Turkish Machinery Industry Seeks U.S. Expansion

The Turkish Machinery Group (Ankara, Turkey), also known as MAIB, reports that Turkey’s recent expansion into the European market makes it poised for growth in the U.S. machinery and machine tool industry.

MAIB will be present in Booth E-5072 at Chicago’s McCormick Place, September 8-13.

Turkey’s machinery exports, which were US$3.0 billion in 2003, reached US$14 billion in 2013. The ratio of exports to imports in the machinery sector has gone up from 29 percent to 45 percent in the last 10 years.”

As Turkey currently exports to more than 200 countries, including some in Latin America, MAIB says the country’s machinery industry is poised for growth in and cooperation with the United States. Through targeted advertising and participation in IMTS 2014, Mr. Dalgakiron says that the organization “aims to expand awareness about the quality as well as the recent technological developments in Turkey’s machinery sector and the benefits of a strategic joint U.S.-Turkey partnership.”
