Sasa Polyester, which operates in the earthquake zone, announced on the first day of the earthquake that its facilities did not suffer any damage, said Dunya.
Ibrahim Erdemoglu, Chairman of the Board of Sasa Polyester, said in a statement to DUNYA that production activities continue at full capacity. Erdemoglu said, “We have been continuing our production activities uninterruptedly since the first day of the earthquake. We must continue production to support the region. We produce the fiber of the coats produced in Turkey, we also produce the raw material of the cologne handkerchiefs and diapers. For this reason, it is a necessity for the earthquake zone to continue production. Our last capacity works are continuing," he said.
Erdemoglu also said, “The opening of the stock exchange will not affect us. We don't look at the price of the stock, it doesn't matter to us whether it goes down or not," he said. Sasa Polyester has been helping the region since the first day of the earthquake.
The company provided AFAD with 130 thousand blankets, 100 thousand square meters of carpet and 100 million TL in cash. The company provided 10 thousand TL support to its 10 thousand employees.
We remind, Sasa Polyester has announced a licensing deal with Honeywell UOP for a 1m tonne/year propylene production plant based on propane dehydrogenation (PDH) technology. The agreement also covered technical service and warranty aspects of the USD1.5bn project to be constructed in the Yumurtalik investment area in Turkey’s southern province of Adana, Sasa added, when filing details of the deal with the Istanbul Stock Exchange.
Sasa said that it expected the contribution of the planned investment to its turnover would be USD1.2bn.
