Due to the Corona virus in 2020, the year of the pandemic was declared in the world.What have you done as a company during this time?

As a company, we have taken a series of health and hygiene measures from the beginning of the process, taking into account the recommendations of the Ministry of Health. First of all, we have provided an environment for our employees with age and health problems to work by allowing them to work or from home. Before the pandemic, we had no difficulty in adapting to the process because we had a strong IT infrastructure.

We have a wide product portfolio, we produce special cables. This gives us an advantage. The fact that we can serve many sectors such as shipbuilding, mining, railway, airport, crane in both domestic and foreign markets makes us advantageous against sectoral and regional crises and we have a chance to move. In this period, our production continued without decreasing and we always aim for the better by closely following new developments and putting them into practice. Marketing Md. Assist. We gave his opinions about the company's work with Onur Serhat GÜNAN during the pandemic process.

In this context, by stating that we have ISO 27001 certification, our digital security measures were already ready for our employees' work from home. Afterwards, we implemented rotating work programs in our other employees. We have been in an office environment with as few employees as possible. Of course, although we apply mask and social distance rules in the office environment, we have encouraged the use of disinfectants and disposable products, postponed our meetings or moved them online, temporarily banned guest entrances and exits, made daily temperature measurements of all our staff, carried out disinfection procedures in all office environments, dining halls and services, and switched to the use of visors in environments where close distance work is mandatory.

During the production phase, we organized working with minimum staff in our shifts and revised our shift hours.

Finally, in line with the proposals of the Ministries, we have made all our employees and subcontractors tested for Covid-19 and we have received a result that makes us happy with zero cases.

This process will have contributions to commercial life. We can exemplify it as digitalization, e-commerce, etc. I think that companies that adapt quickly can catch advantages. Some habits that took place in the past will change, they have to be like this, at least for a while, visits, fairs, trips will decrease in number, and these will provide cost advantages in the first place and maybe make it permanent.

What are your thoughts on the reflections of the process on the electricity sector?

As in every sector, a recession was inevitable in the electricity sector. Since we have the orders we have received, our production has continued unabated, and we continue to work to avoid decreases in the coming months. It is obvious that 2020 will not be better than 2019, there may be a accumulated demand in the market that has come to a halt during this quarantine period, we think that there will be some movement in the market with the normalization process. We hope that at the end of this normalization process, a cure will be found for this epidemic and we will return to our normal flow in both health and other areas.
