Sanmiro broadens its horizons, continually exploring new market opportunities. With this vision, the collaboration with Akcoat was established. Based in Turkey, Akcoat is a global leader in coating industrial and consumer products, boasting several plants worldwide and over 500 employees.
Daniele Valsecchi, Head of Sales at Sanmiro, credits their Istanbul office for their deep understanding of the Turkish market, which enabled them to connect with Akcoat. “During my visit to the company, I discovered a team with exceptional technical and production expertise, complemented by a top-tier quality laboratory. From the outset, Akcoat appeared to be the ideal new partner for us, as we are confident it can also meet the needs of the Italian market.”
Sanmiro's desire to offer an increasingly comprehensive service to its customers thus meets Akcoat's goal of gaining a good position in the national cookware market as well: "The partnership with Sanmiro allows us to come in strong in a strategic sector for us - explains Doğan Erdoğmuş, Akcoat's Sales Director - thanks to the positioning and recognisability that this Italian company has earned over the years. Sanmiro’s presence in Turkey was a decisive factor in kick-starting our relationship, which I hope will continue to evolve and consolidate”.
This collaboration allows Sanmiro to provide additional value to its customers by offering non-stick coatings for pots and pans using Akcoat's top-quality products. This is supported by timely commercial and logistical assistance and a deep understanding of the sector's needs.
Thanks to this partnership, Sanmiro is now able to offer multiple solutions for the cookware market and beyond. These include products for PTFE roll coating, PTFE spray coating, and the application of SOL-GEL, the latest generation of PFAS-free ceramic coating. This is a fundamental aspect for all future cookware lines, making them more environmentally friendly and healthier for consumers.
"We are confident that this collaboration will positively impact both companies - concludes Daniele Valsecchi - It will enable Sanmiro and Akcoat to enter new markets and offer innovative services with top-quality products, already tested by some of our Italian customers. In a challenging period for our industry, we look forward with confidence and optimism, thanks to relationships like these.".
