Following the plenary session, where a single list was voted on, the TARMAKBİR Board of Directors convened and elected Gökhan Bayramoğlu, member of the Başak Traktör Board, as chairman.
TARMAKBİR Board Chairman Gökhan Bayramoğlu: “The development of the agricultural machinery sector is possible not only with technological transformation but also with common thought and vision. We are together with yesterday’s experience, today’s responsibility and tomorrow’s hope.”
At the 32nd Ordinary General Assembly Meeting of TARMAKBiR, which took place in Ankara on 21 June 2025, Ziya Altınöz of Altınöz Agricultural Machinery in Söke presided over the council. Other members of the council board included Ali Osman Çalmaz from Anıl Yatağanlı Konya, and Veliddin Alp Biner from Global Taral Istanbul.
The plenum, which included TARMAKBİR members and guests, commenced with an opening address from Chairman Gökhan Bayramoğlu. “Forty-six years ago, seven representatives from various companies united to establish our organization, TARMAKBİR, starting with the belief that collaboration and forming a union would be highly beneficial.” Bayramoğlu began his remarks with these words and discussed the industry’s current status, stating, “As Turkish industrialists, we have our roots in the field and are well aware of its challenges. I am confident that sector-based NGOs, which are well-respected in developed nations, will also offer innovative policies to our ministry. I want to emphasize that we will maintain our presence in the sector’s narrative and continue to present our policy suggestions—internally and externally—in response to the ever-evolving management structures.” He wrapped up his speech by saying, “Today, as TARMAKBİR, we stand not only to review the past but also to shape the future, adding new aspirations, objectives, and initiatives to our sector. We come together equipped with experiences, present obligations, and future aspirations. The advancement of the agricultural machinery field relies not just on technological innovation, but also on collective thought and vision. Therefore, today’s general assembly is more than just a meeting; it is a reaffirmation of our commitment to construct the future collaboratively.”
During the session, Mehmet Bozdemir, General Manager of Metrology and Industrial Products Safety of the Ministry of Industry and Technology of the Republic of Turkey, Dr. M. Altuğ ATALAY, General Manager of Agricultural Research and Policies of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry of the Republic of Turkey and Kutlu Karavelioğlu, Chairman of the Board of Directors of MAİB/TİM Deputy Chairman, also shared their feelings and thoughts with the guests in their speeches.
