How did your company enter in the sector from shuttled looms?

I had started in a tailor’s shop as an apprentice during my childhood in 1969 when my family has moved to Istanbul.

I worked as a maintenance master in carpet weaving factory on shuttled looms. Then I got promoted to operation chief position in a famous factory than I transferred to a couple of other companies firt at Epengle Upholstery Fabric Factory in 1989 and later at Vefateks in 1994 and promoted up to the position of production planning chief. Then I worked as procurement manager in Marmara Mensucat and in 2007 got a job in Aydin Tekstil where I served as Operations chief and weaving director for five years. Then I founded my own company to trade my years of experiences in the sector, two years ago.

How long have you been in the sector as Basoglu Tekstil?

Oficially we have been in the sector for two years. Until then I had activities in the sector as freelance.
