Türkiye, with its robust industrial infrastructure and strategic location, is a global player in the steel casting sector. Steel cast parts that underpin many critical industries—from automotive and defense to heavy machinery and construction—are produced in modern facilities across the country. When you’re seeking the right casting partner for your project, certain industrial hubs stand out. But the right choice requires far more than just geography. As Ahkemak Metalurji, a company active in the industry since 1973, we’ve prepared a guide to help you navigate this process.
Türkiye’s Industrial Casting Hubs
Kocaeli and Bursa Steel Casting Foundries:
These two cities, the heart of Türkiye’s automotive and machinery industries, host numerous foundries that manufacture to high standards. They are especially known for precision and high-volume production capacity for automotive OEMs and tier suppliers.
Aegean Region Steel Casting Foundries:
Led by İzmir and Manisa, the Aegean region is strong in casting solutions for machinery manufacturing, wind energy, and the pump–valve industry. Proximity to ports also boosts export potential.
Gaziantep Steel Casting Foundries:
The industrial leader of the Southeast, Gaziantep has dynamic foundries serving a wide range of applications from agricultural machinery to construction equipment.
Ankara Steel Casting Foundries:
The capital and its surroundings host companies specialized in high-strength and special-alloy steel castings for defense, construction equipment, and the rail industry.
While these hubs are important, the most critical factor for your project’s success is not the city itself but the foundry’s capabilities.
Beyond Location: What to Look for in an Ideal Steel Casting Partner
Experience and Sector Know-How:
Casting is a craft that demands mastery. Decades of experience translate into foresight and quality at every stage, from understanding material behavior to the nuances of pattern and mold design. A partner with proven experience in your specific sector (defense, automotive, marine, etc.) is a major advantage.
Technological Infrastructure and Quality Control:
A modern foundry should be equipped with induction furnaces, heat-treatment furnaces, spectrometers for chemical analysis, and non-destructive testing (NDT) equipment. Rigorous quality control procedures at every step of the process help ensure the reliability of the parts you receive.
Production Capacity and Flexibility:
Your partner must have the capacity to match your project’s scale and the flexibility to produce parts of varying sizes and complexity. Being able to serve across a wide spectrum—from steel and stainless steel casting to ductile iron and gray iron—lets you cover all needs under one roof.
Customer Focus and Trust:
A good partner is more than a supplier; they are a solution partner. From project kickoff to delivery, they should maintain transparent communication, understand your requirements, and offer tailored solutions.
