CORPORATE HISTORY

20 YEARS IN BUSINESS

Nowadays it is easy to manufacture, but hard to sell the products. It is possible to master this difficulty by manufacturing distinctive products with outstanding quality at a reasonable price as a pioneering company. Sanica family has always been the pioneer. We preserve the passion we had the first day we started this business. We have always implemented investments and technological innovations with sensibility.


We believe that our corporation will sustain to future years through our efforts to manufacture modern products and follow the most recent technological innovations. We believe because we believe in our specialized personnel.


The main aim of Sanica is to become a world trademark on its fields. I believe that we are getting closer to our target. Sanica has become a preferred brand even in the countries which are hard to spot on the world map. Therefore, our future plans are taking shape due to high demand for our products.


I would like to thank to all my colleagues, and our sales partners who have supported and trusted us and who have been with us on good and bad days since the first day.


Best regards,
H. Nesimi FATİNOĞLU



SANICA BELONGS TO TURKISH PUBLIC

Companies and trademarks of companies are taken into account when wealth of countries are determined. Companies and brands are also used to make good publicity for their countries.


All the citizens should respect their country’s companies and brands representing them in the world. So that, the companies and brands originated from this country will belong to the citizens of this country more than their actual owners on paper. Today Sanica belongs to Turkish public.


We have 2.600 sales partners nationwide and Sanica brand is sold in 48 countries in the world with "Made in Turkey" label. We represent our country which we love from the bottom of our heart. Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan, New Guinea etc. Presidents use Sanica products in their bathrooms.


There is a fierce competition between the international brands. Foreign sales personnel give the priority to their own produce. We are given a chance when the quality and price of foreign products are not compatible with ours. The more I resent this situation, the more I respect it. They act responsibly because they know the future of their country depends on the strength of their national capital.


We are not as strong in terms of energy resources, mines and natural resources. We have only one chance. Which is production. We will produce non-stop. Our products should be special with high quality as well as cost effective. This is the Sanica’s philosophy. In this respect we are working on developing new products. We use the brand name Sanica in all of them. The main reason for this is that Sanica is accepted in the world market as a high quality and economical brand with multiple models. Therefore, we are improving our product range and increasing our revenue. It is crucial to meet the expectations of our clients with our new products. In this respect, we assure high quality and speciality of our products.


Sanica neither uses bank loans nor chases government funds, all its investments are equity capital. Unfortunately, Sanica's welfare alone is not sufficient for the wellbeing of our country. We wish the welfare of all the Turkish manufacturers. We resent the fact that many of our national brands have been sold to foreign investors in recent years.


Sanica is a Turkish capital and we want to keep the ball rolling. We will fight against all odds.


Kind regards,
Ali FATİNOĞLU
