In 2016, we have allocated our Balıkesir and Eskişehir plaza buildings to MAN brand and today, we have added our Bursa facility to that list. Our facility can simultaneously serve 30 vehicles with an indoor space of 6.000 square meters. Located 1 kilometre from the highway, the project and interior design of our facility has been carefully prepared by fully taking MAN's corporate identity guidelines as basis, from the spare parts department to office spaces and workshop areas. Aside from sales, we will employ 50 expert personnel in the vehicle registration, vehicle diagnostics, mechanics, electrics and bodywork departments of our service facility. MAN is one of the most important players of the commercial vehicle segment with its quality, product variety, investments in our country, success in sales and after-sales services, and its second-hand organizations. So, I have complete faith that this journey of commerce of ours with MAN, shall continue for many years. Our TGE model light commercial vehicle that is currently exhibited among today's MAN models on display, has been introduced to our customers for the first time in our country and I wish that it will bring prosperity to the customers in our country, along with the entire MAN family."

Tuncay Bekiroğlu continued: "Due to 50th anniversary of our presence in Turkey, we began this inauguration ceremony with a movie we've prepared. It was a movie that shared details from the first days of TRT's broadcast to the construction of Turkey's so-called four-season roads and from days of Europe's transition to Euro currency to what MAN has done in Turkey throughout that period. We have a very long history in Turkey. We've crossed our 250th anniversary in the world and our half a century mark in Turkey. MAN commercial vehicles group also has its contribution to this 52-year period when Turkey made its leap and became one of the largest economies of the world. In addition, this contribution is not only limited to MAN commercial vehicles group as the contribution of our valuable business partners that took us among the most important institutions of Turkey, are also highly important. In terms of customer satisfaction, MAN Turkey has become the number one branch that provides the highest customer satisfaction around the world. Thanks to this new facility, I have complete faith that we shall maintain our first place and that we will even advance a bit further. On this occasion, I would like to express my thanks to the most valuable Koçaslan Family that has contributed the facility to our community and helped us look more confidently towards the future and wish them prosperity."
