PMS Alüminyum San. Tic. A.Ş., a prominent aluminum extrusion company in Türkiye, has added a Nitrex nitriding system to enhance its production capabilities and meet the increasing demand for high-quality profiles across multiple industries, including automotive, construction, solar energy, defense, aerospace, and rail.

Driven by a strong focus on sustainability, technology, and innovation, PMS Alüminyum has solidified its position as one of the country’s most technologically advanced metal profile manufacturers, dedicated to raising the bar in manufacturing excellence. As part of its expansion strategy, PMS Alüminyum made the strategic decision to bring nitriding operations in-house. Previously outsourcing this process, the company recognized the advantages of streamlined logistics coordination, long-term cost savings, improved availability of ready-to-use dies, and faster turnaround times. Moreover, the growing number of dies to be treated made in-house processing a more viable and cost-effective solution.

The Nitrex pit-type furnace, model NX-1020, equipped with Nitreg® controlled nitriding and Nitreg®-C controlled nitrocarburizing technologies, provides PMS Alüminyum with advanced capabilities for processing H11 and H13 dies. Leveraging these cutting-edge technologies and customized recipes ensures superior performance and extended lifespan of the treated dies, ultimately resulting in high-quality extrusion products.

The installation of the Nitrex system took place in November 2022 as part of a comprehensive project to expand PMS Alüminyum’s manufacturing footprint. The company constructed a brand-new facility to house the turnkey system, extrusion press, and powder coating lines. This strategic investment enables the company to efficiently service dies from all presses and effectively meet the growing demand for its aluminum profiles.

Commenting on the partnership, Marcin Stoklosa, Project Manager at Nitrex, stated, “PMS Alüminyum sought a global partner with a local presence in Europe, and after thorough evaluation, they chose Nitrex as their trusted collaborator. Strong referrals, our extensive track record of successful installations in Türkiye, along with the exceptional system reliability and positive customer experience, solidified PMS Alüminyum’s confidence in our partnership.”

Utku Inan, Nitrex’s local representative, affirmed, “The collaboration between PMS Alüminyum and Nitrex marks a significant milestone in the pursuit of manufacturing excellence within the aluminum extrusion industry, placing them on par with the world’s leading companies. By incorporating the latest heat-treating technologies, PMS Alüminyum is positioned to deliver unrivaled quality and meet the evolving needs of their customers.”
