Raw Material Support for Kocaeli's Industrial Power
Kocaeli, home to one of Turkey's most intensive industrial corridors, sits at the center of the chemicals, automotive, metal casting, and construction sectors. Production facilities located around the Gulf of Izmit require uninterrupted access to quality raw materials. Say Quartz directly responds to this need with its logistics network reaching all districts of Kocaeli from its production site in Çorlu/Tekirdağ. Operating under Kumsay Madencilik with a daily production capacity of 5,000 tons, Say Quartz puts its 35 years of sector experience at the service of Kocaeli's industry.
Silica Sands for the Foundry and Metal Sector
Foundry facilities concentrated throughout Kocaeli, particularly in the Gebze and Dilovası areas, need high-purity silica sand. Say Quartz's silica sands in 7 different granulometries provide superior surface quality and dimensional precision in casting molds. Metal processing factories in Dilovası's organized industrial zone and automotive sub-industry facilities in Gebze use these products intensively in their production processes.
Heavy industry establishments in Körfez and Derince districts also have an important share in the demand for foundry sand and sandblasting sand. Say Quartz products preferred in sandblasting and surface preparation operations deliver high performance in surface preparation and cleaning processes. Sandblasting sand use is widespread across a wide range from steel construction production to ship maintenance and repair.
Supply to Production Facilities in Gebze and Çayırova
Gebze is home to one of Turkey's largest organized industrial zones. Together with Çayırova, this region contains hundreds of facilities operating in chemical production, plastics, glass, and ceramics sectors. A significant portion of these facilities use quartz sand in different grain sizes in their production processes. Say Quartz's quartz sands in 12 different grain sizes are designed with the flexibility to meet the specific requirements of each production line.
Construction Chemicals and the Construction Sector
Kocaeli's rapidly growing urban fabric creates constant raw material demand in the construction sector. Ongoing residential and commercial building projects in the center of Izmit, villa and residence construction in Başiskele and Kartepe, are increasing the use of quartz sand in construction chemical production. Say Quartz quartz sands are among the preferred raw materials in the production of grout fillers, plaster, screed, and exterior cladding materials.
Construction activities in Darıca and Karamürsel are also among the factors feeding demand for facade molding sand and epoxy aggregate. Fine-grained quartz sands used in exterior facade molding applications play a decisive role in terms of aesthetic appearance and durability. In epoxy floor coating systems, Say Quartz's specially granulated products contribute to achieving smooth and long-lasting surfaces.
Drinking Water Treatment and Filter Sands
Kocaeli's growing population and industrial activities make the capacity and efficiency of drinking water treatment facilities critical. Municipal water treatment facilities in high-population districts such as Izmit, Gebze, Darıca, and Gölcük can benefit from Say Quartz's filter sands offered in 11 different types. These sands used in the filtration process directly affect the clarity and safety of water.
Industrial water treatment is also a critical field in Kocaeli. Factories in Dilovası, Körfez, and Çayırova use filter sand in process water and wastewater treatment systems. Say Quartz's other filter products such as Hydroanthracite, Activated Carbon, and Garnet offer complementary solutions in multi-layer filtration systems.
Water Quality in Kandıra and Karamürsel
The rural structure of Kandıra and the residential areas in Karamürsel's coastal region present different needs in clean water supply. Filtration in agricultural irrigation systems in Kandıra, and the drinking water infrastructure of residential areas in Karamürsel stand out. In both regions, filter sand quality is one of the factors that directly determines water treatment performance.
Sports Facilities and Recreation Areas
The number of artificial turf facilities throughout Kocaeli increases every year. Artificial turf businesses operating in Izmit, Gebze, Başiskele, and Kartepe use specially produced artificial turf field sand as ground fill. Say Quartz's round-grained and skin-friendly artificial turf field sands are produced conforming to standards for athlete safety and surface performance.
Playground sands designed for parks and play areas in Gölcük and Darıca are also part of Say Quartz's product range. These sands, which are child-health-friendly, hygienic, and soft-textured, can be safely used in municipalities' recreation area projects.
Logistical Advantage: Fast Delivery in the Marmara Region
The distance between Say Quartz's production facility in Çorlu and Kocaeli enables fast and economical delivery thanks to the Marmara Region's well-developed road network. Direct transportation is provided to Izmit, Gebze, Darıca, Çayırova, and Dilovası via the TEM and D-100 motorways. Proximity to Derince port creates an additional advantage for large-volume orders requiring sea shipment.
Say Quartz, which makes regular shipments to all of Kocaeli's districts, offers an uninterrupted supply chain across a broad geography from Körfez to Kandıra, from Gölcük to Kartepe. Thanks to the high-capacity production line, urgent and large-tonnage orders are also fulfilled on time.
