Our Company, which has been carrying out its activities in a transparent and corporate manner with the motto of strong management and sustainable production since the last quarter of 2020, continues to reap the fruits of the right steps taken. In addition to the global increases in steel prices, the improvements we have made in the field of production efficiency, our understanding of effective financial management, strict financial discipline, our increasing product diversity and the customer portfolio we have developed have had a positive impact on our profitability in the first quarter of 2022. As a result of the increase in demand in the steel markets, our safe sales policy, our product development and marketing activities for the defense industry, automotive, machinery manufacturing and rail systems sectors, together with the recovery process after the pandemic, our total sales and profitability increased more than expected compared to the first quarter of 2021.
We firmly believe that we will achieve a sustainable growth and profitability in the coming period as well, by focusing on sales, marketing and export activities and focusing on value-added products such as railway tracks, railway wheels, heavy profiles and coils. Our Company, which gives priority to domestic supply in raw material consumption, continues to contribute to the national and regional economy with its strong corporate structure and determined management approach. In addition, it will complete its technological investments in an environmentally friendly manner and continue its social responsibility activities.
Our Company, which generates value-added sales revenues with its specific products such as railway wheels and rails, has become a visible player in the global market, especially with its export and marketing efforts in recent years. In addition to our sales, marketing and export activities, our Company has achieved global level financial management capabilities with its disciplined financial management studies.
