Core offering

Çemtaş manufactures and sells qualified (specialty) steel products — hot-rolled rounds (Ø15-95 mm), peeled rounds (Ø13-80 mm), and leaf spring flats (Profiles A, B, C per EN 10092-1) — across 300+ steel grades in 1,500+ dimensions, using an electric arc furnace steelmaking-to-rolling-mill process. The company also produces finished Denge Çubuğu (stabilizer bars) for automotive suspension systems as a vertically integrated downstream product. Customers are industrial buyers in automotive, wind energy, defense, and machine manufacturing sectors, served via direct domestic and export sales teams from the Bursa facility.

Product overview

Cemtaş is an electric arc furnace (EAF) qualified steel producer operating as a single unified manufacturing platform with integrated production capabilities. The core product line consists of Vasıflı Çelik Ürünleri (Qualified Steel Products) — hot-rolled rounds, peeled rounds, and leaf spring flats across multiple steel grades — and Denge Çubuğu (Stabilizer Bars), a value-added finished automotive component. Production flows through vertically integrated facilities: the Çelikhane (steelmaking, 180,000 ton/year capacity) produces liquid steel and billets; the Haddehane (rolling mill, 210,000 ton/year) processes them into finished dimensions; the Kabuk Soyma Hattı (peeling line) produces bright steel; and the Isıl İşlem (heat treatment) provides hardening, tempering, and annealing. The Tamamlama Hatları (finishing lines) perform 100% non-destructive testing, while the in-house Laboratuvar (accredited laboratory) and Ar-Ge Merkezi (R&D Center) support quality assurance and new product development. The company serves automotive, renewable energy, defense, and machinery manufacturing sectors.

Broad incumbents

• SSAB: Swedish specialty steel producer with leading positions in high-strength steel for automotive and heavy machinery. Comparable to Çemtaş in specialty-grade metallurgy and automotive supply, with a strong R&D and patent moat — a relevant benchmark for Çemtaş's R&D-led strategy.
• ArcelorMittal: Global steel major with significant European flat and long product operations and automotive steel supply. Competes with Çemtaş for global automotive OEM contracts and is the dominant scale benchmark for the industry.
• İçdaş: Major Turkish EAF-based steel producer with significant long-product and billet capacity. Comparable EAF technology platform to Çemtaş but operates at substantially larger scale and broader product mix.
• Kardemir (Karabük Demir Çelik): Turkish integrated steel producer focused on long products (rails, sections, billets, bars). Public peer competing with Çemtaş in long-product categories but at significantly larger scale and broader commodity grade mix.
• Ereğli Demir ve Çelik (Erdemir / OYAK Maden Metalürji): Turkey's largest integrated steel producer (blast furnace + EAF), also listed on Borsa İstanbul. Much larger-scale incumbent operating broadly in flat and long products, but competes with Çemtaş in qualified steel grades and automotive supply.
• Voestalpine: Austrian specialty steel producer with strong automotive, railway, and tool steel franchises. Highly comparable to Çemtaş in specialty-grade focus and automotive end-market exposure, but operates at materially larger scale with broader geographic reach.

Direct peers

• Ovako: European specialty steel producer focused on long products (rounds, bars) for automotive, industrial, and engineering customers. Closely comparable to Çemtaş in terms of EAF/rolling platform, specialty long-product mix, and automotive OEM customer base — albeit at larger scale.
• Diler Demir Çelik: Turkish integrated steel producer with EAF and rolling operations producing long products including rounds and flats. Comparable to Çemtaş in long-product output and domestic/exports mix.
• Borusan Mannesmann: Turkey's largest steel pipe and automotive steel components producer, with EAF steelmaking feeding into value-added automotive and energy products. Comparable business model to Çemtaş's qualified steel-to-finished-component vertical integration.
• Asil Çelik: Turkey's leading bearing and specialty steel producer, also EAF-based and serving automotive and industrial customers. Closest direct peer to Çemtaş in terms of EAF technology, specialty grade focus, and Turkish-market positioning.
