Second-hand tanning machines holding back Turkish technology providers
23/11/2015
Ersan Kursesi, owner of the Ermaksan Machinery Company, has said Turkish manufacturers, including Vardar, Ozdersan and his own company, have the capability to manufacture classical fleshing, shaving and buffing machines, as well as larger machines for whole hides, and are receiving orders from emerging markets such as Algeria and Bangladesh.
“But we are being held back by the availability of reconditioned old machines from tanneries in Europe that have closed down,” he said in recent comments. “Their low prices are reducing our capacity.” He said the only consolation is that this phenomenon is also affecting the Italian manufacturers that are the Turkish companies’ competitors.
