Cenk Ceylan says: "With the growth performance we have achieved, Rockwell Automation Turkey became the centre of attention at our global headquarters and was rewarded as the fastest growing country."

Mr Ceylan continues: "The automation systems we have developed can be integrated into different systems and different brands in Turkey. Thus, we offer both a cost advantage to our customers and provide services for all needs. In Turkey, we first began our operations by providing services to global brands. And since 2008, we have been providing service to the important local brands of Turkey. Among our key customers are world's giants such as Coca Cola, Good Year, P&G, Nestle and Unilever.
