Digitalization enabled personalisation
Giving information about the developments in the digital printing machines sector, Bekir Öz continued his speech as follows
“It made it possible to print on different materials (wood, metal, glass, fabric, etc.) from A4 paper up to 5 meters in size and 15 centimeters in thickness. “Digitalisation” has also enabled personalization and personalized prints can be made at affordable costs instead of mass production. Thanks to digital printing, a design prepared on the computer can be printed directly on the relevant material without the need for pre-press preparation. Our printing sector is big, while its size in the world is around 800 billion dollars, it is stated to be around 9 billion dollars in our country.”
Strengthened its position in the sector by acquiring Xerox’s company in Turkey
Referring to the acquisition of Xerox’s Turkey company last year as Lidya Group, Bekir Öz said the following:
“Xerox has a great place in my life and the life of Lidya Group. Lidya Group was established in 2001 to be the regional dealer of Xerox. In October 2023, we acquired Xerox’s company in Turkey. With this sale by the US-based company, we strengthened our position in the sector as Lidya Group and aimed to position ourselves in new markets. We plan to continue our project, which was implemented with an investment of 20 million dollars in the first stage, with an additional investment of 40 million dollars in the following 5 years to increase the printing production in our country and to strengthen the online operation.”
