Turkey`s Foundry Industry ranks at No. 10 in the World
The Turkish foundry production of 1.900.000 tons and valuation 4 billion Euros in 2016 is produced by 928 foundries operated in the country (preliminary figures). The Turkish foundry export value reaches above 2,7 billion Euros with export volume over 1.000.000 tons in 2016. There are 34.000 employees in the sector. Most of the production in the foundry sector was made by private owner companies.
Turkish foundry sector acts an important role in world casting production, as well as it is in Europe. If we evaluate the numbers of casting production in 2015, after Germany and Italy, Turkey has taken 3rd place in Europe. According to AFS’s 50th Census of World Casting Production, which was published in December 2016 issue, Turkish foundry industry production in 2015 constitutes 1,8 % of the world production. Accordingly, Turkey’s global ranking is 10.
TÜDÖKSADS General Secretary Kubilay Dal rounded up the official speeches with a presentation on the associations history before Turkish and international guests enjoyed the banquet meal and the entertainment program.
In front of political and economic decisions and possible new settings of the agenda this place was a good opportunity to strengthen the network and the grown relationship with the Turkish partners in the casting Industry.
