Begun as a Turkish textile company in 1944, Sarar has emerged across the globe as a leading high-end men's Euro-fashion retailer.


Şirkete Genel Bakış

SARAR, Eskisehir, Turkey –
As one of Europe’s biggest suit manufacturers SARAR is the leading Brand since 1944.

The SARAR family dreamed of tailoring the finest suits in Eskisehir. The realization of their dream started when the first SARAR sign was placed over their shop in 1944. Starting from that day they laid out the foundation of SARAR quality and enthusiasm that one day would become SARAR tradition. Three things in particular have made SARAR what it is today: Choice of fabric, perfect cut and attention to detail.


Quality in every Detail

Tailoring is still a craft at SARAR, where the knowledge and skill passed down in the family is employed to create clothes of made-to measure quality. While the main sections of garments are sewn on modern machines by qualified tailors, cuffs, collars, slits and other finishing details are sewn on special machines that put high technology at the service of hand craftsmanship for unbeatable excellence.

Ebru, The Art Of Turkish Marbling


Materials: Gum Tragacanth, carrageenan, ox gall, pigments, horsehair brushes, corn whisks, rosewood stylus, archival paper preferred, eye droppers, tank, combs.

What is Marbling? Marbling might be described as an art form, which allows one to capture 'a fingerprint of chaos'-- the chaos of fluid mixing, which is found throughout the Universe.

What is Turkish Ebrû? It is a specific kind of paper marbling. Paper marbling itself originated in Japan when it was still a part of China. It is an ancient art form and evolved considerably as it traveled the Silk Road to Turkey.

In its purest sense, marbling is the art of floating pigments or dyes on thickened water and manipulating them into patterns, which can mimic nature, such as stone marble, or flowers. The patterns are then transferred to paper.

The entire process is dependent on the chemical balance between the size, the dyes, the ox gall, the purity of the water, the ambient temperatures of everything involved in the process, even the mood of the Ebrû tray and the artist.

Most scholars agree that Turkish Marbling is an art form, which emerged from Central Asia and made its way through the Silk Road to Iran, then to Anatolia. 'Ebrû, is the modern Turkish word for marbling.

Turkish Ebrû has a deeply moving and quietly soothing quality about it ---an "art form for the beauty of the soul".

Arçelik

Arçelik A.Ş. is a household appliances manufacturer in Turkey. The Company engages in the production and marketing of durable goods, components, consumer electronics and after-sale services. Its products include white goods, electronic products, small home appliances and kitchen accessories, such as refrigerators, freezers, washing machines, dishwashers, aspirators, vacuum cleaners, coffee makers and blenders.

Arçelik A.Ş. is active in more than 100 countries, including China and the United States through its 13 international subsidiaries and over 4,500 branches in Turkey. The Company operates 10 production plants in Turkey, Romania and Russia, including refrigerator, washing machine, dishwasher, cooking appliances and components plants. It offers products under its own ten brand names, including Arçelik, Beko, Grundig, Altus, Blomberg, Arctic, Leisure, Arstil, Elektra Bregenz and Flavel.

The company is controlled by Koç Holding, Turkey’s largest industrial and services group with USD43 billion in consolidated revenues in 2008, and is the market leader in Turkey’s appliance sector with its Arçelik and Beko brands. It is also the third largest household appliances company in Europe after Electrolux being first and Indesit being second. Its top executives are Aka Gündüz Özdemir, Durable Goods President of the Koç Group, and General Manager Levent Çakıroğlu. Arçelik has been ranked "Number One in the Private Sector" for the 14th time in 19 years in "Turkey’s Top 500 Industrial Corporations" survey that was carried out by the Istanbul Chamber of Industry.

History

Arçelik was founded in 1955 and entered the Turkish white goods sector by producing its first washing machine in 1959 and its first refrigerator in 1960. In 1968, Arçelik moved to its Çayırova facilities near Istanbul. In the 1970s and 1980s, the company expanded its product range and opened its Eskişehir refrigerator plant in 1975, İzmir vacuum cleaner plant in 1979 and Ankara dishwasher plant in 1993.

1999 was a year of growth and reorganization. Arçelik founded Ardem to manufacture cooking appliances and brought under its roof Türk Elektrik Endüstrisi A.Ş. and Atılım ve Gelişim Pazarlama A.Ş. as a single legal entity. In 2001, Arçelik took over the marketing and sales activities of Beko products that used to be marketed and sold by Beko Ticaret. The new organization model enabled the company to manage production and sales/marketing activities centrally and to increase productivity.

Most recently, the merger plan between Arçelik A.Ş. and Grundig Elektronik A.Ş. was declared on February 27, 2009

Strategy

The company's recent goal is "to possess one of the ten most preferred global brands in its sector by the year 2010"[12]. To reach this goal brands like Grundig, Elektra Bregenz, Blomberg, Arctic, Leisure, Flavel, and Troila have been incorporated in addition to existing Arçelik, Beko, and Altus brands. In accordance with international expansion strategies, the company seeks to maintain its competitive edge through continuous development[13].

Arçelik has focused investments on developing markets and as such, opened Beko LLC Refrigerator and Washing Machine Facility on October 13, 2006, which is the first plant constructed by Koç Holding outside Turkey [14].

As for the marketing and advertising strategy of the company in the UK, Beko launched an advertising campaign with the slogan: "Beko: Buy it before it becomes famous". It was widely seen on LED advertising boards used at Premier League football grounds in England. This has now changed to "Beko: Home appliances". The company used to sponsor Watford FC, who play in the Football League Championship, during the 2007-2008 and the 2008-2009 seasons. Moreover, Beko was the main sponsor of Eurobasket 2009 and the presenting (main) sponsor of 2010 World Men's Basketball championship. In addition to these, Beko is the main sponsor of Turkish Basketball League since 2007-2008 season and German Basketball Bundesliga since 2009–2010 season.

Current position

According to company data, Arçelik/Beko holds a 7 per cent share of the European free-standing appliances market and 5 per cent of the OBM market. Beko products account for approximately ⅔ of Arçelik international sales and are among the top brands in many markets – including the UK (14 per cent share in refrigerators and 7 per cent share in washing machines) and Poland (5 per cent share)[15].

In the last four years Arçelik has doubled its turnover, and in 2004 has registered a growth of 29% over the previous year. By the end of 2004, a total production figure of 7.4 million units has been achieved in four major production groups. Compared to last year a growth of 30% has been realized.

The 2004 turnover for the company stands at 2.7 billion euros. The sales revenue achieved through foreign sales now accounts for 44% of the total turnover. The foreign sales volume has mushroomed from 472 million euros to 1.2 billion euros in the last four years.

In Turkey, 15 million households are believed to use Arçelik products. These indicators regarding the performance are supported by the many international quality and technology awards, and other prizes Arçelik have received. In the last four years, it has continuously been selected the most admired Turkish company in all sectors.

In the United Kingdom, one in five kitchen appliances sold is made by Beko

Naming

Outside Turkey all Arçelik products are sold under the brand name BEKO. The reason for this is the difficult pronunciation and obvious comedic nature of the brand name Arçelik for English speakers.

Technology and innovations With about 300 successful patent applications, Arçelik accounts for 10% of all the patent applications in Turkey, since 1996. Moreover, in the European durable consumer goods sector Arçelik is one of the top four companies with the highest number of patents to its name.

Arçelik, which in conformity to European standards earmarks approximately 1.5% of its total annual turnover to R & D, employs 450 researchers in its central and operational R & D departments. Working towards the goal of acquiring technological leadership in its sector, the company has won some very prestigious awards in the international arena in 2004, through the products it has developed.

Why doesn't any of this stuff find itself in Pakistan ? I'm ripped off with the 'Generals' and the 'Michellins' of the auto-industry but I've yet to see these 'Petlas' ! Plus half of the things that are shown on this thread from the vehicles to technical equipment on one hand and the food products and those beautiful porcelain tea-pots on the other (my Mom wants one of those :P), Pakistan could be a fairly good product for these !
