Chinese Manufacturer Exporting to Turkish Industry
Turkey is one of the world's largest cement producers, a major coal consumer, and has a growing mining sector producing boron, trona, copper, gold, chromite, and lignite. Turkish industrial companies are experienced international buyers with sophisticated procurement processes and strong demand for cost-competitive, quality-certified industrial components.
Elephant Rubber (Yexiang Hebei Conveying Machinery Co., Ltd.) manufactures and exports conveyor belts, polyurethane screen panels, and rubber wear components to Turkish industrial operators, EPC contractors, and industrial distributors.
Turkey's Key Conveyor Belt Markets
Cement Industry — World's Leading Producer
Turkey consistently ranks among the world's top five cement exporters. With over 50 integrated cement plants operated by companies including Çimsa, Limak Cement, Lafarge Turkey, Oyak Çimento, and Sabancı Group, the Turkish cement sector represents a large and steady market for conveyor belt replacement.
Belt requirements in Turkish cement plants: - Limestone quarry conveyors: Heavy EP belts, M24 abrasion cover, widths 800–1400mm - Raw mill and kiln feed: EP belts with heat-resistant covers for hot zones - Clinker conveying: HR belts rated to 150°C–200°C; steel cord for high-capacity lines - Cement packing and dispatch: Standard EP N17 cover
Lignite (Brown Coal) Mining — TKİ Operations
Turkish Coal Enterprises (TKİ) operates extensive open-cast lignite mines across Turkey, particularly in the Aegean region (Soma, Tunçbilek) and Central Anatolia (Seyitömer, Afşin-Elbistan). These are high-tonnage operations with large belt replacement volumes:
- EP and steel cord belts for overland and in-pit conveyors
- Fire-resistant covers for underground lignite operations
- Heat-resistant covers in areas affected by spontaneous combustion
Boron Mining — Eti Maden
Turkey holds 70% of the world's known boron reserves. Eti Maden operates mines and processing facilities at Kırka (Eskişehir), Bigadiç (Balıkesir), and Emet (Kütahya). Boron is mildly alkaline and requires covers with adequate chemical resistance for borate slurry exposure.
Copper, Gold, and Chromite Mining
- Alacer Gold (Çöpler mine, Erzincan) — large open-pit gold
- Eti Bakır (Kastamonu, Murgul) — copper
- Various chromite operations in Hatay, Adana, and Eastern Anatolia
Ports and Bulk Terminals
Turkey's Mediterranean and Black Sea ports handle large volumes of coal, iron ore, and other bulk commodities for its steel and power generation sectors. İskenderun, İzmir, Derince (Kocaeli), and Aliağa handle industrial bulk cargo requiring heavy-duty port conveyor systems.

Working with Turkish Industrial Buyers
Turkish industrial procurement is sophisticated. Buyers typically require:
- CE marking or equivalent DIN/ISO certification data
- Material test reports (hardness, tensile strength, abrasion per DIN 53516)
- Proforma invoice and LC (letter of credit) payment is commonly used
- Turkish language product documentation is appreciated (we can provide on request)
Elephant Rubber supplies full technical documentation packages and is experienced working with LC payment terms commonly used in Turkish industrial procurement.
