Locally produced metalworking fluids support Turkish manufacturers

06 December 2019

Due to growing demand for Master Fluid Solutions' coolants in Turkey’s burgeoning aerospace and defence sector and the increasing popularity of its fluids in automotive and white goods production, the company has decided to manufacture key products locally.

In partnership with its longstanding Turkish representative, PETEN Endustriyel Urunler Pazarlama San. Tic., Master Fluid Solutions has established a production plant in Tuzla, just outside Istanbul. One of its key products is TRIM MicroSol 590XT, a semi-synthetic micro-emulsion that has been approved by Boeing for use in multiple application areas.

Specifically developed to meet the needs of aerospace manufacturers and subcontractors serving this sector, Master Fluid Solutions says TRIM MicroSol 590XT improves on the performance of previous fluid generations with unmatched lubricity and sump life, for substantial time and material savings.

Hasan Özgönül, the managing director of PETEN and his 20-strong team, have also developed a growing market for TRIM MicroSol 515, a metalworking fluid that has inherited all the characteristics of TRIM MicroSol 585XT without the premium aerospace performance. This product and the long-established TRIM E715, a highly stable and universal soluble oil, are now widely used in the production of automotive components and domestic appliances in Turkey.

“Manufacturing our products in Turkey made sound commercial sense,” explains Peter Blenkinsop, Master Fluid Solutions' director of sales - Europe. “Primarily we wanted to reduce lead time for our Turkish customers and eliminate the danger of importation delays. So, having established the availability of good quality raw materials, local manufacture was clearly the way to go and we haven’t looked back. Business is going from strength to strength.”
