The Grand Cherokee:
Perfection, Power, Performance

Sneakers or dancing shoes, safari on the road or roaring around off-road – the Grand Cherokee has combined cool luxury with a high adventure factor since 1992. In late 1987, Chrysler had taken over the Jeep brand and halted the production of the luxurious Grand Wagoneer in 1991. For 1992, Chrysler presented the Grand Cherokee as its successor and as the new flagship of the Jeep fleet. Lavishly equipped, with an interior comparable to that of a comfortable passenger car, it was evidence on wheels that a four-wheel drive vehicle can provide an ambience rich in style. Even though the Grand Cherokee was clearly smaller than its predecessor on the outside, its interior was similarly sized.

In its segment for sport utility vehicles, the new Grand Cherokee quickly took over the class lead. It not only surprised with its low-slung, familysuited interior that also served many transport purposes, but scored highly in terms of handling. Despite its two rigid axles, it offered much better road handling and consumed significantly less fuel than its predecessor.

Buyers of a Grand Cherokee could choose between a four-liter, six-cylinder in-line engine (which powered the luxurious SUV adequately with its 184 hp), and a 5.2-liter V8 engine from Chrysler, which delivered 215 hp. For the sixcylinder, a five-speed manual and a four-speed automatic transmission were available, the latter being installed as standard in the eight-cylinder model.

In 1998 Chrysler merged with Daimler-Benz to become DaimlerChrysler. In the same year the company introduced the new ‘WJ’ Grand Cherokee. Its grille looked more aggressive with seven wide slots, the body was wedge-shaped, rounder and had molded sides to emphasize the character of the vehicle. The wheelbase remained the same, while the exterior length grew by a few inches. Powertrains on offer were a 4.7-liter V8 with 238 hp and a 3.1-liter diesel, which produced 140 hp from its five cylinders.

Grand Cherokee:
Mükemmeliyet, Güç, Performans

İster spor ister dans ayakkabıları, ister yolda safari ister arazide gezinti. Grand Cherokee, 1992 yılından beri lüksün en havalı halini zorlu macera faktörüyle birleştiriyor. Chrysler, 1987 yılının sonlarında Jeep markasını satın almış ve 1991 yılında lüks Grand Wagoneer'ın üretimini durdurmuştu. 1992 senesinde Chrysler bu modelin halefi ve Jeep filosunun yeni amiral gemisi olan Grand Cherokee'yi tanıttı. Ekipman açısından donanımlı, konforlu bir binek aracınkine benzer iç mekana sahip bu model, dört çeker bir aracın da tarz açısından zengin özellikler sunabileceğinin kanıtı oldu. Grand Cherokee dışarıdan bakıldığında selefinden daha küçük olsa da iç mekanda benzer boyutlar sunuyordu.

Yeni Grand Cherokee, sportif arazi araçları segmentinde çok kısa bir süre içinde sınıf liderliğini ele geçirdi. Sadece daha alçak, aileye daha uygun ve yük taşımaya daha elverişli iç mekanıyla değil, aynı zamanda yol tutuşuyla da kullanıcıları şaşırttı. İki sabit aksına rağmen selefine göre çok daha iyi yol tutuşu sunuyor ve çok daha az yakıt tüketiyordu.

Grand Cherokee müşterileri, Chrysler'in (184 beygirle bu lüks SUV'ye yeterli gücü sağlayan) dört litrelik altı silindirli sıralı motoru ve 215 beygir gücüne sahip 5.2 litre V8 motoru arasından seçim yapma şansına sahipti. Altı silindirli motor için beş vitesli manuel ve dört vitesli otomatik şanzıman seçenekleri sunulurken sekiz silindirli modelde standart olarak otomatik şanzıman kullanılıyordu.

Chrysler, 1998 yılında Daimler-Benz ile birleşerek DaimlerChrysler adını aldı. Şirket aynı yıl içinde yeni 'WJ' Grand Cherokee'yi piyasaya sundu. Izgarası yedi geniş bölmeyle daha agresif bir görüntü sergilerken kasası aracın karakterini vurgulamak için daha dolgun, daha yuvarlak hatlarla ve kalıplı şeritlerle donatıldı. Dingil mesafesi aynı kalırken dıştan uzunluğu birkaç santimetre artırıldı. Motor seçenekleri, 238 beygir güç sağlayan 4.7 litre V8 ve beş silindirden 140 beygir üreten 3.1 litre dizeldi.

Olmeca Altos tests the US market

Olmeca Altos tests the US market, with successful launch events in both Denver and Chicago.

Following almost a year on the international market, Olmeca Altos has decided to test the largest Tequila market in the world, the USA. Exclusive launch events were recently held in Denver and Chicago, where Master Distiller Jesús Hernández, and co-creator Henry Besant, personally presented the brand to the special guests, who inluded local press, Tequila connoisseurs, and passionate bartenders.

With the help of local bartenders taking the role of brand ambassador in each market, Olmeca Altos is fast becoming a firm favourite amongst their counterparts in the US. Dan de Oliveira in Chicago, and Sean Kenyon in Denver are the guys filling these important roles, as they officially help to spread the word about the unique creation and authenticity offered by Olmeca Altos 100% Agave Tequila.

With category trends and perceptions ever evolving, the sophisticated US Tequila market is perfect for an authentic Tequila like Olmeca Altos. And the uniqueness of being exclusively co-created by bartenders, for bartenders, will hopefully mean that Olmeca Altos will become available across the entire nation in the not too distant future.

Olmeca Altos, ABD pazarını test etti

Olmeca Altos, Denver ve Chicago'daki başarılı lansman etkinlikleriyle ABD pazarını test etti.

Uluslararası pazarda geçirdiği hemen hemen bir yılın ardından Olmeca Altos dünyanın en büyük tekila pazarı olan ABD'yi test etmeye karar verdi. Denver ve Chicago'da, Baş Damıtıcı Jesús Hernández ve eş yaratıcı Henry Besant tarafından markanın yerel basın, tekila uzmanları ve deneyimli barmenler gibi seçkin misafirlere bizzat tanıtıldığı özel lansman etkinlikleri gerçekleştirildi.

Her pazarda marka elçisi rolünü üstlenen yerel barmenlerin de yardımıyla Olmeca Altos ABD'deki muadilleri arasından sıyrılarak hızla favoriliğe yükseliyor. Chicago'daki Dan de Oliveira ve Denver'daki Sean Kenyon, Olmeca Altos %100 Agave Tequila'nın benzersiz üretim yöntemi ve orijinalliğinin tanıtılmasına resmen yardımcı olarak bu önemli rolleri üstleniyorlar.

Sürekli değişen kategori eğilimleri ve algılarıyla zor beğenen ABD tekila pazarı, Olmeca Altos gibi orijinal bir tekila için mükemmel bir pazar olarak görülüyor. Bununla birlikte, barmenler tarafından barmenlere özel olarak hazırlandığı için sahip olduğu eşsiz özellikler Olmeca Altos'un çok da uzak olmayan bir gelecekte tüm ülke çapında yaygınlaşacağının sinyallerini veriyor.

All of the product that I import from Turkey has been picked after tiring trips that I have taken to Turkey to see the quarry and the factory that will produce the product. This has enabled me to offer excellent service on projects. I can proudly say that we have a project company in the West Indies and one in Spain who prefer working with us as they trust in our diligence in choosing and offering the right products and our expertise in inspection from production to shipment.

We outsource our porcelain range. Now with increasing demand we are looking for a reliable company to be our supplier.

The production of granite kitchen worktops from granite sourced from all over the world has widened our customer portfolio.

We started from mosaics on mesh and following the trends we have included various products from different countries to our range. Now we are working on an exciting new product that we will manufacture and it will be launched very soon. I would like to share it with you as soon as it is on the market.

Additionally we supply the building materials that everybody needs such as adhesives, grouts, sealer and protectors that are the indispensables of this sector.

Türkiye’den ithal ettiğim tüm ürünler, taş ocağını ve ürünü imal edecek fabrikayı görmek için Türkiye'ye yaptığım yorucu yolculuklardan sonra özenle seçiliyor. Bu süreç, projelerde mükemmel bir hizmet sunmama olanak veriyor. Gururla söyleyebilirim ki, doğru ürünlerin seçilmesi ve sunulması konusunda gösterdiğimiz özene ve üretimden sevkiyata kadar denetim konusundaki uzmanlığımıza güvendikleri için Batı Hint Adaları’nda ve İspanya’da bizimle çalışmayı tercih eden proje şirketleri var.

Porselen yelpazemizi dışarıdan tedarik ediyoruz. Artan talep doğrultusunda tedarikçimiz olması için güvenilir bir şirket aramaya başladık.

Dünyanın dört bir yanından getirilen granitlerden yapılan granit mutfak tezgahlarımızın üretimi, müşteri portföyümüzü genişletmemizi sağladı.

Önce hasır üstü mozaiklerle başladık, daha sonra trendleri takip ederek farklı ülkelerden çeşitli ürünleri yelpazemize ekledik. Şu anda bizim imal edeceğimiz heyecan verici yeni bir ürün üzerinde çalışıyoruz ve çok yakında piyasaya süreceğiz. Piyasaya sürüldükten hemen sonra sizinle de paylaşmak isterim.

Ayrıca yapıştırıcılar, harçlar, sızdırmazlık malzemeleri ve koruyucular gibi herkesin ihtiyaç duyduğu inşaat malzemelerini de tedarik ediyoruz.
