Gülezler Metal increases its production power with FICEP machines

Streamlining steel construction with precision and efficiency

A CUSTOMER-ORIENTED APPROACH BY GÜLEZLER METAL

Mr. Mehmet Duran Gülez, Chief Executive Officer of Gülezler Metal, explains the company’s business processes:

“When a customer approaches us for their steel construction needs in a new factory project, we support them at every stage of the process.”

METICULOUS PLANNING AND EXPERTISE

At the beginning of each project, the pre-production drawings provided by the customer are quickly transferred into the system by expert engineers, ensuring a well-structured and precise production plan. Gülezler Metal primarily operates in steel construction buildings, factory structures, and the machinery sector.

MAXIMIZING PRODUCTIVITY WITH CUTTING-EDGE FICEP SOLUTIONS

With the help of FICEP’s GEMINI, VALIANT and KATANA machines, the company performs all processes on single working cells. This integrated approach significantly reduces both time and costs, providing a major advantage in production efficiency.

Gülezler Metal, a company with 35 years of experience in the steel construction sector, stands out for offering comprehensive services in Adana and its surroundings.

They have significantly enhanced its productivity through its collaboration with ERFAB Makine, FICEP’s official agent in Turkey. Their production line, equipped with FICEP’s VALIANT, KATANA and GEMINI models, plays a key role in this improvement.
These machines deliver precision, speed, and energy efficiency in steel construction manufacturing while also reducing operational costs.

Providing insight into the production facility, Gülezler Metal’s Senior Production Supervisor and Mechanical Engineer Mr. Eyüp Kot, stated:

“We have three FICEP models in our facility: VALIANT, KATANA and GEMINI. With our VALIANT model, we perform hole drilling, countersinking, tapping, milling, pocketing, and marking operations. The products we manufacture are produced with millimeter precision thanks also to the FICEP CNC unit. We can process all three axes of the material simultaneously.
Our VALIANT primarily saves us time, as we no longer need to transfer products between different machines, all operations are carried out with precision on a single machine. Once these processes are completed, we move to KATANA for the final band sawing, making the product ready for dispatch.”

Highlighting that another key machine in Gülezler Group’s machinery lineup is the FICEP GEMINI, Mr. Kot stated:

“GEMINI is a plate drilling and thermal cutting machine, that allows us to perform drilling on plates.
The machines available in the market only perform plasma and oxygen cutting. Here, with the help of a 3-axis CNC unit, we can perform cold drilling on the plates, that prevents material deformation, which is one of the most important features our customers seek. Standard machines drill holes using heat treatment, which leads to deformation over time, but with cold drilling, we eliminate this issue. Additionally, we can carry out various operations such as milling, marking, countersinking, and tapping on plates ranging from 5 mm to 80 mm in thickness. This enables us to work with a wide range of standard plates.”

Mr. Kot further emphasized that, thanks to their quality control processes, the parts they produce fully comply with the standards set by their customers.

Mr. Nazmi Gülez, Deputy General Manager, shared details about the solutions implemented to always have their machines fully available, in order to quickly respond their customer demands.

He said:

“We established corporate communication through ERFAB. From the moment our machines were installed, we always receive prompt responses, and our problems are solved quickly.”

Thanks to the introduction of FICEP machines, Gülezler Metal have been able to serve their customers to allow them to complete their projects on time and to carry out operations smoothly.

They highlighted that the correct equipment selection and the professional approach by FICEP and ERFAB significantly contributed to the success of the project.

FICEP and ERFAB are proud to be business partners of Gülezler Metal, and we wish them to continue their successful projects by keeping customer satisfaction at the highest level!
