INDUSTRY
We pioneer R&D and innovation activities as a leading company in the Turkish industry. We produce sustainable raw materials for strategic industries.
WE DRAW OUR STRENGTH FROM KNOWLEDGE AND INNOVATION.
Cengiz Holding, one of Türkiye's largest industrial enterprises, is the only company that can produce copper and aluminum from mine to end-product.
Cengiz Holding, which acquired Eti Copper in 2004 and Eti Aluminum in 2005 from the Privatization Administration, upgraded both companies’ plants with state-of-the-art technology for integrated mining and started production mainly for the domestic market. Making continued investments, the company reduced the carbon footprint of all its plants below the European average and quickly became the major raw material supplier for strategic industries. Cengiz Holding also produces end products in cobalt, considered the 'element of the century', at ICoNiChem in Widnes, England, which it acquired in 2020.
Adopting a 'zero waste' policy in mining in line with advancements in technology and R&D studies, Cengiz Holding produces projects that process mining waste dating back to the public era and even as far back as the Genoese, thus bringing them back into the economy.
Eti Copper
With its Smelting and Electrolysis Plant in Samsun, as well as a total of nine facilities located in Küre (Kastamonu), Lahanos (Giresun), Murgul (Artvin), Cerattepe (Artvin), Adıyaman, Siirt, Halıköy (İzmir), and Mazıdağı (Mardin), it produces 90,000 tons of cathode copper annually with a purity of 99.99%. Providing employment to 7,000 people, Eti Bakır also supports Turkish farmers through its Eti Gübre brand. Through its Mazıdağı facility, Eti Bakır recovers valuable metals from waste materials, ensuring that $750 million remains in Türkiye each year. Eti Bakır also owns a gold mine in Tereksay, Kyrgyzstan.
Eti Aluminum
Eti Alüminyum, with its large-scale facility in Seydişehir spread over an area of 2 million square meters, produces 82,000 tons of aluminum annually, meeting 10% of Türkiye’s aluminum demand. Since 2005, our group company has made investments totaling $700 million and supports supply security—particularly for the defense industry—by producing strategic products through its R&D activities. Employing 1,700 people, the facility meets all of its electricity needs from renewable energy sources and continues its operations in line with its “green aluminum” goal.
ICoNiChem
UK-based ICoNiChem produces special cobalt salts for technology-intensive industries. The plant, whose cobalt production increased from 900 tons to 1.800 tons with the investments made after joining Cengiz Holding, converts products from Eti Copper’s Mardin Mazıdağı Metal Recovery and Integrated Fertilizer Plant into cobalt products with 99.99% purity. Exporting to more than 10 countries, ICoNiChem also recycles the black mass (waste battery powder) of electric vehicles and recycles nickel and cobalt back into the economy.
