Product offeringCore offering
Erdemir is Turkey's first and largest integrated flat steel producer, operating approximately 4 million tons of crude steel and 5 million tons of final product capacity annually. The company manufactures and sells hot-rolled, cold-rolled, galvanized/galvannealed, and tin/chrome-coated flat steel products through direct B2B sales to industrial customers in the automotive, white goods, construction, energy, shipbuilding, packaging, and machinery sectors, complemented by Ersem steel service center processing, laboratory and calibration services, after-sales support via the ErdemirOnline portal, and port services at its own Black Sea facility.
Product overview
Erdemir (Ereğli Demir ve Çelik Fabrikaları T.A.Ş.) is Turkey's largest integrated flat steel producer, operating a multi-stage manufacturing process from iron ore and scrap through to finished flat steel products. The core product portfolio consists of four main categories of flat steel — hot-rolled, cold-rolled, galvanized/galvannealed, and tin/chrome coated — each with multiple grades targeting end-use sectors including automotive, white goods, construction, shipbuilding, pressure vessels, and metal packaging. These are complemented by a suite of services including a steel service center (Ersem) offering cutting and slitting, laboratory and calibration testing, after-sales technical support, and port operations. A major backward-integration project — the Bingöl pelletizing plant — is under development to supply iron ore pellets from domestic sources. The company operates under the OYAK (Armed Forces Mutual Fund) group of companies alongside sister plants İsdemir, Erdemir Maden, Erdemir Engineering, Erdemir România, Kümaş Manyezit, Erdemir Energy, Erdemir Asia Pacific, and the İsdemir Linde Gaz joint venture.
