3  Market Information

Turkey has a very vivid metal forming industry. The local companies manufacture a wide range of iron and steel articles and they employ virtually all kinds of processing techniques that are globally in use (i.e., forging, CNC lathes, universal, plasma cutting, MIG-TIG welding, etc.). The production quality is up to the international standards. Especially, casting and processed steel pipes and tubes occupy a significant place within the local industry and this particular strength also reflects on the international trade figures (Please see Table 1 & Table 2).

Istanbul, Kocaeli, Bursa, Eskisehir, Izmir, Ankara, Kayseri and Konya are the most important provinces for the metal working branch. The overwhelming majority of the companies are in the form of family-owned SMEs.
