Dieffenbacher and Hanex have mutually ended their successful 27-year sales partnership on the Turkish market.
The partnership officially ends on June 30 and follows a period of Dieffenbacher establishing its own operations in Turkey and expanding its sales there beyond its Wood Business Unit to its other three business units: Forming, Recycling, and Energy.
Işık Zorcu, who joined Dieffenbacher in 2020 as a Project Manager for Turkey, will be appointed Director of the Dieffenbacher office in Turkey, effective July 1 and will be the main point of contact for all Dieffenbacher customers in Turkey.
In 2020, Dieffenbacher opened a liaison office, strengthening its market development efforts in Turkey with its own staff. In 2024, it took the next step by transforming the liaison office into an official subsidiary, named Dieffenbacher Makine Ticaret ve Servis Limited Şirketi.
Hanex General Manager Cihan Ayla Jr said he was confident both companies would continue to develop successfully on their respective paths and wished Dieffenbacher continued success in the future.
“The fact that we can look back today on almost three decades of a trusting partnership is anything but a given,” said Tilman Helmer, Area Sales Director at Dieffenbacher.
“We want to express our sincere gratitude to Hanex for this long journey together and the many successes we’ve celebrated together.
