Is birligi oncesi

Before transitioning to the new line, our production relied on an old automated punch-line system. This setup limited our efficiency and slowed down our overall production speed. Another major concern was whether Akyapak, being a Türkiye-based company, could provide sufficient service and support in the United States. This uncertainty was a critical question mark for us in making our new investment decision.
