8th Award in a Row in the Same Category

Alarko Carrier has thus achieved significant recognition by winning this award in the same category for 8 years in a row. Making no concessions on hygiene requirements, efficiency and safety, Alarko Carrier continues to offer “real comfort” in all kinds of environments inhabited by human populations in today’s conditions where the quality of interior air quality is more important than ever due to the Covid-19 outbreak. Alarko Carrier produces solutions meeting the requirements of its customers both in nearly 65 countries to which it exports and the domestic market in which more than fifty air-handling unit producers carry out their operations. Offering solutions to its customers with its life-cycle cost approach rather than focusing on the initial investment cost and making no concessions on quality, it certifies its success in this field with the awards it wins.

“Turkey has a huge growth potential in air-conditioning exports”

Pointing out to the export strategy developed by the Company, Cem Akan, General Manager of Alarko Carrier, said: “We focused on products with higher added value in terms of exports in 2020, increasing the share of exports in our revenue to 17%. This increase in our exports has had a positive impact on our balance sheet in general, in parallel to the increase in foreign exchange rates.” Talking about also the role of Turkey in exports in the air-conditioning industry, Akan said: “Turkey has a share of 1% in the global air-conditioning industry in terms of exports, with an export volume of 4.7 billion USD in 2020. Still, considering its advantages such as its young population, geopolitical position, and availability of qualified employees, we can comfortably claim that it has a high growth potential in future.”
