China's Coup to the Local Moulder!

Due to the price hikes in the material, the cost of casting is between 2 / 2,5 euros for the domestic manufacturer, while it is between 1 / 1.3 euros in China, and between 1000 / 1500 euros per month for the domestic producers, and between 250 / 350 euros in China. EFEMMDMY KALIP A.Ş. stated that since this price index was balanced against the domestic producer, orders shifted to the Far East market. General Manager and President of the Heavy Industry Sheet and Mold Manufacturing Association, Salim Demiray, stated that the market volume in the entire metal industry has shrunk by 2023 percent as of the last quarter of 59.

President Salim Demiray added: “After fighting and defeating the corona scourge for two years, our country collided with natural disasters and a chaotic economic situation. You cannot make 85 million people happy at the same time, but our sector, especially the group pioneered by the A-Segment companies in Turkey, does all its shopping with China due to the price advantages abroad, due to the "Loopholes in Customs Laws". In the past, Chinese products wore out very quickly, but now they last for a few years. In fact, while A / B / C segment companies see trade with China as a profit for themselves, their brand values ​​are eroding day by day. But unfortunately, our companies are not even aware of this. This transaction does not bring any economic benefit to our state, and we are expanding China's economy to a gigantic size with our local and national gains. As manufacturers, we are downsizing our workplaces due to this economic contraction.

If the government cannot take any measures against imports in the near future, there will be closures before the end of 2024 and thousands of people will be unemployed. Even now, nearly 50 of our manufacturer brothers have lost hope and closed their shops. We, the manufacturers, who always support our state, strive to contribute to the country's economy. Let me give you an example from myself: If I sold my business, I would earn 700 thousand liras a month without working at all; Our institution is trying to keep the stoves smoking by spending nearly 2 million a month. We think that our state should revise the Customs Law again, thinking that it should bring a balance to imports. As manufacturers, we will continue to follow up on our work. In Bursa, the capital of metal, we have difficulty finding intermediate level personnel, so vocational schools are a red line for us. National Education should give importance to professions and keep them alive. As an association, we are environmentally friendly. “We will continue to add value to Bursa.” said
