Interview with Dünya Newspaper – Başar Demircan, General Manager of Reis Makina

We Have Grown Alongside the Republic

Başar Demircan: Reis Makina, one of the brands whose foundations were laid in the early years of the Republic, has a history of 105 years. Our company has essentially grown alongside the Republic. Looking at what we have accomplished over the past century, Turkey’s share of the global hardware industry—worth around 1 trillion dollars—is approximately 25 billion dollars. Reis Makina is working to increase our country’s share in this sector.

Founded in Rize by the Topçu family, our 105-year-old company today exports generators to the Balkans, Eastern Europe, the Turkic Republics, African countries, and the United States. In order to keep pace with an increasingly globalized and digitalized world, we are placing strong emphasis on technological R&D activities and continuing to invest in innovation.

In the second century of the Republic, we will continue to support the development of our country with all our strength.
