Speaking at the meeting held by the Susurluk Chamber of Commerce and the Susurluk Commodity Exchange, TOBB President M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu praised the city for their application to get the geographical brand for the Susurluk Toast and emphasized the importance of branding. Hisarcıklıoğlu, “This is how trade marking begins. If you want to earn 10 times what you do now, trade mark your business, province and county.”
TOBB President Hisarcıklıoğlu touched on subject of branding and partnership culture at the Joint Meeting in Sususrluk. Stating that the partnership culture has never quite reached desired levels, Hisarcıklıoğlu said, “The world’s top companies are merging. When the two of you get together what happens is 1+1=3. We form partnerships very well in poverty but whenever we find a little money we go our separate ways. Everybody comes together in prosperity while we separate.” The TOBB President suggested that those wishing to expand to form partnerships with their competitors in the same business.
