Company
Profile
an equal share joint-venture
between the Eczacba Group and
the Lincoln Electric Company
Established in 1974, Askaynak is a joint-venture
with Lincoln Electric, the world leader in the design,
development and manufacturing of arc welding
products, robotic welding systems, plasma and
oxyfuel cutting equipment.
The relationship between Askaynak and Lincoln
Electric dates back to 1992, when Askaynak became
the exclusive distributor in Turkey for Lincoln
Electric-branded welding machinery and
equipment. In 1998, this agreement was
transformed into a full-fledged partnership with
Lincoln Electric's acquisition of a 50 percent stake in
the company. Through this partnership, Askaynak
has developed valuable links with Lincoln Electric's
global activities, which include manufacturing
operations, joint-ventures and alliances in 21
countries, and a network of distributors and sales
offices covering more than 160 countries.
Askaynak's strength in the highly competitive
Turkish market reflects the accurate positioning of
its two main product lines: ASKAYNAK and
KOBATEK. ASKAYNAK products primarily comprise
stick electrodes and solid GMA and SA welding wires
for the manufacturing industry, while the KOBATEK
product line mainly carries welding products for
protective maintenance and repair welding
applications.

Production Line

Askaynak's new plant in the Taysad Organized Industrial Zone in Kocaeli-TURKEY


has a combined production capacity of close to 65 thousand tons of welding
electrodes and gas metal arc and submerged arc welding wire.

The plant's technical features, including its


low water and energy consumption,
advanced safety features and high
productivity, are expected to make it a
model for other invensments of this kind
around the world.

Askaynak was the first manufacturer of welding
consumables in Turkey to receive ISO 9001
certification, one of the most comprehensive and
prestigious international standards for quality
systems from RWTV in June 1995. This
certification reflects Askaynak's commitment to
superior quality and to the enhancement of its

DIN EN ISO 9001 : 2000

All Askaynak products are manufactured to


European standards and specifications using top
quality, pre-tested and quality approved raw
materials. We test all raw materials in our quality
assurance and material research laboratories using
strict quality control methods to ensure that their
chemical compositions meet our standards.
Representative samples from each heat are
retested for mechanical properties, chemical
compositions, weldability, deposit soundness and
hardness.
We guard our reputation carefully by making sure
every product is of the very highest quality.
Askaynak derives its strength from its long standing
focus on quality, which earned it the prestigious
"TSAD-KalDer Quality Award" for Small and
