For further details please visit www.ozakfiltre.com.tr Despite its 40 years of experience, the company has not engaged in marketing activities for exporting abroad. Our first step towards export markets was to renew the website and add the English language option. Participation in sectoral fairs in Europe.Contacts were established with hood manufacturers in Europe, primarily Poland,Germany, Italy, Spain, France, England and USA. Contacts were made via exhibitions, phone, e-mail and social media (especially Linkedin)It was observed that especially German and Italian manufacturers shifted their production to Poland due to labor costs. That's why we put Poland at the center of our marketing activities. We signed a distributorship agreement with a strong supplier company in the white goods sector in Poland. The aim was to keep the types with fast consumption in the distributor's stocks, to gain an advantage over the competitors and to use the power of the local company for sales and technical support.Sample studies are carried out with many European manufacturers. The amount of projects we follow alone in Europe is more than € 10 million.
