Picanol takes its place at ITM 2016

Giving high importance to Turkey as being one of their first customers of weaving machinery, Picanol already confirmed its place with 300 sqm at ITM 2016. Mr. Kurt Lamkowski, Customer Relationship Team Manager of Picanol said :"Turkey has been one of the first markets where Picanol has been exporting machines to. Turkey has also been traditionally one of the top-3 countries for Picanol."

This is also the reason why Picanol decided in the 90’s to have their fully-owned subsidiary and branches in Turkey, with 100% Picanol employees taking care of sales and after market-service. Evaluating the Turkish market, Mr Kurt Lambowski, remarks that in the last 5 years, the market in Turkey has been good and developing, and because of this, Picanol has been expanding its sales and service force in Turkey.

Mr. Kurt Lamkowski gave the following information about their future plans in Turkish market: "Picanol has been present in the Turkish market for a long time, and also Picanol is ready to maintain its position in the Turkish market in future. We continue to invest in our Turkish organization. As we are in daily contact with all our customers all over Turkey, we are collecting information about the future needs of our Turkish customers.

This will result in unique developments in our products, helping our Turkish customers to remain successful and also in streamlining our local service organization."
