Electric motors are one of the basic components used throughout the industry. There are electric motors in machinery equipment and all other industrial products.” said.
Stating that GAMAK meets a significant part of the engine need in the country and exports abroad with the capabilities it has developed, Varank continued his words as follows:
“Thanks to the experience they gained, they started to make a new production here. They also produce the generators of wind power plants, which we call windmills, in this facility. They produce generators for global and registered brands. They can produce 4 megawatt generators locally and nationally. They also produce 5 megawatt generators of their own design. They rolled up their sleeves.
I was very pleased with this visit. There is a significant need in the world, especially for electric motors. Technology and industries are transforming. It made me really happy that such a facility produces domestically and nationally in our country. “I have seen this capability, and from now on, we will benefit from our electric motor capabilities here regarding industry, localization and the National Technology Move in Turkey.”
