TURKEY - Standing out in the global market with its annual distribution of ceramics and natural stones exceeding 20 thousand containers in its logistics centers of 265 thousand square meters in Canada, America, and Turkey, Anatolia will launch the porcelain plates to be produced in the facility established in Izmir with an investment of 250 million dollars in the second quarter of 2023. The company, which closed 2022 with a 20% growth on a dollar basis, aims to complete its investments in Izmir in 5 years and reach 400 million dollars, taking the wind of its success behind it.

Anatolia will produce 1.6 x 3.2 meter porcelain plates for the first time in Turkey

Anatolia will design its large-sized porcelain slabs to be used in many areas, such as kitchen and bathroom countertops, floors, walls, outdoors, tables, cabinets, and furniture coverings.

Anatolia plans to commission the first three lines in the Izmir facility, which is designed as a total of 9 lines in a closed area of 200 thousand square meters, in the coming months. Thus, the company will produce porcelain plates with a capacity of 10 million square meters and will employ 200 people in the first phase. With the completion of the investment and the commissioning of other lines, this number is planned to exceed five hundred employees.

World-class firsts

Continuing its activities in Turkey with a 40 thousand square meter distribution center, office, and showroom in Izmir Aliağa since 2017, Anatolia will break new ground with its unprecedented production facility. The manufacturer, which will commission its integrated projects developed with a focus on sustainability, will implement the most advanced examples of the industry for the first time in the world, with its state-of-the-art furnace and production lines, fully automated raw material mixing plant, driverless transport vehicles, recyclable waste system, rooftop solar energy system, and Industry 4.0 applications. When the project is completed, the company plans to apply to LEED, the world's most preferred green building rating system, to receive the LEED Platinum Certificate, which represents the highest score.
