Background

Oyak Mining Metallurgy Group owns and operates two facilities in Turkey, Isdemir steel plant and Erdemir steel plant.

Isdemir S.A. was established in 1970, but the steelmaking facilities did not begin until 1977.

The plant reportedly uses 100% scrap steel for production. It also has an on-site scrap yard with 200,000 tonne capacity.
