History
KALKANCI was established in 1981 in the Maltepe district of Istanbul by the late Hüseyin Paçacı as a mould manufacturing enterprise, and it expanded into the casting industry by 1987. Faced with the increasing product demand, our company has been relocated to the Pendik factory in 1993 and then to our current Integrated Facility in Tuzla in 2006. Our Tuzla facility, from which KALKANCI operates today, has state of the art infrastructure which can handle the entire value chain for the Metal Injection industry.
