ISTANBUL (TR) - The export rate of our country continues to increase every year. According to the data of the Ministry of Commerce, the export figure, which was 17.3 billion dollars in October 2020, reached 20.8 billion dollars with an increase of 20.3% in the same period of this year. After 2021, when the highest export figures in the history of Turkey were seen, contract manufacturers are also preparing to push the limits. Berna Şikel, Project and Marketing Manager of Parkurda.com, which is a group company of Tezmaksan, conveys her thoughts on the subject with the following words: “Subcontract manufacturers that produce for companies that have raw materials but do not have enough opportunities at the point of production have a critical place in trade. We, as Parkurda.com, Turkey's largest contract and CNC platform, bring together contract manufacturers and companies on a single e-commerce platform, and become an intermediary for them to meet our foreign members and expand their business networks. In this way, we aim to contribute to the rise of Turkey, which stands out as a new production base against China, which has serious problems in supply with the pandemic, in international markets.”

Contract manufacturers increase their income

Berna Şikel said, “Thanks to their production capacity and competent workforce, contract manufacturers not only ease many burdens that are challenging for companies, but also increase sectoral efficiency. Contract manufacturers with a wide business network and production power contribute to the country's economy. On the other hand, companies that outsource contract manufacturing can focus on marketing and increase their productivity by getting rid of many obligations” and continues as follows: “Companies that expand their product range thanks to subcontractors increase both their efficiency and potential customers. At this point, it is enough for them to send offers by making a search according to their criteria by becoming a member of Parkurda.com, where we bring together manufacturers and institutions that want to expand their business network on a single channel.”

It is possible to realize digital transformation from a single platform

Stating that the sectoral momentum stagnated during the pandemic period, Berna Şikel said, “Contract manufacturers and companies that want to meet their product needs can cooperate and make profit together in the world of e-commerce, which has an increasing importance in our country's economy, as a partner through Parkurda.com. At this point, we offer the opportunity for manufacturers and companies to meet in a single channel by facilitating the digital transformation process. In order for our subcontractors and companies with product quality in European standards to gain literacy in the sector, we provide trainings that they can attend online through our platform. In this way, we not only create a wide business network for Parkurda.com users, but also help them acquire professional knowledge and skills.”
