Successful implementation of a business idea.
Turkey is a sea-faring nation with a millennium of shipbuilding
behind it. In a nondescript industrial industrial building, typical
of the more prosperous areas of Istanbul, innovative
products have been created for the past five years: «Turbotsan
» has been building boats made entirely from plastic.
The original idea came to Burcin Yaslan, the owner of
«Turbotsan», thanks to his exposure to inflatable Zodiac
boats. He wanted his boat design to be sturdier than the
German originals. The question, however, was which tools
to use to weld the plastic and how could the critical weld
quality be achieved? He who seeks shall find: Burcin Yaslan
came across Tokgöz-Makina, and subsequently discovered
the perfect tools for his application from Leister, which he
could use to turn his dreams into reality. Leister sales partner
for Turkey, Mahzar Tokgöz, carried out welding trials
with Burcin Yaslan and introduced him to Leister’s innovative
extrusion welding technology. Following this introduction to
Leister, the first boat was successfully fabricated and floated.
