“Our footwear components industry has a highly technological and up-to-date dynamic”, stated the AYSAD Chairman of the Board of Directors Sait Salici, emphasizing the good performance of the sector in 2022. “Last year, we achieved 1 billion 300 million dollars in export value. The European Union countries that have procured substantial amounts of products from the Far East until now started to turn to our country with a high geographical advantage for all their short-term needs with lower volume”, he added.
