Chemetall Surface Treatment Turkey, a unit of US-based specialty chemicals and advanced materials company Rockwoood Holdings, Inc., has announced that the formal opening of its production facility in Cayirova, Kocaeli, Turkey, will take place on Friday, April 30, 2010.
The new production facility will provide enhanced capabilities to various manufacturing sectors, including automotive, auto parts, aerospace, cold forming (tube and wire mills), general industry as well as steel and aluminum mills.
Chemetall, which has been operating in Turkey for more than 25 years, has completed its new investment in the Taysad Organized Industrial Zone (TOSB), combining its former plants in Gebze and Bursa, as well as its offices in Istanbul, under one single roof.

The new facility comprises a 5,000 square meter plant on an 11,000 square meter site. The full service plant has a complete infrastructure and is supported by about 50 employees committed to customer services.
