Kayabaşı stated that they have increased their R&D staff by 35 percent in the last two years and Assan Hanil achieved significant success through these studies, and he said: “Assan Hanil, is on the way to become a world brand with its seats produced via cutting edge technology. We are the one and only company in Turkey that produces seats in partnership with THY. Plane seats that are developed in Assan Hanil R&D center brought us the privilege of being the only approved supplier of Airbus and Boeing. By this we also contribute our country economy via decreasing the seat import. We expand our expertise in car seats. We developed driver and passenger seat (ASD) with air suspension, which are used in bus and trucks. I believe our agreement with Ford Otosan on ASD will improve our current know-how. We have flexible production capabilities that are close to our customers. We plan to make a 40 million Euros investment and open a production facility for ASD in the mid term. We continue our feasibility studies for this and we aim to increase our global market share to 15 percent for air suspended driver seats in the mid term.
