Mehmet Serdar Özcan, the former sales director of Calik Denim, is joining Sharabati as part of the company’s sales team.

This expert denim industry insider has published a post on Linked-in announcing the beginning of a new chapter for him. He started taking his first steps 22 years ago at Calik Denim as a textile engineer and later covered various responsibilities including marketing and sales, to name a few.

“During my visit to Egypt, I had the opportunity to spend time with the Sharabati team and see the operations firsthand. I was truly impressed by the scale of this company’s manufacturing footprint across Egypt and Türkiye, with more than 140 million meters of annual production, and by the strength and technology of its extensive machinery park,” was one of Ozcan’s first enthusiastic comments.

“Even more importantly, I was impressed by the people, their ambition and their vision for the future. I’m looking forward to contributing to Sharabati’s continued growth and building strong, long-term partnerships across our markets,” he recently said while announcing the new step he is taking.

Empatethic, proactive, collaborative and optimistic, Ozcan is constantly involved into reaching new goals and building new partnerships, as I heard from him in various occasions. “When we collaborate, our relationship is based upon mutual understanding, as we are all ingredient brands, but we have one customer, and we all want to make the customer happy and satisfied through partnerships,” he once explained during a talk at Munich Fabric Start.

“Apart from costs, participating in collaborations has the aim of increasing your footprint in the market and try to source something different from it. Such occasions are always rewarding and in the end you always get good results in terms of the company’s presence in the market,” he explained showing his spirit and ability in building bridges and new projects.
