Indicating that turnkey projects hold more importance compared to machine or part sale, he said: "Regardless of how good we are at the machine or spare parts, we need to improve ourselves and produce new ideas. So, installing and delivering complete facilities widen our horizon and provide us wise ideas in R&D studi- es." Eroğlu stated that there needs long term planning with export and the focus should be on quality and competition rather than price. Talking about the importance of identifying and opening up untouched areas for the economy of the country, he said that exports to North Africa, the Middle East, and West Asia have been going on. Although Atlas Değirmen has been recently establis- hed as a feed technology company in Konya, you have a very experienced team which was trained from the cradle. Can you give us and our readers general infor- mation about your company? Our company started its modest work in 2004 at a work- shop of 100 m² by three entrepreneurs who were trained in machine manufacturing. Since its establishment, Atlas Değirmen has the principle to develop and renew itself con- tinuously and gathered important experience in feed machi- ne manufacturing.

If mankind didn't need it and someone hadn't ima- gined it, neither Wright Brothers would try to fly, nor Tim Berners Lee would try to develop the Internet.
