R&D Center
Our R&D department, which has been operating with continuous development and growth objectives since its establishment, obtained ministry approval in 2019 and has since continued its activities as an R&D Center.
Our R&D Center operates with the goals of optimizing copper wire production processes to enhance efficiency, contributing to sustainability, reducing costs, improving product quality, expanding the product range, supporting the organization's strategic objectives, and increasing knowledge accumulation.
Details About Our R&D Center
Staffed by a majority of postgraduate-educated experts from various disciplines, our R&D Center has successfully completed numerous projects supported by external funding sources such as TÜBİTAK-TEYDEB (The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey, Technology and Innovation Support Programs Directorate) and GEKA (South Aegean Development Agency), as well as internal resources. Additionally, the first and only HAMLE project in the Denizli region under the "Technology-Oriented Industry Initiative" is being carried out at the Er-Bakır R&D Center.
The scientific outputs from the projects conducted at our center have been presented at congresses, conferences, and symposiums and have been published in prestigious journals, including those indexed in SCI and classified as Q1.
Our R&D Center collaborates with many leading universities in Turkey on technical and academic projects. These collaborations include conducting R&D projects, supporting postgraduate and undergraduate theses, and implementing student programs within the framework of long-term workplace protocols.
Our center works with various institutions and companies to enhance collaborations, develop joint R&D projects, produce high-quality academic and technical outputs, carry out sustainability initiatives, and participate in national and international cooperation platforms and consortia. Particular focus is given to developing mutual green policies.
In addition to new product and process development projects, our R&D Center focuses on contemporary areas such as carbon footprint reduction, greenhouse gas emissions, energy efficiency, green transformation, technological transformation, worker health, and ergonomics.
Leveraging interdisciplinary academic resources and partnerships, we integrate the latest solutions in the literature, advanced processes, and state-of-the-art technologies into our projects. These efforts span high-value-added sectors, including renewable energy systems and transportation technologies.
We offer advanced testing and experimentation capabilities with our state-of-the-art laboratory equipment and infrastructure. Our researchers can also utilize the laboratory facilities of partner universities and research centers in addition to our R&D laboratories.
While the academic aspects of our projects are robust, our center also features a prototype casting facility capable of conducting special trials for high-value-added copper alloy materials.
