AGT Introduces New Showroom Concept, Design Box

AGT, a company from the flooring and panel sector, has diversified its market by opening a new category in the wood-based panel sector with wall surface solutions, and presented its new showroom concept 'Design Box' to the appreciation of the furniture and decoration industry. AGT, which reaches its users in more than a thousand sales points across 5 continents with its products, introduced the new showroom concept. With its 500,000-square-meter state-of-the-art production facilities in Antalya Organized Industrial Zone, AGT (Technology Developing Wood) serves the furniture components sector through MDF, MDF-LAM, panel and profile production; the decoration sector through wall panels, wall profiles and surface moldings; and the construction sector through parquet and skirting board production.

More than 1,000 sales points across 5 continents

While AGT's designs find places in more than 1,000 sales points across 5 continents, the company develops technologies with corporately approved R&D expertise, 9 patents and utility models, more than 300 industrial designs and 420 product design registrations. As an important brand in the flooring and panel sector, AGT has diversified its market by opening a new category in the wood-based panel sector with wall surface solutions. As a brand that sets direction in its sector, AGT, by diversifying material variety and application categories particularly in panel and profile group products, develops ready-made solutions for the furniture and decoration sector. With this vision, the company aims to become a material supplier for prestigious interior design projects completed in shorter timeframes and high-value-added furniture. Within this scope, AGT designed and opened a new showroom concept 'Design Box' at its facilities, presenting it to the appreciation of the furniture and decoration industry and media representatives. With the Design Box concept, where trade fair experience is transferred to the showroom, AGT received the appreciation of its visitors. Participants subsequently toured the factory's production departments.

Exports half of its production

Ahmet Çetinkaya, Vice Chairman of AGT's Executive Board, recalled that AGT was founded in 1984 with a vision of wood development technologies. Noting that AGT transformed into a company producing more diverse and higher value-added products after 2000, Çetinkaya stated: "AGT soon began creating brands that add value to both our country and the sector. We began taking this value beyond our country's borders. By 2010, the company reached a position where it exported 40 percent of the products it sold. From 2010 to today, AGT still sells half of its products abroad and half domestically. This adds a different value to AGT's products." Emphasizing that being a global player carries certain responsibilities, Çetinkaya said: "These technological differences, usage differences, and health-beneficial values further highlight AGT. Today, AGT provides significant advantages to users, architects and homemakers in the furniture sector with the products it manufactures both in our country and worldwide."

Products in the showroom concept

Providing information about the new showroom concept Design Box, Çetinkaya said: "We combined all our products in one showroom concept. The differences attract more attention. With this profile, its parquet, its panels, it adds significant value to the product and to the stakeholders it works with together." Çetinkaya emphasized that today AGT is a global company exporting to more than one thousand sales points across 5 continents. Noting that AGT highlights Turkey's identity, Çetinkaya stated: "We are introducing Turkey's quality perception to the world. AGT in Turkey is in a more different and preferred position compared to other brands. This makes us even happier. It encourages us to increase our investors here." Ahmet Çetinkaya noted that they bring back the impressions and values gained abroad to Turkey: "The value given to people provides important contribution to the brand. AGT has always put this value first from day one. In our employees, respect is our first priority when you first enter through the doors of this place, followed by our priorities of valuing the person and the work they do. While each unit has different responsibilities for its employees, team spirit shares and manages responsibilities, successes and happiness. We are one of Antalya's rare companies. On one side you see Europe, on the other side a national identity. AGT demonstrates the success of holding these two together at the same time," he said.
