DAL Holding Investment Co. Investment Co. basics was laid in Turkey 33 years ago, in 1985. The journey which started with the purpose of meeting the needs of electric motors and actuators of various sectors, continued with DAL Elektrik in 1990 and DAL Automation companies in 1995.
We became the first Turkish company to set up a turnkey cement factory in 2000, with the establishment of our companies that respond to heavy industry needs, create added value and prioritize technology, people and environment. At present, our engineers work all over the planet, our products serve the industry, our projects and our works contribute greatly to their economies as the pride of the countries.
In this process, which enables us to become one of the world's leading engineering companies, our most important principle is of course, trust. Our respect for our business is that we are doing business with almost every country in the world, our technology and engineering from Japan to Brazil, and our long-standing relationships.
Our main fields of activity are cement plants, grinding plants, industrial plants, electrical and automation system solutions, R & D, steel construction, energy and renewable energy, electric motors, machine design and production, crinker cooling, crushers, upgrade projects, high technology Greenhouse complexes and turnkey solutions.
But there are, of course, very serious details on these issues, which I can give only in titles.
DAL Holding Investment Co.,the most important feature of the 'Value-added' work you're qualifying. What are your working / producing principles?
First of all, R & D activities are very important to us. In our official R & D center, we have contributed to technological progress in all of the sectors in which we work and continue to develop new technologies.
We contribute to the elimination of deficiencies in the sectors in which we operate, to increase productivity with the contribution of technology and to the production of new technologies with new opportunities. We are trying to develop cost-reducing, capacity-enhancing and productivity-enhancing technologies by determining the needs of the sectors we are operating in.
You are making your signature abroad, especially in Eurasia, in Brother countries Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, to those who have been created and to be employed. How do you evaluate the Eurasian region as a company working mainly abroad?
The Eurasian region is very important for us. We share the same history, the same culture, the same feelings. As you know, Turkey was the first country to recognize the independence of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Since the first day of their independence, these countries have established strong business relations and established them.
We are a group that has been working in the region for many years and signed major projects. The fact that this is based on engineering increases the contribution of our projects to the economies of these countries. It is a great source of happiness and pride for us to see that these projects, which we make with the most advanced technology, which creates a high contribution to the economies of the country and which create employment and are used in the world, contribute to the welfare of the region.
In these countries where we share a common culture, common pain and happiness, not only our projects, but every positive development, every successful project, we are embracing our chest. As a result of cultural unity, inter-country relations and economic and political solidarity in these regions, we see that Turkish companies, which we are proud to be in, are on the way to transform into a huge cooperation on the basis of their work so far.
DAL Holding Investment Co. Investment Co. has a large number of areas. Which areas and sectors do you cover?
As DAL Group, I would like to remind you that we are primarily an engineering company. We are a group that carries our technology and engineering to the most extreme corners of the world. However, it is not possible to explain our projects, high-tech products and engineers in a few lines while we have completed and continued in every corner of the planet.
Therefore, if we need to give an example from this region, we also delivered our turnkey second cement plant in Uzbekistan last month. Our latest projects, which have been completed with 100% Turkish engineering and using the most advanced technology, will produce 1.5 million tons per year. It is possible to produce gray and white cement from the same line.
In addition, we have closed a gap which is in great need of all the countries of the region with our steel construction factory DAL Heavy Uz, which started to operate in the free zone in Uzbekistan. With our state-of-the-art equipment, we have become capable of producing the necessary products for the heavy industry. In terms of projects in the countries of the region, there is a great deal of solution in terms of transportation from a long distance which brings serious operational risks and brings big costs.
Last year, the company that makes the biggest export from Turkey to Uzbekistan, was DAL Technical Machine Corporation.
As you know in Kazakhstan, we have signed memorandums on cement plants, 200 MW gas cycle power plant and 200 hectares of Mega greenhouse complexes and we started to work with a great speed after signatures. We want to implement these projects in Aktobe, Turkistan and Zhambul as soon as possible.
Turkey and the Turkish world, business and economy, politics, culture are very important developments. How do you evaluate these good developments?
If we look at the historical dimension, the Turkic World is a great unity of culture and consciousness that cannot be separated from each other by borders. In the process of thousands of years of Turkish civilization, it will not be possible to deny the effect of political, cultural, commercial and geographical factors on relations. However, with the increase of communication and transportation facilities, the distance of countries from each other, airplane hours, the Internet has fallen to seconds. In this case, trade relations will be strengthened and the growth rate will increase.
It works undertaken in this region of Turkey based company is known to the entire business world. Especially with the impact of cultural unity, Turkey based company much faster in these countries are solution-oriented and be successful. For these reasons, identified as 10 billion USD trade target between Kazakhstan and Turkey, we think the amount is realistic. In the coming period, we are confident that the relations with commercial activities will be very important for all parties and that the ties between the countries will be strengthened.
You attended the latest Kazakh Invest meeting and signed a deal of close to $ 2 billion there. It was stated that it would reach a target of $ 10 billion. What about your evaluations?
We are also an Independent Partner of Kazakh Invest. We are confident that every aspect of Kazakh Invest is one of the most successful in the world investment agencies. Both countries have a desire and intense work to do large projects together, as can be seen in the memorandums held in Ankara at the last meeting with presence of Aksakal of whole Turkish World, Mr. Nursultan Abishevich Nazarbayev.
The sensitivity of state administrations in this regard is very serious. Both Kazakh Invest ,Turkey and the ambassadors of Kazakhstan, with mutually self-sacrificing work of all relevant institutions, business opportunities can be considered quite fast.
Is there a topic you would like to add, especially specify?
We will continue to be supporters of every project that contributes to the welfare of the countries of the region.
The increase of our projects that we have successfully delivered in this geography will continue to be an occasion of happiness and pride for us.
Therefore, if we need to give an example from this region, we also delivered our turnkey second cement plant in Uzbekistan last month. Our latest projects, which have been completed with 100% Turkish engineering and using the most advanced technology, will produce 1.5 million tons per year. It is possible to produce gray and white cement from the same line. As you know in Kazakhstan, we have signed memorandums on cement plants, 200 MW gas cycle power plant and 200 hectares of Mega greenhouse complexes and we started to work with a great speed after signatures.
