This country is among the targeted and privileged countries specified by our Ministry of Commerce. To raise our commercial potential and to promote our sector both in this country and in the neighboring countries, we participated in this important exhibition. By attending with Info stand, we informed the participants visiting the stand about the sector, and shared the information of manufacturers in Turkey regarding the products they were interested in thanks to the ISIB product search engine. Furthermore, as ISIB, we paid a visit to the Republic of South Africa Pretoria Embassy within the context of the exhibition.
