Çelik Halat
Çelik Halat ve Tel Sanayii A.Ş.
Setting up operations in 1962 and manufacturing steel ropes for the first time in 1968, Çelik Halat ve Tel Sanayi A.Ş. is one of Doğan Holding’s longest-established industrial investments. Today, the company produces steel ropes, industrial high carbon galvanized wires, finished galvanized wires, turnbuckles, industrial spring wires, mattress spring wires, bead wires, and pre-stressed wires and strands. Çelik Halat services a wide range of industries from automotive suppliers to white goods manufacturers, and from telecommunications to energy.
In 2010, although the negative effects of the global economic crisis were lessening, growth remained limited because those companies purchasing and using these products maintained a cautious attitude. However, we achieved a 40 percent year-on-year increase in sales, thanks to our successful operations.
In 2010, the Company’s steel rope sales achieved a year-on-year increase of 29 percent in total; 24 percent domestically and 32 percent internationally. Industrial spring wire sales increased by 30 percent in galvanized wires and by 50 percent in black wire. Market share also increased by 5 percent for both products and reached 37 percent in galvanized wire and 28 percent in black wire. Sales of bead wires increased by 36 percent and their market share grew to 66 percent from 56 percent. Sales of pre-stressed strand also achieved a 58 percent year-on-year increase. Consequently, the Company maintained its market share of 50 percent.
Çelik Halat owes this success to increased capacity as a result of new investments made last year, as well as the capability to respond efficiently to international demand. As a result, overseas sales increased by 75 percent and share of exports in total sales rose to 33 percent from 26 percent.
