248 New Factories in Konya

Lots were drawn for preliminary allocation to investors in the Konya Organized Industrial Zone (KOS) 6th Section Expansion Area. In the draws held in the presence of a notary to determine the locations of the investors, the investment area demands of all industrialists who applied for preliminary allocation and fulfilled the conditions were met.

Memiş Kütükcü, President of Konya Organized Industrial Zone and Organized Industrial Zones Supreme Organization (OSBÜK), attended the 6th Section Expansion Area PreAllocation Draw Ceremony, held with the participation of industrialists, and gave information about the developments in the region and the allocation process.

Underlining that KOS has become the second largest OIZ in Turkey, reaching a size of 31 million square meters with the 6th Section Expansion Area, Kütükcü thanked all participating industrialists who contributed to the growth of the region.

Kütükçü stated that “Pre-allocation was made to 248 investors. We first produced 223 industrial parcels in the 6th Section Expansion Area, which consists of 8 million square meters, but later we made arrangements to increase the number of parcels in line with the demands. In our first study, we produced 223 industrial parcels in our 6th Section Expansion Area. However, despite this parcel we produced, 265 of our investors applied to us for allocation. We carried out a new subdivision study to meet the demands of all investors. With this work we carry out, we meet the investment area demand of all investors who meet the criteria. Today, hopefully, 248 companies that meet the application requirements will determine their places by drawing lots in the presence of a notary for preliminary allocation.” 

Kütükçü pointed out that “The expropriation process continues in the 6th section, and after the completion of this process, permanent allocations will be made to the preallocated industrialists. Our goal is to complete the expropriation procedures quickly. As soon as we complete the expropriation, we will make permanent allocations for our industrialists who received preliminary allocations. Thus, our industrialists will be able to start their investments. With the realization of our investments in Section 6, we will hopefully increase the number of our factories, which are currently 727, and our employment of over 55 thousand.
