The Bank’s financing will be used to build a greenfield site for air ventilation products in the Izmit region. The new facility will help Systemair-HSK increase its operational efficiency and enhance capacity to manufacture products compliant with European and international standards. It will also serve as the company’s regional hub, including for exports to the Middle East and the Balkans, the report said.
Systemair-HSK is one of the largest air ventilation companies and a leader in the air handler market in Turkey.
