Kardemir, Turkey's century-old integrated steel producer based in Karabük, secures a new railway wheel export contract to supply Bulgaria. The deal marks a significant step in the company's push into high-value, precision-engineered steel components for European rail networks. Bulgaria's ongoing railway modernisation programme, backed by European Union funds, creates sustained demand for certified rolling stock parts. Kardemir's success signals Turkey's growing competitiveness in specialised European industrial supply chains.
