Ataturk's Turkey, the export orders to be examined whether foundation of iron and steel industry after the attempted 2 times and the results of efforts to establish deferred factory due allowance absence despite the positive came up with the examination for the third time the Russian delegation in 1932 was restarted. In the 1925 in Turkey to examine whether foundation of economic principles in the iron and steel industry was started by the Ministry of Economy. In the 1925, one of the experts in Luxembourg for the study of oil deposits. Lucius, on the other hand, to study coal and iron ore, is one of the professors of the Leopen Mining School in Austria. Granigg was brought. Dr. Granigg, to establish iron and steel industry in Turkey for the existence of favorable iron ore, coal our whether it is suitable for making iron and steel coke to be used in industry, iron and steel in an economic way the industry was commissioned to examine the need to set up in anywhere in Turkey. Dr. During the works of Granigg, a general directorate was established in the Ministry of Commerce, and other experts were brought in. Our mines were inspected, the coking tests of the coal in Maurice and in Germany in Germany and the iron ore in Medinger in Luxembourg were analyzed. However, these studies could not be continued and the establishment of the iron and steel industry did not come up until 1928. In the beginning of 1928, a meeting was held in Erkan-ı Harbiye and the situation of iron and steel industry was re-examined; The establishment of 1932 years to work in the iron and steel industry in Turkey began its examination of the Russian delegation for the third time. According to the report of the delegation, 1929 thousand tons of 1930 thousand tons per year according to the customs statistics, 150 thousand tons / year will be needed in the future, considering the need for the production of blast furnaces will be established for the production of blast furnaces, the chemical industry will be established for the blast furnace is very important by-products in terms of chemical industry It was determined that sulfuric acid and other sub-industry to be established around the heavy industrial center would be economical.

TRANSFORMATION FROM DAMAGES TO CURRENT PERIODS
The pre-privatization of the 1984-1994 between the years 14 million dollars invested by the state was constantly harmed. The giant factory, which could not renew itself due to the inability to make the necessary investments at the state, started the modernization and plant renovation works after privatization. The steel production system was changed and the converter system was switched. For these investments, which were made to compete with the world, 210 million dollars were spent, including financial expenses. Kardemir, 1995 million dollars in 5.982, 1996 million dollars in 30.217 and 1997 in the year 43.592 million dollars. 1998 Asian and Russian crises caught while Kardemir also invest in the modernization of the steel industry as into trouble in Turkey. Kardemir, who could not provide the easiness it expected from the state for the transportation of the raw materials purchased from state institutions, faced unfair competition when he could not benefit from the subsidies provided for Electric Arc Furnaces. In the meantime, Isdemir's support for the sale of cheap iron and steel products, taking the support of the state, forced Kardemir to cut the price. Turkish iron and steel industry received the biggest blow from the global crisis since the end of 1997. Kardemir and İsdemir, which produce construction steel known as long products, are faced with unfair competition. Beginning to suffer from 1998, Kardemir closed the 1998 million dollars, the 4.788 1999 million dollars, the 71.441 2000 million dollars. KARDEMİR announced the 2001 balance sheet as 118,635 million TL loss. Scrap name unsupervised under way into Turkey quality billet, rebar was offered the use of the country's rail and ship made from sheet completed its life. The chemical compositions and mechanical properties of these non-standard buildings were collapsed during the November 17 August and 12 earthquakes. Thousands of people died and billions of dollars in financial losses were caused by poor iron use. Despite all these negative developments, KARDEMİR continued its unstoppable path as a last resort and started to give direction to its investments with loans from abroad. 2008 236 million profit per year with the closing KARDEMİR, while in 2009 72 announced losses per million. In the 2010 year, KARDEMIR entered the profitable period and closed the year with a profit of 21 million TL. 2011 155 million TL profit in the year of the factory, 2012 with the year 194 million TL profit covered. XARX 2013 100 million TL profit with the year of the year, and 2014 331 million TL profit with the year ended. Today, the factory invested more than 1 billion dollars and invested approximately 100 million dollars in this investment and showed respect for nature. Faced with the promises he constantly polluted the environment, KARDEMİR has adopted the principle of being an environmentally conscious and EU standards factory with his new projects. Today, with the investment of 100 million dollars in the environment, using the gases removed from the chimneys, new investment areas and the market emerged. KARDEMİR also give up essential that the investments and ongoing investments to stand despite all the problems, today was the preferred brand in Turkey and the country's railway networks began to knit together again after years 45.
WAS THE WORLD BRAND
After the privatization of KARDEMIR, an investment of 1999 million dollars was made until 250. After the 2003 year, the furnaces were renewed and revarted. By renewing the rail and profile rolling mill, the products were produced both in product range and in single Kardemir. With these, the country needs to produce long length rail, big size profile, angle iron and metal pole. It has become a strong institution by producing high quality steel. Soon after privatization, 1 has invested over a billion dollars.
”OUR COMPANY WILL PARTICIPATE A COMPETITIVE LOCATION IN THE SECTOR“
KARDEMİR A.Ş. Deputy Chairman of the Board Kamil Güleç stated that KARDEMİR had made great strides in the last 12 year, and started to invest in 1995 soon after the privatization in 1999 and the breakthrough started with the Oxygen Converters started in 1999. told.
Explaining that Ray Profil Rolling Mill, which was opened in 2007, was an important turning point for the company, Güleç said, “With this investment, KARDEMİR became one of the most important strategic partners of TCDD, while it was the only company that produces railway rails in our country. It was not very easy for our company to realize this investment, which led to KARDEMİR winning with its high value-added rail production and the fact that TCDD could obtain this product, which is an import substitute, from Kardemir. In a company that has been brought to the point of sinking with its activities between 1999 and 2002, descended under the debt burden, put its employees on unpaid leave, by making the decision of such an important investment after the second half of 2002, we pledged our stocks as a loan guarantee and provided loans for 12 years. We made this investment in the period of 2005-2007. Our target was to increase the production capacity in KARDEMİR in accordance with the scale economy. In 2008, we commissioned the blast furnace number 500 with a capacity of 4 thousand tons / year. In 2011, we destroyed our blast furnace number 1939, which was built in 1, and installed a new blast furnace with a capacity of 500 thousand tons and increased our capacity to 1,8 million tons. In this period when the world steel industry was growing rapidly, we could not stand in our place. This time we targeted the new furnace number 1,2 with a 5 million capacity and started the investment. In parallel with this, we have commissioned the blast furnace number 5 and material manipulation facilities suitable for this size with investments such as a coke factory, power plant, continuous casting machine, oxygen converter, air separation plant, lime factory. 4. Air separation and other arrangements in the steel house continue. The investments that will turn the production reached and the targeted liquid steel capacity into products with high added value continue. With the investment of Çubuk and Kangal Rolling Mill, among these investments, the products needed by the machinery manufacturing industry, especially the automotive industry, will now be produced in KARDEMİR. Again, by using our advantage of being an integrated iron and steel plant, we have started the investment of railway wheel production facility, which is one of the most important infrastructure materials of railways along with the rail and is met with imported substitution. With this investment, which has been expanding its product range of KARDEMİR, which has been producing only construction steel and structural steel since its foundation, to serve many different sectors, our company will gain a more competitive position in the sector, and will be an active player not only in domestic markets but also in export markets. ”
”IT WAS NOT EASY TODAY”
Kamil Güleç stated that KARDEMİR, which was decided to be closed in 1994 on the grounds that it could not be privatized on the grounds that its economic and technological life was over, and where lien officers walked at its door during 1999-2002, today has a strong financial structure, serves its environment and country, its employees are happy and Expressing that it is a company in which he is at peace, he said, “These days have not come easily. Above all, this success has been achieved with the great devotion and efforts of our board of directors, the brave and determined steps on time, the superior efforts of our employees, and the increasing trust and support of our employees. This success would not have been achieved if one of the supports was missing. KARDEMİR, which produces 500 thousand tons per year, approached 20 million tons after 3,5 years. KARDEMİR, whose door is wanted to be locked, has now become a world company that has reached more than 6 times capacity ”.
TWO NEW FACTORY
Gulec also Turkey's only rail producer Kardemir again the needs of the automotive and machinery manufacturing industry first with a single manufacturer would railway wheels, which will produce high quality steel and stating that "low in Bar and Wire Rod Mill to be established and high-carbon steel, prestressed concrete steel, high alloy steels, bearing steels, automat steel, spring steels, welding wires, automotive steels and special bar steels will be produced. This investment is continuing and we plan to complete and commission it in the first half of this year. In addition, we will be completing the next phase of the 2016 Railway Wheel Factory, which is another ongoing investment of freight and passenger cars and locomotive wheels. Bun
