Arzu Uludag Elazig, Deputy General Manager Marketing of the company said that on the Georgian market Betek Fayfiks has a high perception as a brand which is caused by the customers’ trust in the brand’s quality. She said that the company will continue growing and building this trust by introducing new products.
“As a result of the innovation and marketing investments we have made in the Fayfiks product group over the years, the consumer has deemed us worthy of this award. The fact that Fayfiks is the most preferred tile adhesive in Georgia has always motivated us and we have never quit the competition. We have expanded this brand in recent years and established the Fayfiks product group with our newly added products and achieved the success we aimed for”, she said.
Betek Fayfiks has been in Georgia since 2005, represented by Turkey’s leading and innovative brand Betek. It has sustained its steady growth since the first years of its entry into the market.
“The most important feature that makes Fayfiks superior to its competitors is its unique product quality and a vast distribution channel. Thanks to this, our products can reach their customers in every corner of the country”, Elazig said.
Q. Could you please summarize 2020 – what were the biggest challenges, biggest achievements?

While there is economic downsizing in many business lines and consumer spending habits are changing, it is a real success in such a crisis period for Betek Fayfiks to maintain its current volume and achieving growth on top of it. This success is the result of the hard work of both Betek and our partner Nova team. The investments we continued to make during the crisis periods both showed our trust in the Georgian market and were reflected in the field as a success story for our brand.
Despite last year’s Covid situation, sales of Betek Fayfiks in Georgia increased in comparison to the previous year. Behind this success, the investments we have made in the fields of sales and marketing have great contributions. This is one of our real and important success story in our business we think.
