Turkey’s growing automotive sector is the subject of a special event aimed at manufacturers and distributors in the Midlands. The B2B matchmaking event is
being organised by Enterprise Europe Network at Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce on 7 June, and will see local firms meeting face-to-face with a group of leading Turkish vehicle component suppliers. Each of the Turkish firms is
looking to build partnerships and relationships with firms in the West Midlands. Among them is Gaysan Istanbul, which currently makes gas springs and dampers. The firm is looking for local manufacturers to help it develop the production of shock absorbers, and distributors to help market its products. Sunny Claire, a business advisor
in the Chamber’s international team, said that Turkey was investing heavily in its automotive sector, particularly commercial vehicles. “This a great opportunity for
local companies to become involved with a fast growing market,” he said. “As well as
Vroom vroom: Turkey’s automotive sector is booming, according to EEN’s Sunny Claire
investing heavily in developing this sector, if Turkey joins the EU in the near future that is bound to create further opportunities in this field.” As well as the Chamber event,
the Turkish delegation will be visiting local businesses linked with the automotive sector, including Jaguar Land Rover. They will also be attending
Automechanika Birmingham, which takes place between 7-9 June, and will be the first of its kind in the UK.
The event will showcase the latest
developments in the automotive supply chains and aftermarkets. The event will feature more than
550 exhibitors from 30 countries, and host more than 60 seminars. To register for the free Chamber
