Canakkale Seramik-Kalebodur, a leader in the manufacture of ceramic tiles has unveiled its latest series of products, which will see the company consolidating its presence in the regional markets.
“The Turkish manufacturer has introduced three new series to its existing product lines – Highway, Rainbow mosaics and Pool ceramics – which will transform the surroundings, both indoors as well as outdoors,” says a company spokesman.
Highway
Aimed at presenting a natural touch as well as natural appearance to surfaces, Canakkale Seramik-Kalebodur has now added the Highway series to its Metropolitan segment.
“The series – available in white and gray colours and in the 33 by 50 cm format – creates an impression of concrete, both indoors and outdoors,” he says.
“The Highway series offers clients the irresistibility of the simple, a gratification for the state-of-the-art and the aesthetics of the concrete surface.”
Rainbow mosaics
“Designers who long to create colourful yet minimalist lines, will find the 2.5 by 2.5 cm / 1” by 1" Rainbow Mosaic products to be a favourite,” says the spokesman.
“With a wide choice of 20 stunning colours, the range offers the means to create the desired contemporary designs also in different colour combinations. If you wish to make your own rainbow in the spaces you create, you can use the Rainbow Mosaics together with the 5 by 5 cm and 10 by 10 cm floor and wall tiles of the Rainbow series.”
Pool ceramics
“The Pool ceramics range meets the aesthetics, hygenic and functional requirements of state-of-the-art swimming pools,” says the spokesman.
“We offer our products to professionals who seek rational solutions in three groups - be it special border tiles, the inner surface and wall tiles, as well as surrounding anti-slip tiles.”
Formed following the recent merger of two Turkish giants in the ceramics sector – Canakkale Seramik Fabrikalari (Turkey’s first ceramics tiles producer, established in 1957), and Kalebodur Seramik Sanayi (the country’s first floor tiles producer to be set up in 1972) – Kaleseramik has long established itself as a leading manufacturer of quality ceramic products in the region.
“While Canakkale Seramik became synonymous with quality in wall tiles, Kalebodur became the generic name for the product itself,” says the spokesman.
“Currently, Kaleseramik accounts for 33 per cent of Turkey’s production of ceramics and has the latest technology at its facility. The company also accounts for 40 per cent of the country’s ceramics exports.
“The company, which produces the trademark tiles of Canakkale Seramik and Kalebodur, is the biggest ceramic tile factory in the world in a single compound and has a production capacity of 62 million sq m per year. Kale Eksport, the exporting company of the Kale Group, exports to more than 50 countries all over the world.
Kaleseramik – through its 27 plants spread across the region - produces in excess of 27 million sq m of wall tiles, 30 million sq m of floor tiles, and five million sq m of porcelain tiles along with pool tiles, clinkers, decorations and accessories.
In addition to ceramic tiles, Kaleseramik has a joint venture in sanitary ware production with the Spanish company, Roca. Its sanitary ware brand Kalevit is supported by a plant with the capacity of 750,000 pieces per year.
The company claims that it produces approximately 400 new products every year while at the same time regularly producing more than 3,500 kinds of ceramic wall and floor tiles per year.
“Constant modernisation of the existing lines and opening new plants with state-of-the-art technologies support such continuous innovations each year,” he adds.
