Our flagship products are fully CE certified and widely adopted across Turkish railway and industrial projects, delivering unmatched quality and reliability.
All RMTS exothermic welding materials carry CE certification, ensuring full compliance with European safety, health, and environmental directives. For the Turkish market — where infrastructure standards increasingly align with EU norms — our CE-certified products provide procurement teams, project engineers, and railway authorities with the confidence to specify our solutions on critical projects. From TCDD mainline upgrades to Istanbul metro expansions and industrial crane rail installations, RMTS delivers certified quality at every joint.
Turkey's ambitious infrastructure expansion and EU-aligned railway modernisation create exceptional demand for high-performance, CE-certified exothermic welding materials.
Turkey's State Railways (TCDD) is investing billions of USD in new high-speed lines, conventional rail upgrades, and regional connectivity projects. Exothermic welding is the preferred method for creating continuous welded rail (CWR), reducing maintenance costs and improving ride comfort across thousands of kilometres of new track.
Istanbul — Europe's largest city — is rapidly expanding its metro network with multiple new lines under construction. Ankara, İzmir, Bursa, and other major cities are similarly investing in urban rail. The confined construction environments and tight delivery schedules of metro projects make thermit welding the ideal solution, and CE-certified materials are mandated by Turkish procurement regulations.
Turkey's booming manufacturing sector — including steel mills, automotive plants, and logistics hubs — relies on crane rail systems for material handling. The ports of İstanbul, İzmir, and Mersin handle massive cargo volumes, requiring robust crane rail joints maintained by exothermic welding. RMTS materials are engineered for the demanding load cycles and coastal environments of Turkish industrial facilities.
Beyond rail, exothermic welding is widely used in Turkey for electrical grounding and bonding in power transmission infrastructure, telecommunications networks, and renewable energy installations. The country's rapid solar and wind energy expansion is driving demand for reliable, corrosion-resistant ground connections — a key application of thermit welding technology.
As a member of the EU Customs Union, Turkey aligns its technical standards closely with European norms. CE certification is increasingly required in Turkish public procurement tenders, particularly for railway and infrastructure projects funded by the European Investment Bank (EIB) or EU pre-accession instruments. RMTS's CE-certified product range is perfectly positioned to meet these requirements.
The Turkish exothermic welding materials market is projected to grow at over 8% CAGR through 2030, driven by infrastructure investment, industrial expansion, and energy sector growth. International suppliers with CE certification, strong technical support, and competitive pricing — like RMTS — are well positioned to capture significant market share as Turkish buyers seek reliable global partners.
Turkey is standardising its high-speed rail infrastructure to European UIC norms, requiring thermit welding materials that meet EN 14730 specifications. This trend directly benefits CE-certified suppliers like RMTS, whose products are validated for use on high-speed rail with speeds exceeding 250 km/h. The Ankara–İzmir and Istanbul–Edirne HSR corridors are flagship projects driving this demand.
Turkish railway authorities and industrial clients are increasingly demanding full material traceability — from batch production through to field application. RMTS supports digital quality documentation, providing batch certificates, test reports, and compliance declarations that integrate with modern project management systems used by TCDD and major Turkish contractors.
Environmental regulations in Turkey are tightening, with increased scrutiny on waste generation from welding operations. RMTS's one-shot crucible system and precision-portioned thermite powder minimise waste and reduce the environmental footprint of welding operations — aligning with Turkey's sustainability commitments and green procurement policies.
The growth of Turkey's rail network has created demand for skilled thermit welders. RMTS addresses this through comprehensive on-site training programmes tailored to Turkish project conditions, helping contractors build internal welding competencies and achieve consistent, high-quality results across large-scale projects.
Turkish project managers increasingly prefer single-source suppliers who can provide complete welding kits — thermite powder, moulds, crucibles, clamps, and accessories — reducing procurement complexity and ensuring material compatibility. RMTS's comprehensive product range makes it an ideal integrated supplier for Turkish railway and industrial projects.
