Annual production - 5 million
meters of woolen fabric
Producing five million meters of woolen fabric
annually and with a half-century of achievement
behind it, Aksu has succeeded in becoming a
respected brand name that is associated with
quality both in domestic and international markets.
Producing fabric for women and men clothing,
Aksu’s most striking advantage over competitors
lies in the quality product it produces; a superior
quality that has become synonymous with the
Aksu name. In an ever increasing competitive
environment, the collections, products and sales
services that Aksu provides consumers, always
with a customer-focused approach, is one of the
main factors that differentiates the Aksu brand
from its competitors.
|
New products that make a difference
Garnering its competitive strength from product
development, Aksu has focused on products that
reflect added value and advanced know-how.
Based on the latest technology, Aksu products are
able to compete in world markets. New products
are developed every year. These products are
differentiated by design, construction and finishing
processes.
Aksu was one of the first companies to
apply nanotechnology to wool fabrics. With
nanotechnology, anti-bacterial, stain-resistant and
breathable fabrics can be manufactured without
using chemicals or changing the feel of the fabric.
2008: 16% increase in exports
Aksu focused primarily on its efforts in quality
improvement in 2008. At year-end Aksu’s sales
stood at US$ 54.6 billion.
The fluctuations in demand, due to the conditions
of the global crisis, affected Aksu’s domestic
and international sales. However, thanks to
the Company’s widespread international sales
organization, an increase of 16% was achieved in
exports over the previous year.
In keeping with the strategy implemented in 2005
to develop its international sales channels, Aksu
has completed the structuring of its representatives
in international markets. Projects are ongoing to
increase sales of collection items that are popular in
overseas markets and to improve service sampling
processes.
Aksu has identified present and new customers that
have the potential of becoming long-term business
partners. Product development and production
investments are being undertaken to increase the
business volume of Aksu and its customers. This is
consequently increasing market shares.
Foreign exchange rates, which were below
expectations for the first eight months of the year,
adversely affected the Company’s performance as
a great majority of sales are carried out in foreign
currencies. This situation was directly reflected
in profitability figures. The targets planned for
profitability and capacity utilization, however, were
successfully met. |
