     Ömer Dalgakıran 

    Dear Dalgakıran employees and valued business associates,

    I laid the foundations for Dalgakıran Kompresör in a small shop covering 30 square meters in the Perşembe Market in Karaköy. Back then, I was using my lathe to repair and manufacture broken-down machinery whose spare parts could not usually be found in our country, and as a result, I strengthened my bond with machinery. Just as in every period of my life, I managed to overcome many difficulties at this time through hard work. This selfless effort resulted in me having a greater work capacity and more workbenches.

    With this my first growth, I moved to a larger shop in Topkapı. It was here that I and my workmates at the time manufactured screw compressors, considered state-of-the-art technology back then in the 1980s. We later moved to the İMES Industrial Park where we made screw compressors. Sometime after that, we started conducting international operations with the large support of my children, now Dalgakıran Kompresör’s second generation of directors, and we established our plant in Sancaktepe in 1990. My children’s different virtues and perspectives allowed us to think in multiple directions back then and tackle the challenges we faced more quickly. Our company grew over time along those lines and today we are in the position of being Türkiye's largest manufacturer and exporter of industrial compressors.

    Although I have recounted this 55-year adventure as a success story, another thing I remember well is all the pessimistic comments and negative thoughts we encountered whenever we shared our dreams of being where we are today with those around us. But neither these comments nor the adversities we encountered during our growth were enough to deter us from making this journey. No adversity could withstand our selfless and relentless efforts and hold us back. It is here that I want to say that developing the right strategies and taking risks in addition to doing every job excellently no matter what and keeping our promises were valuable, key elements behind our success today.

    We are proud of our company’s steady growth and the contributions we are making to the Turkish industry and the national economy. I fully believe that our progress so far and into the future, adhering to the values we hold, will carry us to more and even greater achievements. I thank each and every member of the Dalgakıran Kompresör family who shares in this faith and resolve for their contributions and I wish them success in their work.
