NG Kütahya, a Turkish tile manufacturer, has developed a plant for producing large-slab products using SACMI technology. The company is reportedly a long-standing SACMI customer and is described as a “leading player in the industry”.
Dedicated to the manufacture of technical and glazed porcelain stoneware slabs, the plant is part of a wider plan that aims to solidify the group’s position in the Turkish ceramic industry by raising overall capacity to more than 54m square metres a year. The goal is reportedly to drive forward development and export top-of-the-range products to European and American markets.
The new line was inaugurated on 28 February at a ceremony attended by Turkish Prime Minister, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, who highlighted how this investment will further boost both “Made in Turkiye” exports and employment at the NG Kütahya Group.
With an annual output capacity of 4.5m square metres of slabs and tiles, the factory was reportedly installed and commissioned in less than three months – and has been fully operational since the end of February. SACMI supplied systems for all departments, from forming to finished product sorting. Key machines in the layout include the Continua+, model PCR 2180, designed for achieving ultra-high productivity of large tiles and maxi slabs.
The plant is said to represent a major result for SACMI on the strategic Turkish market, the continuous growth and development of which is an ongoing source of satisfaction for the technology provider.
