This year marks fourteen years. The plant is a 7,000 m² wire manufacturing facility in the Muradiye Organized Industrial Zone (Muradiye OSB), Manisa. Under one roof we run wire rod receiving, cold drawing, annealing, cut-to-length, flat-bar profiling, and packaging. That single-site…
Wire rod incoming inspection — the earliest quality decision we make
Every coil of wire rod that arrives at Muradiye OSB gets inspected before it enters our drawing bays. We check the mill certificate, cross-check hardness ourselves, and log any surface finding. It sounds obvious. But the earlier you catch a rod-quality…
Fastener manufacturer moves to bright-drawn from black-drawn — smoother heading, less die wear
A fastener manufacturer we have supplied for several years switched from black-drawn to bright-drawn wire for their higher-run parts. The reason was header die wear. Bright surface produces less friction at forming; die life goes up. Coating-ready surface is a bonus….
Steel wire market view — 2018
The 2018 view for cold-drawn and annealed wire in our end sectors: Currency swings again. Focus on cost efficiency and yield in every drawing pass. Customer expectations continue to tighten on tensile scatter within a coil, surface preparation, and turnaround on…
EN 10204 3.1 inspection certificates — why we default to them in 2018
EN 10204 3.1 is a “specific inspection document” — validated by our inspection department, independent of the production line — that certifies the material meets ordered specification and gives real test results from the actual heat. In 2018 it is treated…
White-goods buyers keep raising the bar on wire surface
Turkey’s white-goods sector — refrigerators, ovens, dishwashers — remains one of the biggest end-users of our cold-drawn wire in 2018. The pattern is consistent: surface has to be clean enough for a paint or coating step, tensile has to be tight…
Cut-to-length wire and why the length tolerance matters
Cut-to-length wire looks like a commodity from the outside. Inside a fastener mill or a welding-electrode plant, one millimetre of length variance across a pallet is a real problem. In 2018 we run straightening and cutting lines that hold length tolerance…
Looking back on 2017 — production, customers, and what changed
2017 brought steady demand across our end sectors and continued expectation on documentation quality. Industry 4.0 conversations start on the Turkish shop floor. Traceability by heat number and lot number is a customer demand, not a nice-to-have. We exported to EU,…
TS 2348 — Turkish standard for annealed wire
TS 2348 covers annealed low-carbon steel wire. We reference it on domestic and select regional shipments in 2017. Full-annealed and inter-annealed cycles are selected by the target tensile and the customer’s downstream process. Turkish standards remain a natural reference for our…
Export destinations — where our wire is going in 2017
In 2017 our export mix is: EU, MENA, Africa. Different destinations have different documentation expectations. Every export shipment travels with an EN 10204 3.1 inspection certificate and a commercial pack that includes packing list, invoice, and country-of-origin documentation on request. We…
