The overarching message of the Plastics, Rubber and Composites Industry Assembly election was unity. Eroğlu, the President of the Turkish Plastics Industry Foundation (PAGEV), was re-elected, and the Vice-President will be Fahri Özer, Board of Directors Chair of the Flexible Packaging Industrialists Association.
TOBB Board of Directors Vice-President Ayhan Zeytinoğlu expressed his gratitude to Eroğlu for his effective, results-oriented work.
Eroğlu said: “Since established as the unifying force of the Plastics, Rubber and Composites industries, we have been working relentlessly. The Plastics, Rubber and Composites industries are the driving force behind growth in Turkey and everywhere else in the world, but we do realise that we have to work more towards expressing the importance of these industries for the national economy. Going forward, we will expedite our efforts to identify and eliminate the problems our industry has. We will implement measures that will carry all industry representatives to the future. I would like to thank all members for their confidence in us, and electing us to the head of the Assembly for another period."
