ŞİRZAT SUBAŞIGeneral Manager of AGT

My Esteemed Friends,Distinguished Members of the AGT Family,

We have left behind the first three months of 2017 which we began with great expectations after 2016 during which our country experienced all kinds of negative developments and went through great difficulties. Although this period is such a period during which the industry is generally stagnant and the season has not started yet, developments we observe in the market give the signs that this year will be a better year than 2016. And hopefully, 2017 will be such a year. We, as AGT, continue our moves that will further reinforce our industry leading position and will distinguish us as a point of choice for our dealers.Training for Masters initiated by AGT for the first time in the industry continues rapidly in accordance with our plans.

Today, 2200 Flooring Masters have received AGT training across Turkey and become a Brand Ambassador as an effective force of our brand in the field. On the other hand, although we are a new manufacturer in flooring area with AGT brand, we are pleased to be one of the most important brands of Turkey in

this product type with the demand shown to our products and with our efficient dealer structuring.

Now, we have begun to offer 10 mm ‘’Concept’’ flooring both to Turkey and export markets by further developing the flooring product range. I believe this product will bring a significant sales momentum for AGT brand and our dealers.

On the other hand, I believe that the AGT Showroom opened in Istanbul/Ikitelli will be an important bar and a different threshold for the industry. This place is aimed to serve as a laboratory where each of our products will be presented and introduced to our dealers as well as different buyer groups.

In addition to these developments, I would like to congratulate all distinguished women of the AGT family on March 8, International Women’s Day once again. Please accept my regards and love with the hope that may 2017 bring health, happiness and wealth to all of us.

We spent both an enjoyable and adventurous day in the ski resort located on the northern slope of Mountain Davraz, one of the mountains surrounding Isparta Plain, together with our 86 colleagues and their families on Sunday, February 12.

Our colleagues who got rest during sausage-bread party after tobogganing toured ski lines by ski lifts.

Could you tell us about yourself briefly? I grew up a child of a large family with many uncles and aunts where I had the opportunity to see a few of my cosines wherever I used to go in the past. Now, when I look at the current situation, I consider my son lucky who is growing with his friends in a technology-crowd environment because he has caught the beginning of a period in which technology spreads rapidly. I often spend my rest, touring times with my family and friends. In particular, activities that I do with my son gives me a lot of energy because their generation is very enjoyable and different.

Can you tell us about your story of being employed by AGT? I met AGT for the first time 11 years ago with an ERP project. It was the period we started to create the ERP culture. My ERP adventure started with business practices management in 2012 and continued until 2016. My new duty in which I would use my knowledge and experience I have acquired so far was the manager of IT governance and PMO.

What are your dreams and goals for 2017? I can say that 2017 is a year of project in and transformation for me. It is of course very exciting because projects that we have imagined especially in Digital Transformation and that we have started their preliminary works focus on different thinking cultures. My goal and source of motivation in 2017 is the realization of our projects to offer good services to people and that our projects become a source for new transformations in AGT.

How do you see the future of AGT? When I look at today from the past, I believe that a large organism that I have been a part of its development will grow and even be an industry pioneer, because I can see the point that labours/ideas of my colleagues have brought us and the point that skills developed and acquired will take us thereafter.

We have celebrated the “International Women’s Day, March 8” recently. As a female manager, what would you like to say about the position of women in business life? First of all, I would like to say that although the number of female employees in AGT increases gradually, we need more female employees in the management positions. I believe that different points of view of women are needed and that we can be stronger together. I am in the opinion that women demonstrate their existence not with properties attributed to them, but their own properties and that women see the fact that different properties make us stronger will actually strength the successful position of women.

IT Governance and ProjectManagement Office Manager

ÜMMÜHAN MURTAZA Cleaning Staff

Could you tell us about yourself briefly? I was born in Haskızılören Village/Antalya. I moved to the city centre when I was married in 1996. I got breast cancer in 2013. I survived after one-year treatment. I have two children and have been working in AGT from 2014. I am employed in the Door and Profile Department and doing cleaning and serving works.

Can you tell us about the story of being employed by AGT? I met AGT thanks to the disability employment project of ISKUR. I came here three times to have interviews with different people.

Later, they phoned me that I was accepted for the position. I was very happy.

What are your dreams and goals for 2017? I survived a very tough disease. So, first I want health and peace with my family. I also pray for AGT to grow bigger. This is my second family.

How do you see the future of AGT? AGT is a very big and appreciable company. I have no doubt that we will grow bigger every year. It makes me proud to be a part of it.

We have celebrated the “International Women’s Day, March 8” recently. As a female employee, what would you like to say about the position of women in business life? It is very important for a woman to stand on her own feet in this life. For this, a woman’s husband is supposed to be of great help in houseworks. For example, me and my husband share the houseworks at home which makes our working life easier. I have not seen in any other workplace the level of value given to women in AGT. In AGT, they remember all of our special days and approach every matter with sensitivity.

INTERVIEW TRAVEL

SEİT AZERİ

Could you tell us about yourself briefly? I was born in 1978 in Iran. I have been living in Istanbul for 34 years. I am married and I have one daughter and one son. I graduated from Anadolu University Foreign Trade Department. I have worked in sales departments in different companies and in different sectors since 1998. I worked as a sales director in Evyap Sabun A.Ş. before my employment in AGT. I started working as Project Sales Manager in AGT in 2010 and later, I was appointed as dealer sales manager. After serving in this position for five years, I was appointed as Marmara/Europe Regional Sales Manager.

Can you tell us about the story of being employed by AGT? AGT’s signboard and warehouse on the road I used on my way home in Istanbul drew my attention. I was taking a strong shine from it each time I passed in front of it. I did a research about the company out of my curiosity. AGT is a company based in Antalya and has a warehouse and showroom in Istanbul. One of the things I have learned in an innovation-driven company was what AGT did stand for. (Technology that Develops Wood) The company, founded in 1984, has noticed the importance of development and technology and has made them the name and brand of the company. That had a big influence on me.

I asked myself the question: Can I work in AGT, and

not long after (after 3 days) I saw their sales executive post in a newspaper. I made my application with a great excitement. The next day, I was invited for interview, and I have joined the AGT Family after the third interview.

What are your dreams and goals for 2017? (You can mention sales targets) We have entered 2017 with great expectations leaving a tough year behind. We want to achieve successes together with my team in a market growing with each passing day with our dynamic structure and brand strength. We will bring our Panel and Powergloss products making a difference in the industry and adding value to furniture to forefront for interior designers, furniture designers and in projects. We, as the Marmara/Europe Region, achieved a growth of 28% in 2016 compared to the previous year. Our goal is to achieve a growth of 37% in 2017 and to create happy and profit-making dealers by keeping satisfaction in forefront while achieving this growth.

How do you see the future of AGT? Shaping the industry of furniture components with its leading and innovative identity, AGT runs from success to success with its modern production technology, vision, brand strength, R&D, P&D works and employee quality. AGT will be a company growing with each passing day by doubling its trend that is always followed in the industry and inspires other industries.

We have had a pleasant interview with Seit Azeri, our Marmara/Europe Sales Manager.

GOLD-DOMED CAPITAL: KIEV

Kiev where the first traces of life dates back 10 thousand years was founded in the bank of the Dnieper River located in the northern Ukraine. The Independence Square, called Maidan Nezalezhnosti, is the centre of the capital. Kreşçatik Boulevard of 1.5-kilometre-long connecting to the Square is almost always active and moving. The Boulevard where the city’s most prestigious cafés, restaurants and stores line up is cheered up with music, dance and pantomime performances. Churches gleaming with their golden domes are the most remarkable buildings of the Kiev panorama. Podil Hill offering one of the most beautiful views of the city is reached by a century-old funicular. The Andriyivis Uzviz Ramp here is a pleasant route where painting workshops and souvenir sales booths line up. We should add that it is very easy to tour the city with the developed extensive subway network.

HERO CITY: ODESSA

Odessa, referred to as the Pearl of the Black Sea, is a historic port city. Awarded with the title of hero city In 1945, Odessa is proud of it. The first thing that comes to mind when you speak of Odessa is perhaps its famous ladders. The ladders which was made a subject to a movie titled ‘’Potemkin Battleship’’ reach out the harbour. The Duc de Richelieu Monument, built in Roman style, is rising on top of the ladders built in the mid-1800s. The city which has a mild climate compared to the rest of the country is very popular in the summer for its long and beautiful beaches. The city was renovated entirely when it was controlled by the Russians in the 18th century. It is not surprising that Pushkin, the famous Russian writer, said about Odessa that “you can smell Europe there”. The city is reminiscent of Paris with its boulevards shaded by trees on both sides and classical and art nouveau structures.

LION OF UKRAINE: LVIV

Did you know that the Old Town in Lviv, situated in the west of Ukraine, is in the World Heritage List of UNESCO? Celebrating its 755th year, Lviv means lion in Ukrainian language. The city, one of the leading education cities of the Eastern Europe, is suitable for sightseeing in any season with its unique architectural texture and museums up to 50. The Market Square, called Rynok, in the Old Town is the city’s heart. The 65-meter magnificent clock tower is situated here. The surrounding area of the square is like an open air museum. The palaces, mansions and historic churches herein offer a variety ranging from baroque to renaissance.

The Historical Museum in Lviv serving in two historic buildings is just within walking distance. There are many cafés nearby. All are full to overflowing with young people. If you wish, you can take a coach tour on the wide boulevards remaining from the Habsburg Dynasty.


ONE COUNTRY, THREE CITIES:

ANOTHER FIRST FROM THE INDUSTRY-LEADER AGT:

Continuing its way with its global brand vision, AGT, the leading brand of furniture components, has initiated its digital transformation project in order to produce more effective solutions for customer demands and needs. Creating a road map for all departments from production to finance, from supply chain to marketing, the goal of AGT is to increase operational efficiency.

AGT that has started off with the vision of becoming a global brand that shapes wood with passion and technology and adds value to life has launched its digital transformation

process.

Projects teams have been created within the scope of the transformation for which alternative implementation proposals are determined for all departments from production to finance, from supply chain to sales-marketing. Business models will be re-designed in order to ensure that organizations evolve and respond to developments and stay up to date.

AGT has focused on sustainable growth, operational efficiency and institutionalization strategies under the new digitization process. The Company aims to create an efficient and ideal labour force with its high value-added, innovative products and services by increasing its brand perception and awareness in domestic and overseas markets based on a sustainable growth strategy and to strengthen its solid and strong capital infrastructure. Adopted the culture of continuous improvement with its operational efficiency strategy, AGT aims to be a company that improves employee satisfaction and company loyalty and has responsibility towards the environment and society by becoming a sustainable company at international norms.

The Company that opened the industry’s first R & D Centre last year focuses on project infrastructure based on technology, material and product development. It is planned to produce smart products with smart production lines under the digital transformation in production. The process will be completed with improvements that will take place step by step following enabling of the corporate competencies and development of the existing operations.

Şirzat Subaşı, the CEO of AGT, states the importance we, as the Company, attach to digitalization with the following these words:

“Our digitalization process will first begin in the sales and marketing departments and then, continue to be implemented effectively in all our departments. With this project, we aim to achieve a sustainable growth that is in accordance with our future strategies in line with our existing vision and mission by focusing on digitalization in products, processes and production.”

INTERVIEW

1 First of all, could you please tell us about yourself and your company?

The Company, Foks, is a 28-year old company. It was founded in 1991 in Kharkov City. We did not have much product varieties when we first started the business. We imported flooring only from Europe. We grew over time in parallel with our suppliers and today, we have reached the level of being able to work with AGT.

2Could you briefly tell us about your story of meeting with AGT?

We already saw AGT products several times in the market. When the AGT sales team contacted us, we agreed to meet with AGT without much thought. The AGT Sales Manager attended the meeting with their marketing materials. We found the marketing materials very creative, and we decided to work with AGT when the warmth of your staff and the Company’s budget allocated for marketing combined with product quality.

3Can you evaluate the year 2016 in terms of your company and industry? What are your

expectations for 2017?

As you know, the years 2015 and 2016 were not very bright years for Ukraine. Our trade volume across Ukraine decreased largely compared to the previous years due to the to war with Russia and political events. We worked very hard to revive it in 2016. An environment of confidence began to emerge from the third quarter of 2016 and the trade volume has begun to return to its old days with the rapid entry of European and Turkish companies to the market. Our expectation for 2017 is a minimum of 20% growth. Even sales volumes in January are indicator of this.

4Can you share your views and expectations about AGT?

As I mentioned before, AGT is such a company that has developed itself highly and emphasis on quality in terms of marketing materials. Our perception over the years has always been focusing on quality. You can find prices you want any time, but you cannot find quality at the level you desire every time. We, therefore, have always endeavoured to work with companies that hold the perception of quality at the centre of business. For this reason, we are extremely delighted to work with AGT. However, it will be very good for flooring dealers like us if AGT increases its colour options a little bit more for flooring products. Such an increase will move our existing volume with AGT to a higher level.

WE HAD A PLEASANT INTERVIEW WITH FOKS, OUR DEALER IN UKRAINE

We spoke with Foks, our Flooring Dealer in Ukraine, about the regional market and their future goals.
