EWM opens liaison office in Istanbul
EWM, Germany’s largest welding
machine manufacturer and a leader in
arc welding technology, is expanding
its international presence with a new
location in Turkey.
EWM AG Türkiye Irtibat Bürosu
is centrally situated in Istanbul in an
industrial park with excellent transport
connections and is near both the airport
and the harbour district. As a result, it is
in a useful position for workshops and
industrial enterprises alike.
Mehmet Yildiz, export manager at
EWM, said: “Growth in production
and, with it, the increasing demand for
innovative welding technology in Turkey
display exciting potential. The country
is also highly attractive in terms of its
position as a geographical gateway
between East and West.”
In the newly founded liaison office
in Istanbul EWM is appealing to the
metalworking industry with a specialist
market concept, which has already been
tried and tested in Germany. Mr Yildiz
said: “At our showroom customers can
walk through the display and have direct
access to the products on the shelves.”
Each visitor can benefit from expert
advice and receive demonstrations of all
the machines.
“Four employees, including field service
workers, are at our customers’ disposal.
In addition, the new representative office
includes a technical training centre.
Besides consulting and training, EWM
also aims to establish itself as a port of
call for all welding-related queries. The
liaison office will issue regular invitations
to information events as a result.”
In addition to the complete range of
welding products and systems – from
welding machines with all required
components, welding torches and
welding consumables to accessories
for manual and automated applications,
– EWM offers a wide portfolio of
services in Istanbul. This ranges from
familiarisation, commissioning, training
and the maintenance and repair of all
products to services including machine
calibration and the maintenance of
torches and hose packages.
However, EWM is also available
when it comes to solving more complex
tasks. The experts at the liaison office
in Turkey are on hand when it comes
to welding tests, sample welding or
metallurgical testing, for example. They
can also count on the support of their
colleagues at the EWM technology
centre in the German headquarters
in Mündersbach at all times. Mr Yildiz
said: “In this respect, we offer both our
direct customers and trade partners
broad expertise.”
He added: “We achieve this
consistently at our new location in
Istanbul with the specialist market
concept and a comprehensive service
portfolio.” The aim is to become the
leading contact partner in the industry,
be it for SMEs in the metal construction
sector or industrial enterprises from
Greater Istanbul and across Turkey as
a whole.

New Canada facility for Addition Manufacturing
TUBE bending and end-forming
technology specialist Addition
Manufacturing Technologies has
expanded, with a new, larger facility
in Brantford, Ontario, Canada. With a
total of 22,500ft2, the new location is
nearly double the size of the company’s
previous Canada location. The
additional space will facilitate growth
in manufacturing, engineering and
research and development.
In addition to increasing square
footage, the company has expanded
its manufacturing capabilities with the
purchase of a large-capacity boring
mill, which will be used for production
of larger machine components for both
Addition customers and for Addition’s
other North American locations.
“The new facility and equipment
allows for the production of larger muffler
projects than in the past and significantly
increases in-house manufacturing,” said
Doug DeVouge, general manager of
Addition Canada. “With the expansion
into this new state-of-the-art building,
Addition has been able to increase
production capacity and efficiency of
our silencer making product line, and
recently landed orders from various
companies worldwide for which we
previously may not have had capacity.”
Addition also has manufacturing
facilities in the USA, Canada, Mexico,
UK, France and China. The company’s
products serve the automotive,
aerospace, furniture and ship building
market segments.
