This year marks twelve 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…
Drawing die maintenance — small things that decide our tonne cost
Drawing dies are consumables. How we maintain them decides three things: surface quality on the wire, drawing energy per tonne, and yield. We inspect and rotate dies on a fixed schedule and pull one out of service the moment its wear…
A condenser wire customer expands their cold-chain business
Cold-chain refrigeration continues to grow as an end-sector for our condenser (bundy-tube grade) wire. A customer in the cold-chain space expanded their line and needed a step-up in supply. We qualified additional inspection points on the coil surface and adjusted our…
Traceability, documentation and Industry 4.0 conversations in 2016
Every big buyer we speak with in 2016 is talking about traceability by heat and lot, digital transfer of test certificates, and eventually machine-readable spec data. We are not writing white papers about Industry 4.0 — we are quietly upgrading our…
EN 10204 3.1 inspection certificates — why we default to them in 2016
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 2016 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 2016 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 2016. 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 2015 — production, customers, and what changed
2015 brought steady demand across our end sectors and continued expectation on documentation quality. The lira weakens; exports become more competitive. We expand annealed-wire capacity to serve German and Italian customers. We exported to EU, MENA, first shipments to North Africa….
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 2015 we treat 10218 as the…
Export destinations — where our wire is going in 2015
In 2015 our export mix is: EU, MENA, first shipments to North 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…
