卡斯塔斯的生活和事业

My name is Valeria Albertini, and I am the Regional Sales Manager at Kastas Italy. I am passionate about my work, and I’m dedicated to contributing to the company’s success with my skills, hard work, and focus on achieving results.
Before joining Kastas, I gained 17 years of experience in the seals industry for hydraulic, pneumatic, and rotary applications. I worked for companies like Freudenberg and STS (a Kastas distributor), handling customer service, purchasing, marketing, accounting, and budget planning and management. These roles gave me a deep understanding of the industry and helped me build valuable skills.
I started my journey at Kastas in 2022. Since then, I’ve had the chance to grow professionally and personally in an exciting and challenging environment.
Being an employee at Kastas means being part of an international and innovative company that values teamwork and individual contributions. For me, it’s a great opportunity to use my skills to work on exciting projects with talented colleagues in a supportive and dynamic environment.
Kastas has given me the chance to learn more about international markets and develop strategies to grow the business in Italy. The company has shown trust in me by giving me an important role in expanding the Italian branch, which has been a big opportunity for my professional growth.

2011 年，我开始了真空压力机操作员的工作生涯，现在我继续担任入门质量控制和叉车操作员。 我很高兴能与同事合作，并得到经理的赏识。 很高兴能成为一个不断发展的组织的一部分。
在长期的卡斯塔斯生活中，我认识到成功之道在于信任和严谨的工作。 卡斯塔斯是我的第二个家。在我的社交生活中，我自豪地推荐自己是卡斯塔斯居民。

在航空/国防工业领域工作 10 年后，我自 2013 年起在卡斯塔斯密封技术公司工作，这让我有机会利用这些经验和阅历。 在此期间，我有机会在公司进一步发展自己，公司给了我平静和自信，让我有归属感，并以其稳定和发展的结构支持我，还有我的朋友们，他们用团队合作精神激励着我。 在此，我要感谢我的公司和所有同事，感谢他们在这一过程中对我的支持、贡献和增值。

在此之前，我曾在不同的行业和公司工作过大约 3 年。 在朋友的推荐下，我认识了卡斯塔斯，并立即被录用。 我在这里已经工作了 30 年。 简而言之，我在这里度过了我生命中所有美好的时光，包括我的青春、我的订婚期、我的婚姻岁月和我的母亲生涯。 刚开始在这里工作时，我和其他人一样也遇到过困难，但我们的工作条件和工作环境都是按照女性能够轻松适应的方式设计的。在学习过程中，我的同事们总是支持和激励我。每当我需要支持时，我的经理们总是和我在一起，所以我很容易就适应了。 我在这里已经工作了 30 年，一个月、两个月、一年、两年，这里就像我的家一样。卡斯塔斯已经成为我的第二个家，我在这里度过的时间比我的家还多，我每天都会回来，不会感到无聊。

2008 年 7 月，我来到 KASTAŞ Sızd. Tek。我来到 AOSB 工厂参加工作面试，在面试中我遇到了一个重要而不同的视角。 KASTAŞ 公司始终将成长和发展的基础视为宝贵的人力资源，它为我提供了五个不同部门的工作机会。作为一名初入职场的工程师，他问我哪个部门离我最近，我想在哪里工作，在哪里工作会有动力。KASTAŞ 知道，土耳其的年轻工程师通常会申请所有部门的工作，而不管工作内容如何，因此，KASTAŞ 的想法是将这种情况转变为积极的情况，让真正年轻的人才能够开始在他们能够有所作为的部门工作。这一点对我来说很重要，我想从模具技术部开始工作，也就是在 KASTAŞ 的主厨房工作，这样我就有机会从产品诞生的第一刻开始学习所有的设计和生产流程。自上任以来，我一直以同样的动力继续在 Kastas 工作。我的经验告诉我，重要的是要让员工在工作积极主动、充满热情的部门完成任务和项目，这是成功的源泉。 我还相信，正确的沟通和令人兴奋、充满活力、开朗真诚的工作环境在巩固成功方面发挥着重要作用。我希望卡斯塔斯的活力和成功将继续增加。

我是在大学三年级的暑期实习期间认识 Kastas 的。 两个月的实习期结束后，我毕业后开始在 Kastas 工作。 现在我已经工作 20 年了，在我的职业生涯中，我继续担任财务经理，我在这里的采购部门从零开始。
首先，卡斯塔斯是一所好学校。作为卡斯塔斯的员工，在卡斯塔斯工作对我来说意味着信任。作为一名亲身经历者，我可以说，卡斯塔斯为那些希望提高自己并在自己的领域有所专长的人打开了一扇美丽的大门。Kastas 重视员工，从你成为公司一员的那一天起，你就能感受到它的价值。
我刚开始在卡斯塔斯工作时，公司只有 120 人，现在已经接近 700 人。能够成为一家不断发展壮大的公司的一员，看到公司一天天壮大，并共同经历这一切，我感到非常自豪。有时，我们在日常工作中可能意识不到这一点，但回首往事，看到我们已经走了这么远，感觉非常棒。

I am Fatih, 40 years old, and I was born in Afyonkarahisar. I am a father of three daughters. As a vocational high school graduate, I have been working at Kastaş for 15 years.
My professional journey began in 1998 with an apprenticeship school. At that time, I had only completed primary school, and in order to continue my education, I had to work and study simultaneously. Before joining Kastaş, I gained various work experiences, but I never had the opportunity to complete my education. In 2010, I joined Kastaş, where I completed my internships and finally graduated from high school.
Professionally, my job at Kastaş was different from my previous experiences. My main profession is mold making, so before Kastaş, I always worked in metal-related jobs. However, here I was introduced to different materials such as Teflon, polyamide, and polyurethane, and I learned how to process them.
At first, I never thought my bond with Kastaş would deepen so much. But as time passed, I got to know the work environment and the people here better. The value Kastaş places on its employees truly impressed me. In none of my previous workplaces did I see employees so dedicated to their company. Seeing people voluntarily making sacrifices from their own time to ensure the work gets done was a clear indication of their sense of belonging to Kastaş.
Looking back today, I find it hard to believe how quickly these 15 years at Kastaş have passed. Here, I have not only gained professional development but also found a strong sense of family. I am proud to be a part of this big family.

I joined Kastaş in 2010. Every day since then, I’ve come to work with enthusiasm. Before Kastaş, I had no experience working in a factory environment. When I started here, it was my first time working in such a large organization that felt like a big family.
During my job search, I applied to various companies and factories, but my path crossed with Kastaş, and I began my career here 14 years ago.
I truly love Kastaş. Every day, I feel the value and appreciation for our hard work. I can even say that I miss my job when I'm on vacation. Beyond my colleagues and the friendships I’ve made here, the respect and kindness I receive from everyone reflects the people-centric culture of Kastaş. It's a workplace where everyone, regardless of position or seniority, treats each other with respect and care.
The most precious and joyful moments of my life have happened while working at Kastaş. I can honestly say that Kastaş has brought abundance and beauty into my life. In closing, I would say, 'I’m glad to be at Kastaş, and I’m proud to be a part of Kastaş.

I have been working as a Senior Planning Engineer at Kastas for the last 3 years of my 9-year career journey.
During this time, I have developed myself by taking responsibility in many areas such as production, material and contract planning in different sectors.
Thanks to the rotation system at Kastas, I have the opportunity to see and experience the processes from different perspectives by assuming different responsibilities in the planning department.
This ensures that the work is not monotonous and contributes greatly to my personal and professional development.
While in the earlier stages of my career I was usually focused on a specific area of expertise, here I have the opportunity to experience many aspects of the business. This diversity makes my job more enjoyable and instructive. Kastas adopts a solution-oriented approach when there is a problem and communication with management is very open, which helps us to move things forward quickly and efficiently.
Despite the intense work pace, the dynamic work environment increases productivity and helps reduce stress.
The fact that Kastas has both order-based and stock-based production processes helped me learn different techniques in terms of planning.
These experiences helped me to gain different perspectives while improving my problem solving skills. This broad perspective I gained at Kastas has an important place in my career and opens new doors for me.

My name is Alpay Çavga and I work in the accounting department at Kastas. My career began in 1996 when I met Mr. Haydar. At that time, this meeting, which took place with the reference of my brother, was a turning point for me. Mr. Haydar made me feel that he trusted me and made me feel like not only an employee but also a part of Kastas. Thanks to his guidance from the very first days, I refocused on my education and continued my university education after receiving my high school diploma. This support opened new horizons in both my career and personal life.
I have been working at Kastas for almost 30 years and during this period I have felt not only as an employee but also as a kind of owner of the company. It is a great source of pride for me to witness and be a part of Kastas' growth from a small factory to one of the largest in Europe. With a sense of ownership that goes beyond work, I have tried to provide solutions for every need of the company.
The corporate structure, the discipline of working with long-term goals and the supportive atmosphere provided by the company had a great impact on both my professional and personal development. I was encouraged to contribute in different departments and processes beyond my job description. This approach not only broadened my business knowledge, but also allowed me to create a corporate memory.
Today, beyond being an employee of Kastas, I am very happy to be a part of Kastas and to have grown together with Kastas. I am grateful to everyone who has contributed to both Kastas' and my development throughout this journey. Knowing that Kastas will grow and achieve many more successes in the future makes me even more proud to be a part of this family.

My name is Rahime, I'm 49 years old.
Before Kastas, I worked in many different fields and sectors. Kastas is one of the places where I have worked for the longest years since 1993, when I started my career. Since 2018, I have been working at Kastas for almost 7 years.
Kastas means friendship and camaraderie for me. I have colleagues with whom I enjoy working. Even though working can be challenging and tiring at times, the friendships and the support of these friends keep me motivated.
We actually spend more time in our workplaces from morning to night than in our own homes. Therefore, feeling belonging and being happy where you are is very important for working life. This place is almost like my second home. Kastas is a place that values people, that brings us together and makes us feel this value through the gifts given on important days or through the events and activities organized in our daily work life. I am very happy to be here with a work organization that values people and the benefits it provides. I am glad to be a Kastas employee!
