In the early hours of 6th February , 2023 , the border of Turkey and Syria was struck by a 7.8 earthquake , affecting both countries . The fiercest for 100 years , up to 50,000 people have lost their lives so far .
Just a week or so later , a smaller earthquake – measuring 6.3 on the Richter Scale – struck in a similar spot , followed by a slew of powerful aftershocks that compounded the destruction .
The sheer scale of devastation will cause conflicting and ongoing supply chain disruptions to pile atop one another due to damaged ports , bridges , and roads across Turkey , with manufacturing companies similarly impacted . Supplies such as food , water , and other aid have already been difficult to deliver to areas in both Turkey and Syria , with debris blocking roads and many other buildings on the cusp of collapse .
Turkey ’ s manufacturing sector includes that of vehicles , responsible for 15.2 % of Turkey ’ s total exports and totalling US $ 23.9bn of the country ’ s revenue . So here , we ’ re taking a look at the Top 10 manufacturing companies in Turkey – and wishing them a quick recovery .
