunity to build a bridge 40 ye-ars before it actually did. Nuri Demira¤ had got sick of the injus-tice he had to encounter for so long andrealised that he could only fight politici-ans through politics and so decided toget involved in politics. In July, 1945 es-tablished the first opposition party inTurkey and called it the National Deve-lopment Party. He offered grilled lambto his guests at gatherings, thereforepolitical groups and the press made funof him, calling his party the ‘lambparty.’ Demira¤ could not catch thesuccess he expected at the electionswith his National Development Party. In1954 he campaigned together with theDemocratic Party as Sivas independentMP and was elected. When he was unhappy of the acts wit-hin the Party and the Parliament he ma-de the first heavy criticism against themand in 1957 passed away due to his Di-abetic condition.
