Cetin Civata continues to grow
08 May 2017
Cetin Civata has started the construction of its fifth plant – to be located in Yalova, Turkey – further reaffirming its position as one of the biggest fastener manufacturing groups in eastern Europe.
Cetin Civata, part of the Tecde Group, provides a flexible service for both end users and distributors – manufacturing a wide variety of products in both metric and unified thread. Key products include hexagon head bolts, structural steel bolting, socket head bolts, wheel bolts, machine screws, flange head bolts, self-tapping screws, chipboard screws, thread forming screws and nuts.
As an international company, Cetin serves numerous sectors including automotive, home appliances, furniture, machinery, construction, mining, agriculture, plus many more.
One of the company’s biggest strengths is that all its processes are carried out in-house, starting from wire preparation to final packing. Modern production plants enable the company to manufacture standard and drawing parts with a range of M3 – M27. Cetin predominately uses cold forming technology for manufacturing, but is also able to apply secondary operations for the parts such as drilling, pointing, cutting, stripping and grinding.
Through its own dedicated tool shop, Cetin can design and manufacture 90% of its tooling demands – using high-tech machines and simulation applications. Also, thanks to its own PLC controlled continuous electric and gas heat treatment furnaces, Cetin is able to provide all required grades from 4.6 to 12.9. The carbon steel and stainless steel materials used to produce the bolts are mainly sourced from Turkish and European qualified manufacturers.
