Valve supplier for Izmir, Ankara and Bursa: Turkey’s industrial zones
Istanbul is the main market, but much of Turkish industry sits in the organised industrial zones of Izmir, Bursa, Ankara, Kocaeli and other cities. Large municipal water utilities operate there too.

Organised industrial zones
These zones host hundreds of plants: machinery, textiles, automotive, food and chemicals. Each one runs boiler houses, cooling systems and water treatment, which means isolation valves.
Municipal water utilities
Metropolitan water utilities buy gate valves and butterfly valves through tenders, with material and standard requirements set out in the documents, usually EN and TS EN.
Compliance
Turkey applies requirements harmonised with Directive 2014/68/EU under its customs union with the EU, so CE marking and EN standards are familiar. Documents in English, and Turkish if needed.
Logistics
By road from Tashkent via Turkmenistan and Iran, or along the Middle Corridor. Ankara and Bursa are direct truck deliveries; Izmir can also be served by sea via Mersin or Istanbul.
