WE WORRIED, BUT…

Mayor Burhanettin Çoban expressed his worries before the tender as well and said: “There are several global companies who perform cable car business under very high quality standards. On the other hand, some companies engage in illegal manufacturing. We know and observed on site that the cable cars manufactured in this way do not operate. We worried considerably that such a company will win the tender. The winning company is Turkish distributor of the Austrian company Doppel Mayer, one of the world’s most important company in the industry. It performed over 50 cable car works in Turkey. Tendering of a first class European company pleased us significantly. Good luck with it in Afyonkarahisar.
