School Opening in Hatay

After the devastating earthquake on February 6 that brought sorrow to our nation last year, we first visited Hatay on April 23 to bring some joy to the region and established a heartfelt connection with Hatay Serinyol Primary and Secondary School. We stood by them once again during the opening of their new container school in the new term. After our school suffered severe damage from the earthquake and was demolished, it was reopened as a container school with donations from the Akut Association. As the Izeltaş family, we reunited with our students in Hatay on February 5 for both the anniversary of the earthquake and the school opening. Along with meeting the school’s needs, we delivered gifts to the students who were excited to start the new academic year after a long break.

We Turned Orange

On Saturday, December 16, we volunteered for the tangerine harvest at the Lösev Seferihisar Natural Life Farm. Joining the harvest of tangerines, whose proceeds go to Lösev, our volunteer team connected with nature, touched goodness, and revived hope from the branches. Additionally, by purchasing the tangerines we harvested, we contributed to the health and education expenses of the children. Leukemia is not contagious, but goodness is.

As Izeltaş family, affected by the earthquake

We stand by our citizens.

As the Izeltaş family, we supported the “Izmir is Running to Help” campaign, which was initiated under the leadership of EBSO, IZTO, 1TB and EIB and carried out with the cooperation of Izmir Chambers/Exchanges, non-governmental organizations and 16 OIZs.

From the first day, we worked in coordination with AFAD and tried to meet the needs of hand tools in the earthquake zone by sending all the relevant hand tools in our factory stock. 
Our professional friends, who supports team for search and rescue efforts, continue to work in the earthquake area, and we continue to deliver the stoves and tents that we produce in our factory in coordination with the earthquake victims.

We will continue to work sensitively on the continuity of our aid on this difficult and long road.

The New Production Area of Our Turgutlu Factory

During the pandemic process, European companies have turned their direction to production locations that they see as more reliable and quality, with the loss of confidence in the Chinese Market. Thanks to our reliable brand in the tool cabinets and tool box industry, we have turned the situation into an advantage and increased our order levels considerably. Due to the quality and customer satisfaction-oriented growth in our Turgutlu factory in the last few years, we started to have production problems even though we are a newly established factory. Now we all needed “more room for more performance”. Built in a construction period of just seven months, the additional production facility was fully operational approximately 13 months after the groundbreaking ceremony. A completely redesigned workflow alongside the new machinery and SAP software will now allow us to set up even more efficient processes. With this support from our Board of Directors, we increased our production capacity by approximately 70%. With the new technological line investments, we have achieved both a faster and higher quality production opportunity. Of course, environmental considerations and optimal working conditions for employees were not neglected during the new building. Energy-saving lighting in the working areas and heating systems were installed in all production areas so that our personnel would not experience difficulties on cold days. In addition, by turning to renewable energy sources, which is one of the most efficient ways to reduce the carbon footprint, the SPP (Solar Power Plant) application was started. In this way, we will be able to supply all our electricity needs from solar energy. In 2023, we will take our dream of being at every point in every geography where hand tools and tool cabinets are used one step further.
