Dear Colleague,

First of all, I would like to thank all my colleagues on behalf of the 10th Term Board of Directors, for deeming us worthy of carrying the responsibility of managing DİŞSİAD for the next three years and giving us this duty.

The new term of the Dental Materials Industrialists and Businessmen Association, DİŞSİAD, which has a unique position and importance within the medical sector, began with the 10th Ordinary General Assembly held on November 5, 2019. I express my gratitude to all the presidents and board members who have served in previous terms and contributed to bringing our association to this day, and I wish them success in their future professional lives.

Together with our Board of Directors, we will work for the development of the dental materials sector and our country, adhering to our national values.

We will continue our cooperation with our Ministry of Health to improve the quality, continuity, and traceability of the dental materials and services we provide to dentists for the public to receive better oral and dental health services. We will continue our efforts to integrate our members with all the new rules and regulations that have come into effect and will come into effect.

We trust in the potential of our country and our members. We will take all necessary steps for the growth of our country's dental market and support our production economy. Utilizing the advantages of our geopolitical location, we will work to increase the presence of the products and services provided by our members not only nationally but also in the international dental arena.

By listening to the needs of our members, we will be in dialogue with all necessary institutions and organizations to develop our sector and produce high added value for our country; we will develop permanent solutions and projects.

With the awareness that the point we will reach tomorrow will be the preferences and goals of today; as the Board of Directors, we will work to increase the annual transaction volume we have taken over from 500 million dollars to 1 billion dollars by the end of three years; and to increase our local content rate from 20% to 40%.

Dear Friends,

We draw our strength from our unity and solidarity. The formula for the path to success is to embrace knowledge and science. With our strength and desire for success, we will collectively increase the high added value we provide to our country.

We will crown the new term, in which we will work with dedication and determination, with successes.

With my respects and regards; I wish you productive work and beautiful days.

Erkan UÇAR
Chairman of the Board, DİŞSİAD
