Metal Makina Magazine Bursa Moulding 2007 Fair Conversation (29.10.2007)

Founded to display activity in the field of machining in 1997, Başaranlar CNC Makina Takım San. ve Tic. Ltd. Şti. rendered metal processing service to automotive supply industry.

Stating that they started to manufacture gangs with HASSTAK brand in the early 2000s, Başaranlar CNC General Manager Hamza Şenol Küçükgüzel, specifying as follows "Together with HASSbara brand, we manufactured adjustable boring sets for the first time in Turkey, " and adding that they manufactured not only the 'HASSbara ' microbore sets but also the ones operating between the diameter of 8mm and 152mm at the moment, in addition to the ALU series made of special alloyed aluminum that could be preferred in larger-diameter boring.

Also stating that they are well aware of the customer expectations from the adjustable boring sets, Küçükgüzel told us that they will be offering HASSbara Economy Series in the days to come in addition to the HASSbara Performance Series, further stating as follows "We are manufacturing Ø 5-6 mm ' and 80- 100-125 and 160 diameters under HASSkanal brand particularly for thin grooves within HASSTAK family. I have strong feelings that they are also ambitious and challenging in this field and that we are offering products to decrease import thanks to high quality brands with affordable prices. From now on, we seek to export our brands that have demonstrated their quality, hence contributing to our national economy; we are doing our best in this regard. "

Expressing that their ultimate target in Turkey is to enable HASSbara has the largest share on the market thanks to its high quality and economic prices in comparison to the imported articles, Küçükgüzel added that he believes they will take their part in the overseas market, particularly in those of neighboring countries soon, and also that HASSbara will be tremendous and breakthrough brand in Europe. He also said as follows "There are companies who manufacture customized cutting sets in Turkey. They are currently manufacturing in line with the demand. The Turkish companies are in a very good position in carbide milling cutter. What is more, there are products which grew to be a well-known brand abroad. There are certain preconditions for being included in the world's market. Generally, there is no doubt everybody knows that fulfilling the said terms in a complete fashion is quite difficult at the moment. Nevertheless, the Turkish companies are displaying a noble example of struggle. Provided that some challenging terms of production such as the tax burden of engagement, employers, withholding at the work place, high tax rates are removed, and the domestic manufacturer is supported with real contributions that facilitate the investment, I think the Turkish companies will be able to have a say in many fields with their skilled and smart task force.

In the beginning the Far East-origin merchandise affected the Turkish industry, however our country has now understood that quality costs less, and what costs more is the poor quality. I think the sector of cutting sets will grow and develop in Turkey in near future, and higher quality, more economic and reliable products to increase our country's prestige will come out. I also think that there will be some brands that have a say in the world's market. I strongly wish that the companies that manufacture in domestic field of cutting sets produce very high quality products so that Turkey becomes a leading brand. First our country name should mean quality and reliability, on hearing the words “Turkish good” one must feel the uniqueness just like in case of 'Japanese goods' and 'German goods'. This should be the ultimate purpose for all of us. We should work for and display in practice a sustainable quality and superior business ethics. Let's head towards the quality as an entire nation in Turkey so that we have reliable Turkish goods to sell and be proud of ".
