He is eager to help them understand how Viking can support them in their building projects; to inform about and propose adequate solutions to mitigate fire risks; to create and highlight added value for their business thanks to Viking’s unique technology in water, water mist, foam, gas and fire detection systems; and to further build trust in Viking and its fire protection products and solutions. “This new start is not only a sign of new blood into the veins of Viking, but also it is proof of a new approach and understanding for Viking of the Turkish and Caspian fire suppression market. With this new approach, Viking Turkey will be more localised on its territory and give more support to its customers and partners for
their perfect solutions. We are going to develop our organization, support our customers and penetrate the market deeply. All sector professionals are going to hear and see the Viking Turkey organization more than ever when it comes to professional and certified fire suppression systems.”.
