HOPE TO MEET AGAIN AT IDEF'23

As Nurol Teknoloji, we took our place in IDEF 2021, the largest international defense industry fair of Turkey, which was held for the 15th time this year. In these days that we miss to meet directly with all the domestic and foreign needy that we have been away from due to the Covid-19 pandemic, IDEF 2021 has presented us all with a very good opportunity. Herewith, we are proud to present to all our stakeholders our advanced technological products that we have developed and produced in-house in the defense industry, where technology is used extensively,

Boron carbide, silicon carbide and alumina ceramics produced with special processes developed by us, and our hybrid ballistic protective armor solutions with the lightest and highest performance thanks to these ceramics, attracted great interest of the end users of both our country and allied countries. While soft ballistic vests for personnel protection, hard ballistic plates produced for high threat levels in NIJ and VPAM standards, vehicle armor panels and shields including Stanag 4569 Level 4 are under the spotlight, our shield carrier, modular bunker MODKOR and EOD suite products, which we presented to our stakeholders for the first time this year, have drawn great interest.

We would like to thank to our Chief of General Staff, General Yaşar GÜLER, particularly, and to all our Commanders in Chief of Armed Forces, our Ministers, our Presidency within the Presidency of Defense Industry, the Ministry of National Defense, the General Directorate of Security, the Gendarmerie General Command, the Coast Guard Command and our Ambassadors, who made us proud by visiting our stand. In addition, we would like to thank all foreign delegations, our suppliers, our business partners, all companies and participants for their visits. We continue to increase our capacity and technology every day with our investments with 100% domestic capital and Research & Development studies, and we are working hard to protect our users against the highest threat levels and to provide more advantages during their duties. We want to include our products in the inventory of those in need in many countries of the world, and to announce name of Turkey to the whole world as a global brand with our national ceramic solutions. We hope to meet you in many IDEF fairs with our new technologies that we develop more and more every day.

Best Regards.

OUR SUPPLY CHAIN PROCESSES

We are working hard to supply the highest quality and most qualified raw materials, auxiliary materials for production, equipment and spare parts in order to produce the highest quality advanced technical armor products with the heavy responsibility that human protection puts on our shoulders. Our purchasing system is based on supplying the best quality material at the most affordable price and at the most appropriate time. In addition to the purchasing cycle, supplier management and development is another main process that we always prioritize and we always strive for better. In addition, with our Research & Development unit, we are constantly researching to supply new materials that will advance our products. It is always among our goals to provide alternative domestic suppliers with appropriate resources and competencies without sacrificing quality.

We are aware of the importance of all our suppliers, especially our critical suppliers, and we regularly monitor their delivery and quality performances in order to continuously improve our suppliers, and we conduct on-site inspections with our Quality department. We work together with many of our suppliers on the basis of solution partnership. Within the scope of AS9100, we have improved all our purchasing processes, documents, forms and procedures and implemented the changes we made.

We can state that we have successfully managed the ongoing pandemic process for our part. But the problems experienced around the world have shown and reminded us once again how important it is to develop and monitor effective supply chain methods. We will continue to analyze our risks, take measures for these risks and develop our suppliers in order to maintain our supply process in a quality, effective and uninterrupted manner under all conditions.

Best Regards.

NEWS FROM NUROL TEKNOLOJİ HR

Employees are the heart of the business and employee satisfaction is located at the most important point on the way to the heart of that business. Employee satisfaction survey is a systematically formulated and structured survey with scientific research methods. As Nurol Teknoloji, we always listen to the ideas of our employees, pay attention to them and value their opinions. At this point, we conducted the Employee Satisfaction Survey, in which our employees can objectively evaluate all processes at Nurol Teknoloji, in cooperation with Cruocity, which is an independent research firm that conducts the process in full confidentiality.

It is an important part of the process to analyze the results of the survey, which we put into practice in order to assess the work lives of Nurol Teknoloji employees, measure their satisfaction, willingness and commitment, to identify our strengths and areas of development and to reveal the improvement points that are suitable for the values and culture of the institution. What drives the employee satisfaction will vary depending on the employee in question. In addition to examining factors such as generation, professional preference, location and experience, we carried out detailed analyzes for each result with our employees selected as the spokespersons by their departments in order to understand how to create satisfaction in general. We separately listened our employees about the items that need to be corrected, improved, planned and removed together with the action plans. As Nurol Teknoloji, we focused on determining the action suggestions, responsibles and areas of influence of the results analyzed in the workshop we held after the Employee Satisfaction Survey. In the next step, we will prioritize the appropriate actions within a plan, and we will work on solution projects and implement them. In line with the action plan we will prepare, we aim to make our processes more efficient and, most importantly, to further improve the employee experience.

In this regard, we would like to thank all of our employees, who participated in the survey and workshop and contributed to creating a better working environment for everyone, for their valuable opinions.

Best Regards.
