81 TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM MILLER / december 2021 company in our industry. We have a respected, sol- id, and reliable position in the international sector. What investments are you planning in the near future? After our investments in molds and machinery, we are beginning production of all coupling types in the second quarter of 2022 together with the Time Power brand. WE WILL MAINTAIN OUR LEADERSHIP WITH TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATIONS What is your position in the face of rapidly de- veloping technology? Can you evaluate the fu- ture of the belt industry in the context of techno- logical innovations? As a supplier company, we are constantly improv- ing ourselves in order to respond to any need that may arise in the face of developing technology. We continue our research and we are growing our team in this direction. The Optibelt brand, of which we are currently the distributor, meets all kinds of needs that may arise in power transmission elements with the develop- ing technology before its competitors in the sector. Therefore, when we look to the future of the belt industry in the context of technological innovations, we can foresee that we will continue to maintain our business in a pioneering position. How can you list the reasons why your custom- ers prefer you? What advice would you like to give your customers on belt selection? What makes us stand out is honesty, our ability to find high-quality products instantly, constant strong product stock, trouble-free products, trouble-free shipping. Our priority is to always offer our customers the right product in line with their needs. In addition, because we have a wide product range, offer high-performance and high-quality products at the most affordable price as a result of extensive re- search, provide fast feedback, after-sales services and our team that always provides solution-orient- ed technical service are among the reasons for customer preference. Belt selection should be made according to the profile of the pulley to be used, operating condi- tions (speed, spin, load, etc.), and feedback com- ing from the industry. In line with these parameters, maximum belt life will be achieved by operating the preferred belt at the correct tension. WE CONTINUED TO GROW AT THE SAME PACE IN THE PANDEMIC Has the industry managed to turn back to the pre-pandemic conditions in production and sup- ply? How do you evaluate the coming process? Well, since we have a growing supply network every day, an assessment like before and af- ter the pandemic would not fit us. In fact, if we make a comparison, we can say that we have achieved an increasing momentum in the last 2 years. Considering that we haven't been ad- versely affected during the pandemic process, we will continue to serve in the same direction in the coming years.
