A. Metin DURUK
Chairman of ISKAV
It is obvious that the change to the date and venue of the fair, which was highly criticized by participant companies, led to concerns about the success of the fair. The organization in the sector played a key role in overcoming this challenge. It was recognized that TUYAP was superior to the previous exhibition at a level which was beyond comparison, and thus confirmed by all participants.
Thanks to the favorable weather conditions prevailing in 2018, we observed that the number of visitors were more qualified and higher in number compared to previous years.
With the support of the Ministry of Economy, the international procurement and VIP committees organized by İSİB, Hannover Messe Sodeks Fuarcılık, and İSKİD-URGE achieved great success. It is clear that the foreign customers invited by our companies as well as the high number of foreign visitors from various countries created great synergy in the fair and played an active role in the promotion of the country.
As a result, ISK-SODEX Fair in February 2018 became highly successful in terms of international promotion of our sector and business relations. The Fair Steering Committee and Technical Committee formed by industry associations and the foundation will act fast to start working for the next event. The date of the fair which will be held between October 2 and 5, 2019 will remain the same in the future. It is clear that organizing the fair in uneven years will increase the participation of international and local companies and therefore the effectiveness.
We wish that the ISK-SODEX fair on October 2-5, 2019 will bring success for our sector and country
Ömer Cihad VARDAN
Chairman of DOSIDER
Looking at the sophistication and quality of this year's fair, we once again understand the importance of the attempt made by our valued sector associations to come together under the roof of ISK-SODEX years ago and to ensure that the event takes place once in every 2 years.
Despite the unfavorable socioeconomic developments in the region where our country is located, the participation of companies and visitors as well as the products exhibited at ISK-SODEX revealed how much the sector grew.
Our member companies were satisfied beyond their expectations in terms of the number of participant companies and visitors. Along with the efforts of the hard work of the fair organization team, we believe that the exceptionally favorable weather conditions in February also played a key role.
In consequence, we believe that the ISK-SODEX 2018 Fair, one of the biggest fairs in Europe which featured all aspects of the Air Conditioning Sector, achieved success with a great participation this year. Providing an opportunity to exchange ideas between participants and the members of the sector, we believe that this fair represents a key platform for information sharing and communication of innovations and will continue to provide significant and beneficial services for our sector in the future as well.
We would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to all representatives of the sector who contributed to the development of this fair as well as to all our partners for their contributions.
Taner YÖNET
Chairman of İSKİD
To be honest, our 13th fair was more successful than the previous 12 fairs.
Thanks to the well-organized premises of TUYAP fairground resulted in a more balanced distribution of visitors among halls. The presentations made during the fair increased the interest in the fair.
The "Masters' League" contest gave a novel touch to the fair. The guests who were invited from abroad were hosted within a well-functioning schedule, conducting B2B interviews and contributing to the advancement of international relations. We would like to thank the professionals from İSKİD, İSİB and Hannover Messe Sodeks Fuarcılık for their diligent efforts.
We would also like to thank the distinguished companies and their employees who welcomed a great number of visitors at carefully prepared stands as well as each and every one of our valued visitors. We truly believe that we will do even better in our next gathering which will take place between October 2 and 5, 2019.

Chairman of İZODER
Opening its doors for the first time with its new venue and its new date between February 7 and 10, 2018, the ISK-SODEX 2018was successful in every aspect. The first criterion of success for fairs is the number and quality of participant companies and the second one is the number and quality of visitors. This fair met these two criteria fully and at the highest level.
Congratulations to the management and team of Hannover Messe Sodeks Fuarcılık and to our organizations from the sector.
The obvious dynamism of the first day continued to increase until the last day. We could observe the high level of technicality and consciousness in the visitors' profile during the interviews and engagements.
Besides the efforts of Hannover Messe Sodeks Fuarcılık, we saw that the support of İSİB-The HVAC-R Industry Exporters Association also played an effective role in the increased number of foreign companies and visitors.
I believe that all of the key participant players in the sector, who filled TUYAP Fairground's entire capacity of 45.000 m2, are satisfied as well. I am confident that the companies will run back to our next rendezvous in early October, 2019.
As İZODER, we would like to congratulate and thank the management and personnel of the fair organizer Hannover Messe Sodeks Fuarcılık and İSİB, and in particular, all stakeholder associations and the chairman and executives of our foundation who contributed to the success of ISK-SODEX 2018 Fair.
