Mehmet Koksal, Chairmain, BOR-SA informs about his company:

 

Would you kindly brief your company? How do you serve to the mattress industry?

 

BOR-SA has been established in 2007 in Kayseri, the center of Turkish Furniture production. At the beginning we were supplying iron pipe and profile to furniture manufactures. Then by the time, we have widened the range of goods that we provide. Now we supply for the needs of especially the so-called “soft furniture” mattress, sofa and sofabed manufactures. Our product range includes fiber, felt, pocket and bone springs, mechanism, gas spring, mattress ticking fabric, upholstery fabric, elastic webbing, mattress tape, air capsules etc. In shortly except cheap board, we provide all components and material to produce furniture. We have to say that our main supply sector is the mattress industry. We have special spray glue for mattress production called Bor-sa S-500. Our mission is to provide all raw material and semi-products to be produced at one point.

 

Would you kindly brief your manufacturing facilities? What is your production capacity?

 

Our company mainly deals with distributing goods of main producer as a trade company. But in our facilities we produce ball fiber also. Our capacity of ball fiber production is 40 tons/month.

 

What sorts of products do you manufacture? What are the specifications of these products?

 

As we mentioned above, we are Trade Company. It means that we build a bridge between big producer and middle and small size furniture producers. As you know, there is a direct connection and trade between suppliers and big producers. But small and middle producer don’t have such a big consumption capacity. So we provide them competition chance and to get the goods as much as possible close prices with our contract capacity.  Again, it is necessary to mention here that we supply all materials according to the needs of small and medium size companies at one point.

 

How would you define “healthy mattress?” What sorts of materials should be used in a healthy mattress?

 

According to our experience in the mattress industry, a healthy mattress is the mattress which meets the needs of people to sleep in comfort, rest peacefully and wake up fresh. We know that there is an increase of customer consciousness about what they need and how they can meet their need. In the internet age, they can easily reach all necessary information through net. They can decide what kind of mattress meet and satisfy themselves.

 

The materials used inside a healthy mattress are very important. But the most important thing is how the customer could find the right mattress. That is why customers have to determine their needs first of all and look for the mattress which meets their needs. At this point, mattress seller and producer have wide range products presenting to customers’ taste and service.

 

Can you evaluate 2015 for your brand and the sector in whole? What are your future prospects and projections for 2016?

 

Generally speaking, 2015 was not the year of furniture because of many parameters both domestic and international. As you know, furniture is one of the few goods easily give up under the crisis time.

On the other hand, despite this depression at the furniture sector, our trade was successful and satisfied us thanks to our customers who believe in us and know our price and service policy.

In 2016, we are expecting not too much but little jump in furniture sector. These all depends on the parameters outside of furniture sector. Our plan for 2016 is to increase our service and quality much more. On the other hand, we export our goods to 5 countries since 2014. Our main aim is to increase our export both at the customer and country wise. We have organized and built up a foreign trade team inside the company in order to achieve that.

Would you brief your export markets?

 

Our main market is the neighboring countries. We export to Georgia, Iraq, Lebanon, Egypt and Tunisia. Differs country by country, we mainly sell felt, adhesive, packaging nylon, mattress ticking fabric, mattress tape, air capsule etc.

 

How do you provide your raw material and product supply? Do you have imports?

As mentioned above, we only produce ball fiber and we import the raw material from Vietnam. All the rest is supplied from the domestic market. But with the hard competition inside the domestic and foreign markets, we are looking for alternative solutions to get the goods and supply our customers both price and quality wise.

 

What are your final remarks?

2015 has passed with all happy and painful matters. With the New Year we hope to all around the world peace and happiness. Also we thank you for giving us this opportunity.
