Our country, due to its geopolitical position, is a unique and exceptional country in the world. This is because of the significance of its close commercial relationships with Europe and even America, as well as the brotherly and cultural ties with the Middle East. With the growing importance of financial markets, Turkey has become a new financial hub, attracting not only domestic investors but also foreign investors who can safely invest in our financial market. It is only by fulfilling the responsibilities that each of us holds that our dynamic and ever-evolving country can have a voice on the world stage.
Since the start of the production of the first mini gold bars in our country (which I believe should be more accurately referred to as ‘Investment Gold’ for both production and service purposes), along with other valuable refinery establishments, I am delighted that we have quickly gained access to foreign refineries that have been producing for centuries. However, due to a lack of systematic infrastructure based on a proper understanding of key national principles, and because of solutions that are temporary, short-sighted, and focused on immediate gratification, the competition between Turkish refineries and strong foreign refineries remains challenging.
The very reason for our company's existence and its future ambition is to complete the existing systemic deficiencies, demonstrate what is right for our country, and educate our people.
Since the establishment of ISGOLD Gold Refinery, based on the knowledge, experience, and strong, sincere business relationships I have cultivated in various countries across Europe and the world over many years, alongside our young and dynamic employees who embrace the company's vision and mission, our fundamental principle has always been to provide services that fill the gaps in our country, ensuring trust and satisfaction for all those we reach. This is more important to us than production and marketing.
In our company, where quality, service, and continuous improvement are a way of life, our goal is not only to meet expectations but to exceed them and create new ideas.
Best regards,
