“We are one of the leading companies in Turkey in product diversity. Currently, we have direct sales to more than 50 countries. We aim to have a say in Europe and America, and we want to support our production capacity with a new and large factory.”

What are the details that carry Aqua Zone to a different point in its field of activity and make you preferred?

First of all, I must state that we respond to the needs of our customers as quickly as possible, and we respond positively to any product requested from us. Since my main profession is mold making, even if there is a product that we do not have, we can make the mold in the requested shape and settings and send the finished product to our customer immediately. At the same time, we value our customers’ thoughts and comments about us, and we listen to them carefully. All this, of course, leaves a positive impact on our customers.

Could you give information about the products in your portfolio and the features of these products?

Our products mainly consist of stainless shower channels and strainer/bathroom drains. We use 304 stainless steel raw material in these products. We do not use a lower quality steel because we do not want to lower our quality. At the same time, we can use 316 stainless steel according to our customers’ requests. We also use ABS raw material as plastic. We are one of the leading companies in Turkey in product diversity. Our products are in European standards. Since we use stainless steel, we can give a lifetime warranty on our products. In addition to stainless shower channels, check valves, manhole boxes and covers are also included in our production volume. We have a place in the mold sector, and we have even started to manufacture molds for abroad recently.

We know that you have a very busy time on the export side as well. How many countries do you reach and which of your products are most preferred for export?

As you said, we spend very busy hours in the export part. We currently have direct sales to more than 50 countries, especially in Africa, Europe and Asia. We want to increase the number of our dealers in Europe and America in the coming years. I can say that mostly stainless shower channels are sold.

The pandemic slowed down some of our investments, but did not end it. With the new investments we will make in the near future, we want to destroy the part where the pandemic has slowed us down.

How did you go through the pandemic process as a company? Have there been any changes in your calendar in the face of the difficult conditions brought by the epidemic?

The pandemic was not something we had experienced or experienced before. We were at the UNICERA 2020 fair when the epidemic broke out. The pandemic has affected us a little too, that’s true. It has slowed down our growth rate a bit, but we aim to close this with new models and investments that we will make in the future. The pandemic slowed down some of our investments, but did not end it. We still want to make these investments. With the new investments we will make in the near future, we aim to destroy the part where the pandemic has slowed us down.

How was the year 2020 completed for Aqua Zone in both production and export channels? Relatedly, has the first half of 2021 progressed in line with your goals?

2020 was the year the pandemic broke out and entered our lives. To be frank, we would have been much further ahead without the pandemic, but despite this, the position my company had reached in 2020 was enough for me. If you ask why, there is such a thing as a pandemic and you are still trying to produce. In addition, many countries were experiencing quarantine due to the pandemic. If we take into account the first half of 2021, I can say that we are progressing in line with our target at the moment, but I foresee that we will be better in the second half of the year.

We produce in European standards and we can give a lifetime warranty to our products because we use stainless steel.

What kind of targets has Aqua Zone set for the short, medium and long term?

First of all, I must say that we want to have a say in Europe and America, and if you want to have a say here, you need to be able to respond to the needs in the production context. That’s why we want to increase production volume as much as possible. Expanding our models is also one of our goals. We are already constantly making new products, but the models we will make in the future will be at a level where we can compete with our competitors in Europe. I think this will make us a more valuable company. We want to support the production capacity with a new and big factory.
