The 2019 view for cold-drawn and annealed wire in our end sectors: Global trade tensions bite. We diversify our end-sector mix — condenser wire orders from cold-chain and refrigeration climb. Customer expectations continue to tighten on tensile scatter within a coil,…
EN 10204 3.1 inspection certificates — why we default to them in 2019
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 2019 it is treated…
Automotive sub-supply: cold-drawn wire for fasteners
Automotive fasteners rely on cold-drawn low-carbon wire that behaves predictably during header and roll-forming. In 2019 we saw more customers ask for narrower tensile scatter within a single coil, not just batch to batch. To hold that, wire-rod incoming quality control…
Cold-drawn Ø1.00 – Ø14.00 mm — our workhorse family
Cold-drawn wire remains the backbone of what leaves our Muradiye OSB plant in 2019. We draw Ø1.00 to Ø14.00 mm from low-carbon SAE 1006/1008/1010 wire rod, in bright or super-bright finish. Tensile strength typically lands between 500 and 1050 N/mm² depending…
Looking back on 2018 — production, customers, and what changed
2018 brought steady demand across our end sectors and continued expectation on documentation quality. Currency swings again. Focus on cost efficiency and yield in every drawing pass. We exported to EU, MENA, Africa. Cold-drawn and annealed remained our highest-volume families; cut-to-length…
TS EN 10218 — the low-carbon wire family standard we work to
TS EN 10218 covers general requirements for steel wire — low-carbon and higher-carbon grades. It sets tolerances on diameter, tensile, surface, and packaging that we use as the reference for most of our production. In 2018 we treat 10218 as the…
Export destinations — where our wire is going in 2018
In 2018 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…
Inside our Muradiye OSB plant — 2018
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….
