Founded in Istanbul in 2010, CHIRON Turkey initially supported CHIRON Group customers with global operations at its sites in Turkey. The company now has three branches and has developed into a partner that is sought-after both by international and local companies, as well as being an attractive employer. Serkan Ozcan, the company's General Manger, believes this is because, »Employee satisfaction is very important to us. This is the only way of ensuring that they complete their work successfully and with dedication, and that they provide our customers with the best possible support, from Izmir in the south west of the country to Trabzon in the north east by the Black Sea.«

General Manger Serkan Ozcan

Hard work deserves to be celebrated! On August 14, 2020, the teams first met in Izmir for the official part of the celebrations. Serkan Ozcan took stock of company's past ten years of success and thanked everyone for their work. Next on the agenda was an excursion to the visit the cultural highlights of the Izmir region – while, of course, complying with all coronavirus safety precautions. They set off for Ephesus, one of the oldest and most important cities in Asia Minor in ancient times. They wandered around the historic center and visited the House of the Virgin Mary, a site of pilgrimage for Muslims and Christians. Having finished the cultural part of the trip, they then traveled to the village of Şirince, where they sampled some very special melon and black mulberry wines and raised their glasses to many more successful years to come. Şerefe! Cheers!

Customers:
The majority of the customers are international car manufacturers and suppliers. The CHIRON Group's manufacturing solutions are also used in tool manufacturing, medical technology, mechanical engineering and the aviation industry.

A key factor in the positive development of CHIRON Turkey has been the further training offered to its employees. Despite global economic uncertainty, the company is investing in various further training measures, including courses in programming, languages and sales strategies, with the goal of providing customers with even better and more targeted support in the future.

Objectives:
Over the next few years, CHIRON Turkey plans to generate more new business in industries other than the automotive industry. However, the complicated processes for imports make any investment in this area difficult at the present time. General Manager Serkan Ozcan hopes that these processes will be simplified so that the company can serve the existing demand from various industries.
