The new service building of Adana Chamber of Commerce was inaugurated with a ceremony attended by M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu, President of the Union of Chambers and Commodity Exchanges of Türkiye (TOBB).
Speaking at the
ceremony, Hisarcıklıoğlu addressed ATO members and said, “Allah has given you
everything. There is nothing. Is there a sea? Yes. Is there agriculture? Yes.
Industry? Yes. Is there trade? Yes. There is everything. Chambers are the main
representatives and centers of our business world. They should become places
that add value to their cities, beautify them and produce services. With this
new service building, our chamber of commerce will continue to make greater
contributions to the development and enrichment of Adana's economy. Today Adana
has become a center of trade, industry, agriculture and education.”
Noting that 3 chambers,
including Adana Chamber of Commerce, have world-class quality, Hisarcıklıoğlu
explained the accredited chamber system.
Hisarcıklıoğlu said,
“It is necessary to reach a certain level for the standard of service quality
here. Just like in hotels, there are accreditation organizations that measure
service quality in our chambers worldwide. These are international
organizations. Do you know what the evaluation given by the international
independent organization to our 3 chambers in Adana is? 5 stars. This shows
that whatever standard the chambers and exchanges in Berlin and London serve
their members, these three organizations in Adana, including our Chamber of
Commerce, serve at this standard. May they please Allah,” he said.
- ATO President Yücel Bayram
Adana Chamber of
Commerce (ATO) President Yücel Bayram, who expressed his wishes for the new
service building to be beneficial, said, “ATO, which is a giant plane tree with
130 years of history, has worked with all its strength to strengthen the
economy of Adana and our country since its establishment and will continue to
work. I would like to express that every step we take is for our traders to
develop their trade in a better way. With the strength we have received from
the past, our efforts to take the members of our chamber further will continue
with more and more every year. Today, we are opening our very modern building
that will serve Adana for many years.”
Stating that they are
in cooperation with many institutions in order for the chamber members to carry
out their work faster, Bayram said that they have established a Chamber of
Certified Public Accountants liaison office, KOSGEB liaison office, UK visa
office, Schengen visa office, needs map and agricultural support office in the
new service building and that they will implement the e-commerce and grant
support information office as soon as possible.
After the opening,
Hisarcıklıoğlu came together with the Council Members at the Adana Chamber of
Commerce Council Meeting. At the meeting, sectoral problems and demands
experienced by the members were discussed.
