Yusuf Korkmaz, The CEO of GEFA GEMİ
IRANIMEX: Charting the Course for Iran’s Maritime Future
My name is Yusuf Korkmaz, and I represent GEFA, a company that has been producing sealing products for ships and factories for nearly 40 years. We specialize in high-quality rubber sealing solutions for maritime and industrial operations.
Our main goal at this exhibition was to showcase our products, expand our network, and explore new business opportunities. We also wanted to strengthen our presence in the international market and build relationships with key industry players.
The exhibition was a great platform for showing the strengths of Iran’s maritime industry and highlighting investment opportunities. We had the chance to meet potential partners, learn about market trends, and present our products to a wide audience. We introduced our latest cargo hatch cover seals, which received positive feedback for their safety and durability.
We found the exhibition a good opportunity for technology transfer and collaboration. Innovation and advanced technology are essential for improving efficiency, safety, and sustainability in the maritime industry. Iran’s maritime and port sectors offer great potential, especially in modernizing infrastructure and adopting sustainable practices.
We actively looked for new business partners and investors, and the interaction with international companies was productive. We built valuable relationships and explored new markets. We believe Iran’s maritime industry has the potential to become a regional leader in trade and innovation.
In conclusion, our experience at the exhibition was very positive. We would suggest increasing opportunities for targeted networking and knowledge-sharing sessions, which would enhance the overall experience for participants and foster even more valuable connections. Expanding thematic workshops could further enrich discussions and encourage deeper collaboration. We encourage other industry players to participate in future editions, as it’s a great opportunity to explore new business opportunities, learn about industry trends, and form partnerships.
If I wanted to describe IRANIMEX in one sentence, I would say: It’s a dynamic platform that brings together global maritime leaders to showcase innovation, foster collaboration, and drive the future of the industry.
