First of all, can you start by talking about the recent activities of Yiğit Akü?
As Yiğit Akü, we spent the most productive year in 2018. We have achieved figures above our targets. This year, we have set a new target larger than last year. When we look at the first three months, our sales rates are much better. These results may be based on the rise of Yiğit Akü in the last 3-4 years. When we closed down last year, the data showed that we were the leaders in the sector. We have been a leader in the battery sector for the last three years.
Could you tell us a bit about your 2019 goals?

What are the differences of Yiğit Akü in general?
As Yiğit Akü we have a very young and dynamic team. We can make production according to customer demands. Of course there are criteria for price, but we have the flexibility share. In production, we have a lot of production capacity from our competitors. Our export experience is more than our competitors. We think that we are in front of our competitors as an experience.
