Cooperation with KARDEMİR

Universal Bıçak Makina has transformed its long-standing supplier collaboration with Kardemir Karabük Iron & Steel Factory , a cornerstone of Turkey’s iron and steel industry, into a strategic partnership.

This partnership aims to increase the localization rate in Turkey’s steel production, enhance industrial efficiency, and boost added value in the production chain. In the facilities where the first Turkish iron was cast in Karabük, Universal Bıçak’s machining, heat treatment, and reverse engineering solutions are now actively used.

Within the scope of the partnership, the two companies cooperate in many areas, from vacuum heat treatment technologies to high-precision knife production systems. Thanks to new technologies, both production costs are reduced and environmentally friendly manufacturing processes are supported.

• Advanced engineering applications in domestic steel production
• A project target of up to 30% improvement in heat-treatment efficiency
• Commissioning of the new R&D center
• Sustainable energy use in the production chain

This project aims to strengthen Turkish engineering and domestic production potential, while creating a sustainable industrial model together with Kardemir. With the motto “We have a share in every Turkish iron produced,” the partnership guides long-term production plans.
