Niğdelioğlu Metal General Manager Bekir Niğdelioğlu:
“While the increasing energy costs and supplies problems in Europe have created an opportunity in terms of our country, the drop in demand in these countries poses a risk for the period ahead”


The pandemic followed by the Russia-Ukraine war, changed all the balances in the world and caused unpredictable developments. Our country has also been affected by these adversities, especially the increases in natural gas, electricity and transportation costs, which have forced us to revise our sales prices although we did not want to.                       
Due to increasing energy costs and supply problems in Europe, the production of many companies was affected and some even came to a standstill. While this created an opportunity for our country, the drop in demand in these countries poses a risk in the period ahead.                       
If we can compensate for this risk, we project that the rate of exports in our total sales will continue to increase.
