The roots of Çolakoğlu’s commercial operations reach back to an iron & steel trade shop that Mehmet Rüştü Çolakoğlu founded in İstanbul’s Karaköy district in 1945. Çolakoğlu’s first rolling mill commenced operations in Sütlüce, also in İstanbul, in 1960. To address its need for billets, in 1968 Çolakoğlu established its first steel mill in Dilovası. Çolakoğlu Metalurji expanded its product line with the introduction of wire rod in 1985 and with the addition of ribbed rebar in 1990. With the steelworks and hot-rolled coil production investments that were initiated in 2005 and with the commissioning of its hot-rolling mill in 2010, Çolakoğlu Metalurji became one of the pioneer firms in Turkey’s iron & steel industry. Our mills are capable of producing an extensive lineup of HRC products ranging from thicknesses of 1.1 mm to 25.4 mm and from widths of 800 mm to 1,650 mm suitable for cold-forming at one end and to petroleum pipe on the other. During its first half-century of existence, Çolakoğlu Metalurji’s production consisted only of so-called “long products”–billets, rebar, wire rod, and ribbed coils. With the commissioning of its new investments in 2010, the company began shifting some of its production capacity away from long products and turning its attentions to flat products with higher added-value products suitable for manufacturing tubing & pipes, automotive components (including rims), agricultural tools, and machinery and construction equipment. The company has achieved significant progress especially in the homologation of its automotive components and wheel rims. As one of the leading firms in the Turkish iron & steel industry, our mission is to constantly move our sector forward one step at a time. Our goal is to achieve long-lasting success by increasing productivity and by expanding our product range with a focus on people’s needs and on environmental wellbeing. In the period ahead, Çolakoğlu Metalurji will be focusing even more onhigher value added products in an effort to increase its profitability by exploiting the advantages arising from mass production with the aims of meeting the needs of Turkish manufacturers with locally-made products and of increasing our competitive strength in international markets.
