SANKO’s initial investment in cement industry was the acquisition of
Adıyaman Cement from the Privatization Authority. Acquisition of
Bartın Cement from the privatization tender in 2005 and the speedy completion – after only 18 months of construction, of
Narlı Cement in 2007 marked the other steps in the steady growth of
Sanko in this industry.
With a combined production capacity of 4.7 million metric tons of
clinker and 7.45 million metric tons of
cement pursuant to the TSE and Europe ENV 197-1 specifications, the
cement factories strictly adhere to the norms and requirements specified by TS-EN-ISO 9001:2000 Quality Management System Certificate, EC compliance certificate, Council for Quality & Environment Certificate, OHSAS 180001 Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems Certificate.
