Inkmaker Group to Sign Sole Distributorship Agreement with Odak Kimya

As we prepare to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the National Sovereignty of the Republic of Turkey, Inkmaker Group has recognized Odak Kimya as its exclusive distributor across all sectors. The distributorship agreement with Inkmaker Group Commercial Director Gianluca Incerti will be signed electronically on 23 April 2020 in compliance with social distancing rules by Odak Kimya Founder and General Director Ayla Çuhadaroğlu. Speaking about the partnership, Ayla Çuhadaroğlu said: "We are very pleased to have been appointed as the sole representative in Turkey. This carries significant advantages for both parties. Inkmaker Group is a global technology leader with the quality and precision of its equipment, leading software and strong product range. Additionally, with the group's recent acquisition of Rexson, Vale-tech and Tecnopails, it has become a complete integrated engineering solutions provider with strong diversification and accumulated expertise. Even during these challenging times globally, as Odak Kimya we have the market knowledge, resources and strong business network to maintain the strong position necessary to elevate Inkmaker Group's position in the Turkish market."

One of Turkey's leading distributors with a team of over 30 people

Founded in 1998 to provide colour management solutions, Odak Kimya initially supplied colour measurement equipment from leading global brands to the paints, plastics and automotive sectors. It quickly expanded its product portfolio with complementary products from leading brands. Today, Odak is one of Turkey's leading distributors, with a strong team of over 30 people working in its 3 offices located in Istanbul Anatolia, Istanbul Europe and Adana.

"A meaningful coincidence that it aligns with celebrations of Turkey's 100th anniversary of National Sovereignty"

Expressing enthusiasm about the representation agreement to be signed electronically on 23 April, Inkmaker Group Commercial Director Gianluca Incerti said: "We actually planned to announce this news at the Paint Istanbul & Turkcoat Fair, with Inkmaker Group's participation, but given the cancellation of the fair due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we devised a new strategy. At the same time, the fact that this coincides with celebrations of Turkey's 100th anniversary of National Sovereignty created a wonderful meaningful coincidence."    

All representation rights with Odak Kimya

Regarding the representation agreement granting Odak Kimya all representation rights for Inkmaker Group's brands in Turkey, including paints and coatings, water-based and solvent-based liquid inks, textile and dyehouse market as well as laboratory equipment, Inkmaker Group EMEA & Americas CEO Christophe Rizzo said: "Odak Kimya, with a strong network and sector experience, is a leading distributor in Turkey representing most of the world's leading brands. The group has full confidence that this partnership will accelerate growth opportunities in the region for us."
