Berdan Bolt has been awarded an R&D certificate from the Ministry of Science, Industry and Technology of Turkey for the capabilities of its R&D centre.

Berdan was given the award for its R&D centre placing second within its sector and 161st within the whole of Turkey. In addition to its R&D department carrying out intense studies for fastener engineering solutions, Berdan Bolt has also been developing various products at the Technopark within the Mersin University campus.

When the company set off on its production journey 40 years ago there were only a few employees. Now Berdan Bolt has three production facilities within 33,000m2 of land with 265 workers. There are 38 engineers in the premises who work for the company and 8 of them are busy with research and development.
