Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Turkey

Speaking at the opening of the ceremony, TOBB President Hisarcıklıoğlu said that he was honored to be in Denizli, Turkey's star city in a wide area from trade to agriculture and textiles to tourism, and that it is a brand city.

Reminding that they have officially opened the Denizli Merkezefendi TOBB Secondary School with 24 classrooms, Hisarcıklıoğlu said, “But we won’t stop here. Upon the request of our Denizli provincial and district Chambers and Commodity Exchanges, we decided to build more schools in 5 districts where there are Chambers and Commodity Exchanges in Denizli, namely Acıpayam, Babadağ, Buldan, Sarayköy and Tavas. May it be auspicious for Denizli.”

Hisarcıklıoğlu stated that they have opened the Arbitration and Mediation Center, which started to operate at the Denizli Commodity Exchange, and said, “Now, thanks to this center in Denizli, you will be able to resolve your commercial disputes both faster and cheaper.”

Hisarcıklıoğlu, stating that they have now opened the new service building of the Denizli Chamber of Industry, continued as follows: “This is also a work of vision. It is the work of a contemporary management approach that aims to serve its members in the best way and enrich its city. I am proud that our Denizli Chamber of Industry had built such a service building that was befitting this place and aimed to provide the best and highest quality service to its members. I wholeheartedly congratulate our Chamber President Müjdat Keçeci brother and his administration, our Council Speaker Mehmet Tosunoğlu and our council members, professional committees, general secretary and our working brothers who brought this beautiful work to life. I also appreciate that our Chamber increases its service capacity and quality with each passing day, interprets the problems of our members and makes every effort to solve their problems. The fact that our Chamber is accredited, that is, 5 stars, is a confirmation of this.”

Pointing out that the Chambers of Industry are the main representative offices of industrialists, the TOBB President said, “Therefore, they should become centers that add value to the city, beautify it and produce services. Our Denizli Chamber of Industry, together with this new service building, will continue to make even greater contributions to the development of Denizli. This would suit Denizli, which has already taken its place among the leading provinces of our country in industry and exports. Denizli is in the top 10 in exports. In industry, in the volume of production capacity in 220 products, it ranks 12^th among 81 provinces. Turkey is the leader in production capacity with 69 products. It ranks second in 77 products and third in 74 products. Again, in the list of the largest 500 industrial companies announced recently, 10 companies from Denizli were included. I wholeheartedly congratulate the real owners of this success, all our industrialists who invest and produce in Denizli.”

Hisarcıklıoğlu asked “What is the source of all this success of Denizli” and said, “The greatest power and wealth of Denizli is its people. What makes Denizli different is the entrepreneurial spirit and hard work of its people. I am proud of all our Denizli entrepreneurs separately. I wish you continued success.”
