BRITISH STEEL TO CLAD TURKISH STEEL PLANT EXTENSION
13th November 1997British Steel’s Turkish profiling joint venture, British Steel Yasan, has won the largest contract in the company’s history with an order to supply and install pre-painted steel cladding for an expansion project at Turkey’s Karabuk Iron & Steel Works.
In the largest contract of its kind ever awarded in Turkey, British Steel Yasan will supply 60,000m² of single skin cladding to cover the structure , which will house a new continuous caster, and also act as the main contractor for the cladding’s installation at the site.
The material will be manufactured from British Steel’s Colorcoat HP200 double sided plastisol which is manufactured at the company’s works in Shotton, North Wales and Bryngwyn, West Glamorgan, and will be supplied over a three month period.
A further 340,000m² of cladding is expected to be required by Karabuk over the next two years, as the company’s expansion plans progress.
Karabuk Iron & Steel Works is the second largest long products producer in Turkey, manufacturing some 2million tonnes of material each year. It was formerly State owned, but was recently privatised, with the majority of its shares now being owned by employees.
British Steel Yasan is a joint venture between British Steel and Turkish companies Yasan Yassi Metal and Denka Dis Ticaret. Its 2,200m² premises at Kartal, on the edge of Istanbul, employs 32 personnel, all of whom are Turkish Nationals. The company’s main activity is the manufacture and supply of pre-painted steel profiles using British Steel’s Organic Coated Strip (OCS). It supplies a range of customers in the construction and engineering & fabrication sectors, with the material being used both domestically and in overseas projects - particularly in the expanding markets of the CIS.
