Why Turkish Foundries Are Turning to Chinese Pig Iron

Supplying Turkey’s Foundry Industry with Reliable Pig Iron from China — Tiegu’s Advantage

Turkey has long been recognized as one of the most important casting centers in Europe and the Middle East. From automotive components in Bursa to industrial machinery in Izmir and Konya, Turkish foundries play a key role in global manufacturing.
As the industry continues to grow, many foundries are turning to high-quality pig iron imported from China to ensure consistent melting performance, stable production, and cost efficiency.

Turkey’s Foundry Industry: Growing Demand, Limited Local Supply

Turkey ranks among the top five casting producers in Europe, yet its domestic pig iron production cannot fully meet the demand of the foundry sector.
Most foundries rely on imports to maintain output stability — especially for foundry-grade and ductile iron pig iron, which require precise chemical balance and low impurity levels.
As energy and raw material costs rise, sourcing stable, cost-effective pig iron has become a key factor in maintaining competitiveness.

Why Turkish Foundries Trust Chinese Pig Iron

1. Consistent Chemical Composition
   Chinese pig iron is well-known for its stable carbon and silicon ratios, helping Turkish foundries achieve smooth melting and reduce casting defects.

2. Competitive Pricing and Flexible Logistics
   With regular shipping routes from Chinese ports to Mersin, Izmir, and Istanbul, Chinese suppliers can offer both competitive prices and reliable delivery schedules — a combination highly valued by Turkish manufacturers.

3. Technical Documentation and Quality Assurance
   Chinese exporters such as Tiegu provide composition analysis, mill certificates, and loading inspection reports, ensuring full transparency and quality traceability — essential for Turkey’s ISO-certified foundries.
