Wayne Beckett from Inkish interviews Hasan from B&G at LabelExpo 2025 in Barcelona. Hasan is the Turkish agent for Weigang and has represented them for about 17 years, starting back when the company was still called Dong Hai. He recalls first visiting China around 2008 in search of new technology to represent in Turkey, and although Weigang was small at the time, he believed in its potential. The first machine he sold and installed in 2010 convinced a skeptical customer, who went on to buy three more. Today, that same customer runs four offset and two flexo machines, and many others have followed a similar path, often purchasing multiple presses. Hasan, an engineer by background, explains that early on, he advised Weigang to adopt German technology to overcome market skepticism about Chinese machines. They initially chose components, which helped build trust in Turkey, and later shifted to technology due to its ease of maintenance, spare part availability, and lower costs. Since 2010, he has sold around 70 Weigang offset label printing machines and about 10 flexo machines in Turkey, with more orders already on the way during the show. He says his 39 years of industry experience, now shared with his two sons, combined with reliable local support and fast 24-hour response times, have built strong customer trust. Technical issues are rare, and when they occur, they are resolved quickly, which he credits as a major reason for their sales success. Hassan concludes that trust, proven technology, and dependable service have made selling Weigang machines in Turkey both successful and sustainable.
