Could you tell us about your educational and your professional background in the industry?My name is Koray Kocasakal, I was born in Istanbul in 1981. I spent my primary, middle and high school years in Istanbul. After high school, I studied marketing in the USA for about two years. Then I came to Turkey and graduated from Bah%u00e7e%u015fehir University, Faculty of Business Administration. In fact, my professional business life and my education life went together. Growing up, our father would always bring us to the company during summer vacations. Because of this, I don%u2019t recall ever having a full two-and-a-half or three-month break in the summer, work was always a part of our lives. This was always like our area of responsibility. After university years and military service, I started to work professionally at Teknik Kimya. I worked in different departments of the company. First I worked in warehousing and logistics, then I worked in accounting for a few years. Afterwards, I became the head of marketing and I have been the CEO of Teknik Kimya for about 6 years.We would like to hear the story of the foundation of your company...Arma%u011fan Kimya was founded in July 1989. At that time, textiles were growing rapidly in Turkey and Mr. Mehmet had a extensive background in textiles and dyeing. Therefore, we started with textile auxiliary chemicals. At the time, we also had offices in %u00c7orlu, Bursa and Denizli. At the same time, we had a company called Mondo in Italy, which we established in parallel. A year later, we became the distributor of two Italian companies for polyurethane auxiliary chemicals. Therefore, textile chemicals and polyurethane actually went hand in hand for us, we were manufacturers in textiles and distributors in polyurethane.R%u00f6portaj / Interview
