While many economies have been unable to recover from the recent global financial recession, the Turkish economy expanded by 9.2 percent in 2010, and 8.5 percent in 2011, thus standing out as one of the few growing economies in Europe, and one of the fastest growing economies in the world. Turkey (population 80 million) has a diversified economy with strong manufacturing, especially in consumer durables and automobiles. Now Turkey registers as the 16th largest economy in the world and the 5th largest economy when compared with the EU countries, according to GDP figures in 2011.
Kubilay Yildirim, Country Manager of IPG Eurasia, directs operations of the office. Mr. Yildirim has experience in laser welding, cladding, drilling and cutting from his years working as a lead engineer in a global laser applications group with one of the world’s leading power generation turbine and aircraft engine producers. IPG Photonics Eurasia Lazer Ürünleri Satış ve Servis Hizmetleri Limited Şirketi, the official name of the Turkish office, is registered and is now conducting business.
