Emerging market: neighbour Turkey
After economy and banking crisis in the past years today economy is quite steady, there are investments and consume. Even KAPO benefited from this and is already since years with its windows and doors made out of wood successfully represented on the Turkish market.
KAPO leads its own selling agency in Istanbul and has access to a whole network of architect´s contacts.
“Some big reference projects in Istanbul´s main markets Ankara and Bodrum with lift and slide- as well as immersible window-constructions already got realized.
For 2011 there are even now some bigger orders”, KAPO´s export manager Alfred Kothgasser, who represented KAPO at the “Fokusprogramm Türkei” of the WKO in March.
Especially strong in the ascendant are construction projects in sector of governmental buildings, hotels and luxurious private residences. Special requests like windows, which are immersible in the wall or are made out of burglary-resistant and bulletproof glass, are counting with exclusive clients.
KAPO´s manager Wolfgang Bertl has many experiences in the Turkish market: “In Turkey the high technical quality our windows, doors and facades is very high appreciated.
There are hardly any companies which have the possibility to produce historic wooden facades from heritage-protected residences on the Bosporus like KAPO.
Due to our experience in collaboration with architects and the realizing of projects in Turkish demands, are we the perfect partner.” KAPO´s objective is to expand the Turkish market and to double the dealings the next two years.
