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…
Inside our Muradiye OSB plant — 2017
This year marks thirteen 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…
Tensile scatter within a coil — the number that matters most
Tensile scatter within a single coil is the technical variable that most affects downstream customers. A coil where every metre reads within a narrow tensile band lets a header or a bender run without adjustments; a coil with wide scatter forces…
An appliance customer standardises on one wire supplier
A long-time white-goods customer moved this year to a single-source arrangement on the wire grades we produce for their oven grill assemblies. The rationale on their side: tensile scatter between shipments from multiple vendors was creating downstream setup problems on their…
