ŞİRZAT SUBAŞIHead of Sales and Marketing Group of AGT Dear Valuable Members of

AGT Family,

We are entering a very tough last quarter period, with the emergence of political issues rather than the economy Unfortunately, already dealing with terror this year, Turkey has faced a coupt attemp event which is one of the biggest betrayal in Turkey history and has tried to overcome the effects of this. I hope we will leave these problems behind us from now on and we will continue walking to reach bigger objectives.

Now, we’re looking to the future as AGT and as our industry. Despite all the adversities happened, I believe that Turkey’s economy which proven itself will go on attack in the following years.

As AGT, we have continued our work restlessly regarding doing business in Turkey as well as exportation during this term. All exhibitions we joined abroad, including USA, improved the recognition of our brand, and made a significant contribution to our market diversification goal. With the supports of The Turquality Program, we know and see that all export activities we do bring great benefits not only AGT brand, but also country’s economy.

Accordingly, we are happy to activate our sales offices in Iran and Dubai in order to be closer to the customers and to track the dynamics of the market.

We started the first “Flooring Master Training” program in our country in order to gain speed to flooring sales and raise the perception of AGT in the eyes of customers. We know that this is an important investment for our brand and it would be a decisive criterion for AGT preferences in the future.

I believe wholeheartedly that these days of the final period of the year,will be the beginning of better days to come and we are preparing our plans with the confidence that the commercial activity in the last days of the year will continue the same as in 2017. With these feelings, I wish you a healthy, happy and prosperous business in your work.

TRAVEL INTERVIEW

Firstly can you tell us about yourself and your company?

Our company was founded in 2004. Except small manufacturing activities, our main area is marketing. We continue our operations with our active six branched throughout Kazakhistan, two distributors and more than three thousand active dealers and customers In addition, we do cargo transportation from abroad to Kazakhstan.

The backbone of our business is sales and distribution of aluminum profile accessories, PVC profile accessories, furniture materials, furniture accessories. Besides being a distributor of well-known companies such as Asaşpen and Erpen, we are working with the AGT in the wood. also we are in cooperation with more than twenty companies in Turkey regarding accessories. We can say that we are one of the few companies in its own sector in Kazakhstan.

Can you tell your story briefly how you met with AGT?

Even before we work with the AGT, we were working with some companies from the wood industry in Turkey. Some friends working on behalf of AGT came to Kazakhstan and visited us. We decided to work together. Firstly we purchased one or two trucks of our actual needs as a trial. Then we completely decided to work with the AGT.

Can you evaluate the year 2016 in terms of your company and your industry?

There is no doubt that the global economic crisis worldwide is also affecting Kazakhstan In addition, the embargo applied by the European Union and America to Russia is concerning Kazakhstan directly or indirectly.

Economic crisis in Kazakhstan began in 2013 with the crisis in Russia and stillcontinues. Entering the last quarter of 2016, our hope is that the economy returns in normal market conditions and our trade accelerates.

Can you give some information about the state of the sector in the region?

As you know, Russia is the world’s largest wood and wood products manufacturers. As I mentioned above, price advantage returned to Russia due to economic crises. However, product quality of Turkish goods, especially in terms of AGT is having high quality. Looking at from this angle AGT products have advantage in Kazakhstan. The quality-conscious of the people is further developing day by day.

We wish that AGT makes production in Kazakhstan in the medium and long term. However there is no company which will be able to compete with AGT in this region.

What are your suggestions and views for us to provide you better services?

We are working with the AGT in the last two years. We have completed the process of a recognition of each other as partners. After thisprocess we aim to cooperate in actively. Kazakhistan is the heart of Central Asia, the Almaty is Kazakhstan’s commercial heart. Taking this into account, we wish AGT starts production planning in Kazakhstan in the medium and long term.

WE HAD A PLEASANT CONVERSATION WITH AR- JAN, OUR DEALER IN KAZAKHSTAN

We were with our dealer in KazBuild 2016 Fair...

” THE MIDDLE OF CENTRAL ASIA:

KAZAKHSTANSpreaded over a large area in Central Asia, Kazakhstan, as well as throughout history, an important crossroads in the Eurasian region today. Russia Federation take place in its North and West, China take place in its East, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan take place in its South. 6467 km border between Russia and Kazakhstan, is the world’s longest land border. It is the world’s 9th largest country with an area of 2.724.900 square kilometers of land, rich in natural resources.

Although Kazakhstan is stable and rapid developing country; transition from socialist economy to market economy and transition from socialism to liberal democracy in politics has not been easy. 50% contraction in the economy in the first years, capital failure, hyper-inflation and high unemployment, poor infrastructure and underdeveloped technological heritage made it difficult to produce in the short term solution. However, in the economy the presence of rich natural resources, in the politics the regulations brought by 1995 Constitution, has helped to overcome the difficulties. In Kazakhstan largest petroleum, uranium, iron ore, gold and lead reserves are directed to economic development and about 160 billion dollars in foreign direct investments achieved in the territory of Kazakhstan. The last 10 years the average growth of 8% in Kazakhstan, per capita national income of people increased from 700 Dollars to 12 Thousand Dollars. Finally, Kazakhstan was awarded to host EXPO 2017, which is shown one of the most important international organizations of the world, in the capital Astana.

The first capital of Kazakhstan, Almaty, is the largest city in the country with a population approaching 3 million. Also being the most beautiful city in Central Asia, Almaty is said to be an attractive culture and tourism center.

The history of the city of Almaty goes up to 1000 years B.C.The first farmers, came here and settled on those times. Later then, starting from the 700s of years B.C. Sakais came. A lot of monuments from Sakai has been brought to light in archaeological research held today. Especially,”Golden Man” clothing is very famous in Issyk Eairn. Being on the Silk Road , the city showed great improvements,in the Middle Ages and turned into an agricultural and commercial center. The name of the city is called “Almatu” in the book written in 13.th century. However, in the following centuries the Silk Road routes changes and the city is entered a standstill period.

The effects of the transition to a free market economy is quite evident today in Almaty. High investment projects for Building & Construction sector and international fairs have significant potential. We have experienced the happiness to represent our country one of those fairs, Kazbuild between 05-08 September 2016.
