We All Stand United in Defending Our Republic and Democracy

We extend our condolences to the families of the martyrs who lost their lives in the coup attempt against democracy, constitutional order, and the unity and integrity of our country on the night of 15 July 2016, and wish speedy recovery to the wounded. We sincerely believe that by standing together with the Turkish Republic and our democracy, united as one, and strengthening our solidarity even further, we will overcome these difficult times. PCCI (Paints, Building Chemicals, Insulation) Magazine will reach you, our valued readers, with its renewed format starting with this issue. With this new issue of our magazine, you will have the opportunity to read the first part of our series titled "Construction Sector Perspective from Building Supply Stores." You will enjoy the interviews we conducted with KYK Building Chemicals General Manager and Board Chairman C. Onur Sürmeli and Sözer Makina Production Director T. Emrah Sözer. Stating that they have always achieved consistent growth by taking the right steps, Onur Sürmeli explained that they regard quality as their management philosophy. T. Emrah Sözer, pointing out that their success in exports is an indicator of Sözer Makina's quality, stated that as a company, their goal has always been to create differentiation through high-value-added machinery. In our July-August issue, we featured "Interesting Structures Pushing the Boundaries of Architecture" in our Architecture section. I recommend reading the brief histories of these fascinating structures, which were built for different purposes. 17 years have passed since the 17 August 1999 earthquake… Living healthily in reliable buildings constructed with proper insulation and under expert supervision is everyone's most natural right. We hope we will not face such tragedy again. Happy reading, Stay well and with love.
