“On the Denizli road in Kısık, we had a place. We thought, ‘We’ll produce here and sell at our location on Gazi Boulevard.’ We went to the Hannover Fair in Germany and bought a few machines for production. We absolutely weren’t thinking about becoming large-scale industrialists. We saw it as a simple job; just produce parts and sell them, that’s all. But it turned out not to be that way at all… Over time, we faced real difficulties, yet we never gave up. After all, that’s what it takes to succeed—you must pursue what you do, without questioning whether the challenges can be overcome. Ninety percent of trade is courage. You need civic courage; you must take risks and make your decision first. Then, when you focus on your work and commit yourself wholeheartedly to it until the end, success will naturally come to you.”
