Construction wire — cold-drawn for mesh, fastener stock, hot-dip galvanising feedstock — is our stability product. Volumes rise when construction rises, and they respect the calendar. In 2017, buyers in the region and in export markets (EU, MENA, Africa) are asking…
Export destinations — where our wire is going in 2016
In 2016 our export mix is: EU, MENA. 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 run…
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…
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…
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…

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 2015. The pattern is consistent: surface has to be clean enough for a paint or coating step, tensile has to be tight…
Export destinations — where our wire is going in 2014
In 2014 our export mix is: EU, MENA. 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 run…
Automotive and appliance demand — 2014 outlook
Automotive sub-supply and white-goods manufacturing both continue to pull cold-drawn wire in 2014. Tensile tolerance keeps tightening. Construction demand stays strong. Cold-drawn low-carbon wire for mesh and fasteners is a growing line for our plant. Our production planning is now built…
Construction and mesh: quiet volume that respects the calendar
Construction wire — cold-drawn for mesh, fastener stock, hot-dip galvanising feedstock — is our stability product. Volumes rise when construction rises, and they respect the calendar. In 2014, buyers in the region and in export markets (EU, MENA) are asking for…
