CISDI wins refractory orders from Oyak

CISDI has won contracts to supply refractories for the Turkish steel sector.

Oyak Group’s Isdemir steelworks has placed an order for a new blast furnace 1, which will have a volume of 3,500 cubic metres.

Meanwhile the group’s Erdemir works requires a new blast furnace 2, which will have a volume of 2,100 cubic metres.

Oyak has an annual steel output of over 8 million tonnes. It is the largest steel producer in Turkey and ranks in the world’s top 50. As such, it is one of CISDI’s most important clients in Turkey and the Middle East.

Refractories play a major role in the service life of a blast furnace. Both blast furnaces’ refractories will be package-supplied by CISDI and the orders are seen as recognition of CISDI’s global-sourcing capability.

Oyak’s expertise ranges from iron and steel production to chemistry, cement production, energy and automotives.
