WE NEVER LOSE OUR EXCITEMENT

* What are the differences between Rising Global and its competitors?

Maybe one of the main reasons we are in this position; We never lose our enthusiasm. We create employment with a staff that always follows innovation and researches “How can it be done better”. We have endless respect for all manufacturers in our country. I think our difference is that we are the company that adapts to innovations the fastest in the sector.

We are the first company that offers 24/7 service and has technical service on duty even on holidays and New Year’s Eve.

WE PREFERED GROWTH WHILE MANUFACTURERS WERE SHALLING SHORTEN IN THE PANDEMIC

* Due to the pandemic, 2020 and 2021 have been challenging years for many industries. How did you spend this period?

– Rasim Yüksel: During the pandemic period, while most producers were shrinking with panic, we preferred to grow. We moved our production area of 5 thousand square meters at that time to an area of 20 thousand square meters with our new factory. In the pandemic, we aimed to increase the awareness of our brand through both sponsorships and advertising support with a very large-scale advertising campaign. We think that we have been very successful in this. We have foreseen the needs that consumers will experience when they stay at home during the pandemic period, and we have prepared all our supply in this regard. Thus, we had no difficulty in meeting the increasing demands without experiencing major problems in terms of deadlines.

* Has the epidemic caused a change in the areas in which you operate?

– Rasim Yüksel: Yes, contrary to what is thought, the pandemic has provided people with valuable teachings on how to overcome living space restrictions. For example, we encountered consumers who were unaware of the beauty of their garden. This has changed new solutions and end-consumer demands. As there were closures due to the epidemic, people needed spacious areas where they could be protected from the sun and rain, but at the same time. We offered these to our customers with the product range we offer as Rising Global.

100% EMPLOYMENT INCREASE IN 1.5 YEARS

* What can you say about your company’s contributions to the business world, the country’s economy and employment?

– Rasim Yüksel: We have been exporting with our company for 10 years. Our target turnovers are growing by 25-30% every year with new market targets. Considering the economic problems experienced throughout the world, we consider this growth volume to be sufficient at this stage. But our new year goal is; 40% revenue growth. We think that this situation will reflect on employment with its contribution to the country’s economy as exports and new growth in our production volume. We renewed our current production structure by increasing employment by 100 percent in the last 1.5 years. In addition, we support the development of our personnel by providing trainings within our own structure.
