The foundations of Kardemir that is the first integrated iron and steel factory of Turkey were laid by the term Prime Minister İsmet İnönü on 10th September of 1939 as one of the national industrialisation moves of the founder of our republic, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. We fired up our first blast furnace on 9th September, 1939 and on the following day, 10th September 1939, we produced the first Turkish Iron.
We actualised the project designing, manifacturing and installation of a large number of major industrial plants by leading our country’ s industrial enterprises. Therefore; we are known in Turkey as “the factory establishing factories” and memorialized by this name.
We target a sustainable growth with the total quality philosophy which is not only in the economical perspective but also including the environmental and social responsibilities and which is ethically true.
