The Turkish foundry industry has shown strong growth in recent years, and since 2018, Turkey has even surpassed Italy in the CAEF country rankings. "The country has become an indispensable partner for the European die-casting industry, as was evident at EUROGUSS in Nuremberg earlier this year," says Christopher Boss, Executive Director of EUROGUSS. "Turkey has long been among the top exhibitors and visitors here." More than 50 companies exhibit, including Döktaş Dökümcülük, Aslar Pres Döküm Sanayi ve Ticaret, and Süperpar Otomotiv.
According to In Fonderia, the magazine of the Italian Foundry Association Assofond, Turkey's total casting production has tripled from one million tons in 2006 to over three million tons in 2022. This development is understandable upon closer examination: thanks to its perfect geographic location, Turkey has become a bridge between Europe and Asia. This makes it a popular location for production and supply chains, including manufacturers of (die) cast parts.
