Focusing on eco-friendly production Guney Celik Inc is focused on environ mental and sustainable production in its 30 th year.

The company views its production and investments, such as Civida branded nail and screw production facilities, as being at the infrastructure stage. Therefore it focuses not only on sales volume or turnover targets but also on systems that can be developed in production, marketing and sales, and how these systems can be made sustainable. The company has integrated artificial intelligence technologies into its pro duction models while developing prod ucts and methods with high corrosion resistance. Mr Menemencioglu highlighted that the company regularly increases its ranking in the list of Turkey’s Top 1,000 Exporters, and in the Istanbul Chamber of Industry’s “Turkey’s Top 500 Industrial Enterprises”.

Mr Menemencioglu emphasised that Guney Celik has been exporting not only iron and steel but also quality and reliability, to six continents – mainly Europe, Asia and America – since its establishment. He noted that by developing new production technologies in the wire industry, with the first R&D centre approved by Turkey’s Ministry of Industry and Technology, the company presented customers with innovative and higher quality products. “We are Turkey’s largest producer and exporter, with seven galvanised wire production lines that delay corrosion and extend the life of steel,” said Mr Menemencioglu. “At the same time, we are the first and main producer of Arzincal brandwires with high corrosion resistance in Turkey. Our production lines are not limited to galvanising processes. We have the largest production capacity in Turkey for pre-stressed concrete strand and pre stressed concrete wire.”

Tenova, a developer and provider of sus tainable solutions for the green transition of the metals industry, has been awarded two contracts by Tenaris for its mill in Dalmine, Italy. Both contracts are related to the steelmaker’s new investment in special steel production. The two compa nies belong to the Techint Group. The Dalmine project is divided into three phases, two of which will be supplied by Tenova. The first phase consists of a melt shop ladle furnace that will be used for secondary metallurgical treatment of the liquid steel. The second project phase will consist of a Tenova-designed and -supplied heat treatment furnace for special steel bars. The movable hood-type furnace is specifically designed to charge very large bars with a length of 12m, and is equipped with 34 hydrogen-ready self-recuperative burners that will be capable of using up to 100 per cent hydrogen as a fuel source. Tenova self-recuperative burners provide energy savings compared to traditional preheated air burners, playing a role in re ducing CO 2 emission levels in steelmaking plants. In addition to fuel savings, Tenova burners’ flameless technology produces a low NOx emission level. The main fea tures of Tenova regenerative burners are The company, which is part of the Arsan Group, provides services to many sectors, especially construction, wire, cable, security, energy, transportation and agri- culture, with the production of coated wire, uncoatedwire, pre-stressed concrete strand, pre-stressed concrete wire and qualified nails. It has exported over 50 per cent of the production carried out in its facilities to more than 70 countries. Guney Celik general manager Hamza Menemencioglu stated that the company has added value to metal by investing in the future over its 30 years of production, and said, “Since 1992, we export qual ity and trust from Adana and Gebze [in Turkey] to the world by constantly de veloping with an understanding that prioritises nature and human resources and new production technologies.”

the opportunity of this project to make a step forward. Working with Tenova’s engineering and R&D, we designed a plant ready to start the substitution of natural gas with hydrogen as fuel for our industrial furnaces.” With this investment, the Dalmine mill will produce high-grade special steel resistant to corrosion in carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulphide environments. The special steel product will also be used for renewable energy technologies such as geothermal wells. Tenova www.tenova.com

optimal thermal uniformity, extended combustion stability, advanced control technology, low maintenance and contin uous product evolution. Flexibility in fuel combustion is another advantage, as the burners are already designed and manu factured to be hydrogen-ready. “The installation of a new 100 per cent H 2 -ready furnace is part of Tenaris’s commitment to reducing the environmental impact of its activity, embracing innovation and technological change,” commented Giuseppe Pandini, Tenaris senior project manager. “Beside selecting the best energy saving technology for the burners, we took
