Varank indicated that the official opening ceremony of the factory is very soon.
It is the first plant of its kind to be produced in Turkey and it is expected that approximately 1000 people will be employed as the plant goes into full production.
Production base in Europe
Minister Varank stated about the secession of Turkey from other countries, saying:
Turkey’s production base is concentrated in durable goods such as cars and furniture.
International investors investing in Turkey in both production quality and timely commitment to the performance point have benefited from this confidence.
We have seen the most realistic example from the period of the epidemic, when many global companies increased their production in Turkey when they were restricted in countries.
Consideration should be given in this context to the world’s giant smartphone manufacturers to start investing in Turkey.

We are making intensive efforts under the leadership of our President to create the necessary investment environment.
These investments in the field of smart phones will also contribute to the formation of important competencies in our country.
Consequently, our local new technology supplier companies will be included in the ecosystem. ”
As Minister Varank stated, on social media regarding the visit:
The interest of international brands in our country is increasing day by day.
Oppo, a smartphone maker, has started trial production at its factory in Turkey with the CKD system in place.
