In
line with the company’s strategic plan for Ghana, the company has already
situated a warehousing facility to serve the filtration needs of Ghanaian
consumers and for export to other West African countries.
This
was announced by Mr. Selahatin Yilmaz, Board Member of Sampiyon Filter and
Industrial Inc., and also in-charge of the company’s domestic and international
sales and marketing activities.
“One
of the major important goals for us is that we will be able to export Made-in-Ghana
projects into Africa,” he stated at the launch of Sampiyon Filters in Kumasi.
Sampiyon
export field has grown to more than 75 different countries all over the world
and renowned as one of the largest private labeling filter supplier in Europe,
Africa and the Middle East.
According
to Mr. Yilmaz, the company’s investments would help create jobs as well as “benefit
Ghana’s economic growth, reduce the deficit of imports and exports and have
positive results on cost-reduction.”
Sampiyon
Filter has over 2500 different production range including air, oil, fuel
and hydraulic filters which are applicable for passenger, light, commercial
and heavy duty vehicles.
The
products were first introduced on the Ghanaian market in 2000.
“Ghana
is the number one promising countries in the whole African region and we’ve
been in the market for the last 30 years and we want to survive and keep
surviving with our Ghanaian friends,” Mr. Yilmaz tells Luv Biz Report.
Former
Majority Leader in Parliament, Alban Bagbin, who launched the product, wants
Ghana to learn from the Turkey’ experience to advance the local economy.
“One
of the things that we need to tap from Turkey is the fact that they were able within
10 years transform their country and here we have more resources than what they
have in Turkey, so we can do it,” he said.
