Elektra Electronics 40. Moving Towards Becoming an R&D Center

Elektra Elektronik, which is the leading company in the low and medium voltage transformer and reactor sector in Turkey in terms of production capacity, number of employees and export rate, continues its journey to become an R&D center with its factory that has doubled its capacity by renewing and reached 10 thousand square meters. Stating that they are focused on increasing the growth momentum in line with their new investment and export plans in 2020, Elektra Elektronik General Manager Emin Armağan Şakar announced that they plan to produce new generation electronic products with stronger R & D studies and to follow all business processes from production to warehouse follow-up from the cloud in this period when they step into the 40th year.

Elektra Elektronik, which has a deep-rooted history of 40 years in the field of transformer production and energy quality, is rapidly moving towards its goal of becoming an R&D center with its factory doubling as a result of capacity renewal. Elektra Elektronik, which produces on an area of 10 thousand square meters in its renewed factory, provides services for energy quality in the leading projects of many different sectors, especially in construction, rail systems, electrical, electronics, automation, robotics, iron and steel, machinery, crane industry, elevator, lighting, health, defense industry and maritime in Turkey and worldwide.

"We are among the few companies that attach importance to R & D studies in the electronics industry"

Stating that they declared 2019 as the "Year of Breakthrough" and expanded the production line in their factories, Elektra Elektronik General Manager Emin Armağan Şakar said, "With this move, we have made an investment that doubles the capacity of our factory and reaches 10 thousand square meters.We are among the few companies that carry out real R&D studies in the Turkish electronics industry. In 2019, our breakthrough year, we concentrated on projects with TÜBİTAK partners. One of the projects we realized in cooperation with METU and YTU has been approved, and the other is in the writing process. With these two TÜBİTAK TEYDEB (Technology and Innovation Support Programs Department) projects, we support industry-university cooperation projects. As a result of these studies, we aim to start the establishment process of "Elektra Elektronik R&D Center" in 2020."

"Our export volume is growing with our new investments"

Stating that they export domestic and national transformers and electronic products to nearly 60 countries in 6 different continents, Şakar stated that they added America to their export markets with the new investment of Elektra Elektronik and made the following statements: "In addition to Turkey, we have Elektra GmBH company in Germany and sales offices in China and America. We are the only company in Turkey with UL Certificate that makes it possible to export to America in the low voltage transformer and reactor sector. This year, we have taken South America, Asia Pacific and North Africa countries into our close brand. Our goal is to increase our export volume by 10 percent by increasing the number of countries we export to. In this direction, our investment and marketing researches related to the countries we believe in potential continue. In 2020, when we celebrate our 40th anniversary, we aim to increase our production volume, shorten product delivery times with fast and flexible production and maintain our leading position in the market. With the impact of growth, we plan to increase employment in our production, sales and R&D departments."

"We have produced Turkey's first and only domestic active harmonic filter"

Emin Armağan Şakar, who explained that they are the leading company in the low and medium voltage transformer and reactor sector in Turkey in terms of production capacity, number of employees and export rate, said, "Our products consist of three main categories: transformers, reactors and electronic products. Our transformer product line includes control transformers, isolation transformers, auto transformers and medical transformers. Our reactor product range is also very rich. These products are used in very important projects at home and abroad. Thanks to our government-supported R&D projects and our work carried out with our own resources, we stand out with our medium and high voltage filter compensation products, harmonic filtration solutions and static contactor fast compensation solutions. Turkey's first and only domestically produced active harmonic filter, which we produce as a result of our intensive R & D studies, is one of our products that make a difference. As a result of all these efforts, we aim to further increase the dominance of Turkish branded electronic products in the world markets."
