Castellanza, April 14, 2026 – Pomini Tenova, a Tenova brand and a global leader in roll shop equipment and services, is pleased to announce a new contract with Gazi Metal, Türkiye’s historic steel producer and the country’s fifth-largest cold rolling manufacturer. The agreement covers the supply of a foundation-free work roll grinding machine which will expand the roll shop capacity at Gazi Metal’s Karasu Sakarya facility.
The newly ordered Pomini Tenova work roll grinder is a technologically advanced machine designed for maximum precision. Its foundation-free design offers Gazi Metal significant advantages, including:
- Installation flexibility: simplified integration into existing facility layouts.
- Reduced civil work: lower costs and shorter timelines for site preparation.
- Enhanced throughput: specifically configured to increase the overall production capacity of the roll shop.
The delivery of the new machine is scheduled for early 2027, with commissioning to follow shortly thereafter.
During his visit to the Pomini workshop in December 2025 for the contract signing, Mustafa Gazioğlu, CEO Gazi Metal, stated: “This project further strengthens a long-standing and successful partnership. When Gazi Metal first established its cold rolling facilities, Pomini Tenova was selected as the Roll Shop partner of choice. Our consistent satisfaction over the years with the performance of the Pomini Combi grinder and the integrated Mill Communication System, ensuring seamless data exchange between the roll shop and the mill, has been a key factor behind our decision to expand our collaboration”.
During the visit, Gazioğlu was also introduced to the latest PDSA (Pomini Digital Surface Analysis) technology. Commenting on the innovation, he added, “The introduction of PDSA is particularly impressive. This solution leverages artificial intelligence to detect surface imperfections that were previously identifiable only by the most experienced operators. We are seriously evaluating its implementation to ensure that Gazi Metal remains at the forefront of quality control.”
“Our continued collaboration with Gazi Metal is a testament to both the reliability of our technology and the strength of our relationship with the Turkish steel industry,” said Petar Rokić, Sales Area Manager at Pomini Tenova. “When a long-standing partner chooses to further expand its capacity with us, it represents the highest form of validation for our engineering and innovation.”
