HISTORY
ERKUNT was established initially as a casting and a pattern shop in 1953. By the year 1955, it had become a factory for casting and machining parts with the participation of 11 partners. The factory was chiefly engaged in the production of waste water pipes to NATO standards.
Eight years of experience, success and increased capacity then made a further change imperative: in 1961 the company became a corporation. Henceforward it would produce intermediate goods for the automotive, agricultural tractor and motor industries, utilizing the most advanced technology of the day.
Within the years, ERKUNT SANAYI A.S. gained more shareholders, and currently provides employment for 170 white collar and 750 blue collar workers, totaling 920 in a 50.000 ton/year capacity complex that is the leader in Turkey for gray and nodular casting production and mechanical processing.
With the completion of the second casting plant by mid 1996, the capacity reached 50.000 tons per year. This second casting plant is designed mainly for the production of engine blocks and heads to achieve high quality and competitive costs.
In a rapidly industrializing Turkey, ERKUNT SANAYI A.S. plays a major role in providing high quality cast parts for the automotive, agricultural tractor and motor industries. For the past six years the company has increasingly been exporting its products to the advanced nations of Europe.
ERKUNT, with its dynamic young staff, fully realizes that the only way to become established and hold a position in this new market is to offer the highest quality at the lowest possible prices. That is why ERKUNT devotes its efforts to the productivity, quality and R&D activities and applies SIX SIGMA methodology for improving its processes and makes its plant investments in line with state-of-the-art- technology.
Today, ERKUNT is an ISO/TS 16949 and ISO 9001 registered company and one of the largest independent casting and machining company in Europe
