In October, the delegation of the top managers of the largest jewellery holding of Turkey, whose products are supplied for various fields of activity, such as banks, financial institutions, stock exchanges, the jewellery industry, and others, visited the site of Ekaterinburg Non-Ferrous Metals Processing Plant JSC. The holding also includes a refining factory.

Potential partners got acquainted with the main production facilities of EZOCM JSC: the refining shop, the shop for the production of blanks and finished products, the plasma smelting shop, etc. The guests were also shown the capabilities of the assay laboratory and the rest of the Central Analytical Laboratory. During the negotiations, opportunities for further cooperation were discussed.

“It is not the first time when we are hosting representatives of large foreign businesses. Such large companies are extremely cautious about the selection of suppliers, their leaders are eager to personally verify the reliability of future partners. They need to understand how the supplier’s technologies are developed, how the supplier controls the quality of its products, how the logistics are built. We welcome this approach and we are always ready to demonstrate all of our capabilities and benefits. The meeting discussed prospects for cooperation regarding the supply of gold and silver anodes and bars. Delivery of a trial batch of gold anodes of this company will take place in the near future, and then we plan to increase the volume of supplied precious metals. Special attention was paid to the supply of standard samples of gold and silver produced by EZOCM. The management of the holding is interested in a reliable supplier with a large range of reference materials produced,” said Aleksei Shchukin, Head of Precious Metals Management Department at EZOCM JSC. “Negotiations with the management of the holding will be continued.”

Let’s note that Turkey has a high level of consumption of precious metals, especially gold. The average gold production in Turkey is 20-25 tons per year. Gold imports for 2017 amounted to 209 tons. EZOCM JSC has been consistently developing relations with Turkey for several years; the first delivery of the plant’s products to Turkey (catalyst systems for the manufacturer of mineral fertilizers) took place in 2015. Further development of the Turkish market is designed in the development strategy of the plant.
