The plant is located 150 km. from east of Istanbul, in 80 minutes driving distance. There is a good quality highway between the Headquarters and the Plant.

In general, the plant works one-shift per day. Bottlenecks are eliminated with overtime work and department level increases to three-shift arrangements.

These figures cover only structures and exclude other items such as roofing, siding, etc.
