The Eastern Black Sea Region is one of Turkey’s strategically important areas for the construction sector due to its challenging geography, climate conditions, and increasing need for construction. The sustainable, rapid, and safe progress of construction activities in this region largely depends on regional production of construction iron.
Local Production, Strong Infrastructure
Construction projects in the region—especially urban transformation and infrastructure works in provinces like Rize, Trabzon, Artvin, and Giresun—require highly durable materials. At this point, iron and steel production facilities established in the Eastern Black Sea provide a significant advantage in terms of both quality and supply times.
Particularly, sourcing products such as steel mesh, annealed wire, nails, and cold drawn bars from within the region reduces logistics costs and facilitates the timely completion of projects.
Economic and Strategic Contributions
The increase in iron and steel production in the region not only accelerates the construction sector but also boosts the overall regional economy. With the support of local employment and the development of transportation and raw material supply chains, production centers are becoming the cornerstone of regional development.
Moreover, this production power increases the competitiveness of local construction companies in the Eastern Black Sea region and raises export potential by supplying materials to projects outside the region.
Direct Effects on the Sector
- Supply Chain Shortens: Local production allows construction companies to meet their iron needs much faster.
- Cost Advantage: External expenses such as transportation and customs are reduced.
- Quality Standards Improve: Facilities in the region can offer solutions that are both compliant with standards and customized to customer demands with modern production technologies.
- Time Advantage in Projects: Delays in material supply are minimized thanks to domestic production, which shortens project delivery times.
Future Perspective
The continued increase in construction iron production in the Eastern Black Sea “region will remain one of the most important factors supporting the region’s construction process. With proper direction of investments and support for local producers, both regional development will accelerate and Turkey”’s construction sector will be built on stronger foundations.
