When you enter an electronic store in Europe, you should find some products of Beko. Check it out.
THE VESTEL GROUP OF COMPANIES (VESTEL) ENGAGES IN PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT, MANUFACTURING, SALES, AND MARKETING IN THE CONSUMER ELECTRONICS, WHITE GOODS, AND DIGITAL PRODUCTS SEGMENTS. VESTEL IS ONE OF THE WORLD'S BIGGEST ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURERS (OEM) AND ORIGINAL DESIGN MANUFACTURERS (ODM). IT IS ALSO EUROPE'S BIGGEST MANUFACTURER OF COLOR TELEVISIONS AND TURKEY'S BIGGEST MANUFACTURER OF DIGITAL PRODUCTS.
They recently announced that they've produced the most efficient fuel cells in the market:

Vestel’s other fuel cell design is also revolutionary, both in the likely effect on global markets and in its choice of raw material. Similar in design to existing small fuel cells used to power low wattage electrical equipment, Vestel’s design is unique in that the hydrogen is supplied from sodium boron hydride, which Vestel claims it can produce as cheaply as US$30/tonne from Turkey’s abundant reserves of boron. Vestel says that the design is ideal for powering mobile phones and laptops, which could run continuously for up to two weeks before requiring recharging with a tiny capsules of the chemical “fuelâ€. So successful have been prototype trials that Vestel has been invited to demonstrate its designs to Intel, a major US chip manufacturer. The Turkish firm predicts that its first such fuel cells could be on the market by end-2006 costing a fraction of traditional batteries, and offering almost limitless cheap recharging. |

Quoting qdemir: Quoting Elisa: Quoting qdemir: Quoting Elisa: Ah and there is the brand Ãœlker that produces all kinds of things.
That reminds me: I've heard Ãœlker being called a "religious brand..". Can someone explain me why exactly? |
Its owner is a religious man. |
You know, I was kind of expecting an answer from you, didn't expect that it would be so vague and saying less than nothing though. For your information: I'm not an imbecile 
Anyway, drop it, I was just being honestly curious, nothing more, but since it comes down to religion again I was wrong to ask that kind of question. |
 Elisa, I didn't know what kind of answer you were expecting. However what else could it be as an answer to your question? Why do you think you were wrong to ask such a question? |
Dear qdemir
A lot of owners of Turkish brands are most probably religious. That doesn't mean that they should profile themselves as being religious (which seemed to be the case for Ãœlker, even if it's only in insinuated terms..).
Hence, saying that the owner must be religious is too easy an explanation for me..
ps: I had a very close relationship with my Beko tumble dryer until it passed away

Ãœlker doesn't profile itself as being religious.
As for the explanation you have found easy; Ãœlker doesn't use some ingredients that are "haram" in İslam in its goods.

Yes,it state this too on its products covers.
Which brought me to some inquiry,other brand names which doesn't says it contains some haram ingredients.
That means it may contains haram ingredients ?
and how would we know if it would contain a pork fats or something,would they say,or does that have a code ?
