Our industry was affected badly from global economic crisis in 2009.

During January – July term 2010 there has been serious improvements in capacity utilisation, development of  new export markets, general  increase in export sales and recruitment in our automotive industry compared to 2009 figures.

Whilst continuing its activities in the global competitive environment, KALE is carrying out its R&D activities to continuously develop product quality, to improve productivity, to meet clients’ demands with products holding individual ownership rights.

In the scope of our R&D operations, cooling system built  for HYBRID vehicles have been  completed successfully.

At the same time our R&D department started to work on  a new type of high pressure resistant aluminium radiator, oil-cooler and intercooler necessary for automotive and Industrial Machinery Production sector.

 ‘Electrical Vehicle’ projects started by  the Automotive Industry, will be completed by 2011 to commence serial production.

Kale R&D operations for the development of A/C, Heater and Cooling Systems to be used in these vehicles are continuing.

To accommodate fast technological developments experienced in the global automotive industry and to reach our objective as a sub-supplier, I sincerely hope that recently formed partnership of Kale Behr Otomotiv A.Ş. whose establishment phases have been completed in 28.07.2010 yields new job opportunities and new products with higher added value to our company, our group, distribution network, and the automotive sector.
