Friday, January 28, 2011
"SANKO Holding Yönetim Kurulu Başkanı Abdulkadir Konukoğlu, kriz sonrasında işsizliğe çözüm bulmak amacıyla Türkiye'de yatırımcı arayan ABD'li yöneticilerin kendileri ile görüşmesi ve SANKO tesislerinde inceleme yapmasının, SANKO için olduğu kadar, Gaziantep sanayisi ve sanayicisi için de bir onur olduğunu söyledi."
President of the Board of Trustees at SANKO Holding Abdulkadir Konukoglu said it was an honor as much for SANKO as it was for Gaziantep industry and industrial workers that US administrators, seeking investors in Turkey in order to find a solution to post-crisis unemployment, met with him and examined the SANKO facilities.
The Mayor of Muncie (Indiana), Sharon Kay McShurley, Head of the Muncie Chamber of Commerce, Jay Julian, Mayor of Marion (Indiana), Wayne Seybold, Head of Grant County (Indiana) Chamber of Commerce, Tim Eckerle, President of East Indiana Regional Chamber of Commerce, Bryan Daniel Zuerner, and Sherry Marie Roberts from the Indiana Fayette County Chamber of Commerce met with SANKO Holding Chairman of the Board of Directors Abdulkadir Konukoglu within the scope of their Istanbul schedule.
Stating that he had invited the delegation they met in Istanbul to visit Gaziantep, Konukoglu said: "We went by private jet to the Gaziantep Organized Industrial Zone with the delegation and had a meeting with Chairman of the Board, Cahit Nakiboglu."
Konukoglu noted that they later took the American delegation on a tour of some SANKO Holding companies, Sanko Textiles, Sanko Towelling and Super Film Packaging Industry, and continued:
"We at SANKO and industrialists from Gaziantep are pleased that American regional administrators and heads of chambers of commerce came to Gaziantep. Looking at it from SANKO's perspective, we are proud. This shows that news of the initiative, quick decision-making and successful projects of Gaziantep industrialists has reached as far as the USA. The fact that the Americans are interested in us is an expression and result of what we determined, that 'Gaziantep is the city least affected by the crisis.' Members of the American delegation stated that Gaziantep and SANKO far surpassed their expectations and expressed their admiration."
Mentioning that they had also hosted a dinner for the American delegation where Governor Suleyman Kamci, authorities from central administration and local management and members of GSO Administrative Board were also present, Konukoglu added that they were evaluating the proposals brought to them by the delegation.
