Emphasizing that they have great demand from the world market as they produce 10 different devices for research centers much cheaper than their competitors, Durusoy said:
"We need investors as we have grown so much and we have great amount of demand. We receive orders from Jordan, Iraq and elsewhere. We do not have a chance to go these places. Our main market is Europe and USA and our purpose is here. We are looking for an investor who wants to make money from these technologies and is interested in the industry. We would like to do mass production establishing a production facility in organized industrial sites such as OSTİM and İvedik. There is no other firm that produces these devices at this price. We also have a flexible production technology. Turkey can start exportation and employ hundreds of people in this area. We increased our founding capital from TL 10.000 to $1 million in 2013 and I believe we can reach $10 million, as well. We do not attend the fairs abroad because we fear we cannot may not be able to meet the demand as we do not have enough power."
