Oldrati opens second silicone product plant in Turkey

Villongo, Italy – Oldrati Group continues its expansion by inaugurating the second Turkish factory. 10 years after the opening of the first Oldrati Kauçuk plant in Bursa, Oldrati has completed the construction of the new plant in the city of Eskisehir.

The building will see around 60 workers at work and was designed with a view to further doubling of production space in the next period.

This new production unit aims to strengthen the presence of the Oldrati Group in Turkey and the Middle East. The plant will specialize in the production of technical articles in rubber, silicone and multi-component assembly activities. In particular, the creation of silicone products represents a specialty that is not yet particularly widespread in Turkey, for this reason the Oldrati Group will be one of the first companies to carry out this type of activity, leveraging its know-how developed internationally.

“In recent years, we have learned to know and love Turkey very well, it is a country with great potential for development and marked entrepreneurial dynamism, both for large groups and medium-sized companies. We have chosen to double our presence in Turkey by focusing on new and innovative productions and skills for the Turkish competitive context but widely established for our Group. This will be the proposal we bring to our current and future customers: innovation, skills and international reach” – commented the CEO of the Group, Manuel Oldrati.

“We chose the city of Eskisehir because it is particularly rich in young talent and quality professionals thanks to the local schools and universities. Furthermore, it is located in an area with a strong industrial vocation with the presence of various multinationals, in the automotive, aerospace, household appliances and manufacturing sectors in general with which we hope to be able to build solid collaborations. added Giorgio Frassine, Country Manager of Oldrati Kauçuk.
