Comprehensive Raw Material Supply to the Pearl of the Marmara
Located on the southern coast of the Sea of Marmara at a ferry's distance from Istanbul, Yalova has a vibrant economy despite its small surface area. Thermal tourism, agriculture, industry, and the rapidly developing construction sector diversify this province's raw material demand. Say Quartz responds to the sectoral needs of the region by supplying quartz sand, silica sand, and filter sand to all six districts of Yalova from its production facility in Corlu/Tekirdag.
Construction Sector and Building Chemicals
Yalova is experiencing rapid growth, particularly in the housing sector, thanks to its proximity to Istanbul. Housing projects, residential buildings, and commercial spaces in the central district and Çiftlikköy continuously keep the demand for quartz sand in construction chemicals production active. Say Quartz's quartz sands in 12 different grain sizes are used as the primary raw material in the production of grout compounds, plaster, screed, and exterior facade coating products.
Holiday home and resort projects in Çınarcık add another dimension to the demand for molding sand and epoxy aggregate. Exterior facade applications add aesthetic value to buildings, while epoxy floor coating systems form the durable floors of parking areas and common spaces. Construction around the industrial zone in Altınova is another source generating regular demand for these products.
Tourism Construction in Termal and Armutlu
Termal district, as its name implies, is a region known for thermal spa tourism. Quality building materials are used in the construction and renovation of hotels, spa centers, and accommodation facilities. Holiday villages and apart-hotel projects on the Armutlu peninsula require similar raw materials. Say Quartz products can be preferred in epoxy floor coatings, pool surrounds, and outdoor surface applications at these facilities.
Industrial Facilities and Industrial Applications
Altınova district is the most important area representing Yalova's industrial identity. Shipbuilding yards, automotive supply industry facilities, and various manufacturing workshops are concentrated in this district. Sandblasting sand is heavily used in steel construction manufacturing at shipyards and in ship maintenance and repair processes. Say Quartz's sandblasting and surface preparation sands deliver effective cleaning and smooth results in surface preparation operations.
Silica sands are also among the raw materials needed by foundry and metal processing facilities in Altınova. Say Quartz's silica sands, produced in 7 different granulometries, ensure high surface quality in casting molds. Small-scale industrial facilities in Çiftlikköy also use quartz sand and silica sand at various stages of production.
Drinking Water Treatment and Filter Sands
The growing population of Yalova and the tourist numbers that multiply during summer months make the capacity and efficiency of drinking water treatment facilities a critical issue. The increase in water consumption during summer in Çınarcık and Armutlu, as well as in the central district, makes it essential for treatment systems to operate at consistently high performance.
Say Quartz's filter sands, offered in 11 different types, are the primary material for filtration layers in municipal water treatment facilities. Filter materials are also used in the special treatment processes applied for thermal waters in Termal district. Complementary Say Quartz products such as Hydroanthracite, Activated Carbon, and Garnet offer integrated solutions in multi-layer filtration systems.
Sports Facilities and Recreation Areas
Artificial turf field facilities throughout Yalova are sports areas heavily used by both local residents and vacationers. Facilities in Merkez, Çiftlikköy, and Çınarcık require quality artificial turf sand as surface infill. Say Quartz's round-grain artificial turf sands prioritize athlete safety and playing comfort.
Playground sands used in parks and children's play areas along the Yalova coastline are also part of the Say Quartz product range. Hygienic sands suitable for children's health are preferred in recreation projects at the beaches of Armutlu and Çınarcık.
Logistical Convenience in the Marmara Region
The distance between Say Quartz's production facility in Corlu and Yalova makes fast delivery possible thanks to the well-developed transportation network of the Marmara Region. Highway and ferry connections shorten delivery times and guarantee timely transportation to all districts of Yalova. Say Quartz, producing with 35 years of experience under Kumsay Madencilik, can meet every demand — from small-scale projects to large-volume industrial orders — with a daily capacity of 5,000 tons.
