To enable an orderly and consistent comparison of all data, this analysis was carried out within the scope of Code 28 (Manufacture of machinery and equipment n.e.c.), which is the binary group of the NACE classification used in the European Union. Both Türkiye and Düzce data were discussed and interpreted under this field of activity. Therefore, the expression "machinery sector" used in the study covers this production code. The problems of the companies operating in the NACE 28 production code in Düzce were determined through oral and written interviews (survey application) with selected company representatives. In addition to the companies operating with the NACE 28 code, opinions were exchanged with the 4th Professional Committee of the Düzce Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Non-Food Manufacturing Industry, Machinery, Metal, Rubber Industries and Other Manufacturing) and the problems and solution suggestions related to nearby manufacturing areas were also added to this study. In this way, it is aimed to make a much more comprehensive evaluation. Turkish Statistical Institute (TÜİK) data were mainly used in the evaluation of export, import and employment figures of the study. For Düzce, the data that cannot be accessed on the TUIK website was obtained by officially requesting it from TÜİK.}, number={1}, publisher={Duzce University}
