Message from the Chairman of the Board

The recent years we have experienced have been dynamic and challenging years, with many saddening events deeply affecting us both in Turkey and the world, economic difficulties and political tensions shaping the conjuncture, and the effects of climate change and natural disasters being felt greatly. Humanitarian crises and geopolitical problems that we cannot reconcile with the values ​​of the 21st century have reminded us once again how much we, as a world, long for mutual respect and empathy. Global geopolitical uncertainties have brought with them many negativities, from the cost of doing business to consumer prices. While crisis management used to be an element of our work in the past, it has now become an indispensable part of our lives. In this order, ‘being flexible and agile’ and ‘being able to manage emotions well’ have now become one of the most prioritized competencies.

First of all, humanity needs to stop drowning in this chaotic environment and focus on how we can build a better World for the future, and how we can increase the future welfare and employment of our youth and children. The unity and solidarity we have seen in many negative situations such as earthquakes, floods, and wars have created a picture that shows how tightly we can unite in difficult times. The fact that we can be in such solidarity and organization if we want is a sign of good days for the future. We always wish to be an active player in this struggle that our country has given, which cannot be ignored.

On the other hand, the rapid transformation of humanity and the world order, the brand new products of technology, and the innovative developments in artificial intelligence fuel our excitement for the future. We are moving forward with cautious, solid and confident steps in the exams we need to give for the sustainability of many concepts in the world and in our country.

As Valter, we continue to be one of the companies that stand the most solidly against all kinds of negativities brought by the conjuncture with our new and durable business models, high engineering studies, strong financial and operational infrastructure, and competent staff who can adapt to changing conditions quickly and agilely. Investing in innovation, digitalization, sustainability goals and areas that will allow us to offer better to our consumers constitute our main building blocks. We compete with world brands by conducting our activities on customer satisfaction and compliance with international standards. We offer our services to all of Europe with Valter Europe by taking our stable success graph and global position to higher levels. In 2025; we will focus on increasing our capacity utilization rate by using the competitive advantage provided by our scale, efficiency and cost structure, increasing the share of our special products and services in our turnover, and expanding our global commercial network with new products. In addition, as we leave the 100th anniversary of our Republic behind, with the power we receive from our half-century-old deep-rooted history; we will continue to add value to our Republic, Turkey and the world economy for a bright new century.

I would like to thank all our stakeholders who believe in, trust in and contribute to us on behalf of Valter.
