At AYDINLAR DISLI & MAKINA and AYMAK CELIK, we view sustainability as the integrated management of environmental responsibility, economic viability, and social development.
We carry out our industrial gear, heavy-duty gearbox, special-purpose machinery, rolling mill equipment, and turnkey plant projects with the objectives of using resources efficiently, extending product service life, reducing energy consumption, and improving safe working conditions.
Our sustainability approach is not limited to our manufacturing operations. We aim to apply it throughout engineering, design, material selection, manufacturing, assembly, commissioning, maintenance, overhaul, and after-sales support processes.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND RENEWABLE ENERGY
We regard the efficient management of energy used at our manufacturing facility and the increased use of renewable energy sources as key objectives.
Accordingly, we aim to:
- Monitor energy consumption throughout our manufacturing processes.
- Identify processes with high energy consumption.
- Increase the use of energy-efficient machinery, equipment, and lighting systems.
- Develop working methods that reduce unnecessary energy consumption.
- Use energy efficiency as a key evaluation criterion for new investments.
Our solar power plant investment, completed in 2023, represents an important step toward increasing the use of renewable energy and improving the energy efficiency of our manufacturing facility.
LONG-SERVICE-LIFE AND ENERGY-EFFICIENT PRODUCT DESIGN
We believe that sustainability begins at the product design stage. Therefore, when designing machinery, equipment, gears, and gearboxes, we jointly evaluate actual operating conditions, duty loads, material properties, maintenance requirements, and expected service life.
Through accurate engineering calculations, appropriate material selection, precision manufacturing, and systematic quality-control practices, we aim to develop reliable and long-lasting products.
We consider factors such as reducing energy losses, ensuring efficient power transmission, providing appropriate lubrication, optimising gear backlash, and facilitating maintenance throughout the entire product lifecycle.
MAINTENANCE, OVERHAUL, AND MODERNISATION
We regard extending the economic service life of existing machinery and plants as an essential component of sustainable production.
Through gearbox maintenance and overhaul, spare-part manufacturing, reverse engineering, plant modernisation, and capacity-upgrade services, we support the controlled repair and improvement of serviceable equipment instead of its complete replacement.
Through this approach, we aim to:
- Increase the reusability of existing equipment.
- Reduce unnecessary demand for new materials and equipment.
- Help prevent unplanned downtime.
- Improve machinery and plant efficiency.
- Extend the service life of production systems.
EFFICIENT USE OF RAW MATERIALS AND NATURAL RESOURCES
We attach importance to the controlled use of steel, alloyed materials, oils, water, and other resources utilised in our manufacturing operations.
We aim to reduce losses during material selection, cutting planning, machining, and manufacturing while achieving the required technical performance through more efficient resource utilisation.
Through accurate dimensioning, appropriate raw-material selection, and effective process control, we develop practices intended to minimise material losses during production planning and manufacturing.
WASTE MANAGEMENT AND RECYCLING
We support the reduction of waste at its source and the recovery of recyclable materials for reintroduction into the production cycle.
Within this framework, we consider the following practices essential requirements of sustainable production:
- Separating metal chips, swarf, and scrap materials according to type.
- Managing used oils and chemical waste under controlled conditions.
- Supporting the recycling of packaging waste.
- Reducing the effects of waste on the environment and human health.
- Maintaining orderly, clean, and safe manufacturing areas.
PROTECTION OF WATER AND ENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCES
We aim to monitor water consumption, prevent unnecessary use, and improve resource efficiency throughout our manufacturing processes.
We adopt measures designed to prevent oils, chemicals, and production waste from being released uncontrollably into soil, water, or the working environment. We also regularly assess environmental risks and implement appropriate preventive measures.
SAFE AND HEALTHY WORKING ENVIRONMENT
The health and safety of our employees are fundamental components of our sustainable manufacturing approach.
By identifying hazards, reducing risks, implementing safe working methods, and regularly informing and training our employees, we aim to prevent occupational accidents and work-related illnesses.
We support the technical development of our employees and regard the transfer of knowledge, experience, and manufacturing culture to future generations as an essential element of corporate sustainability.
SUSTAINABLE SUPPLY CHAIN
We consider quality, reliability, delivery performance, environmental responsibility, and ethical business practices when selecting suppliers.
We support the development of long-term partnerships with local suppliers that meet our technical competency and quality requirements. We also encourage the efficient use of resources in procurement processes and the reduction of logistics-related environmental impacts.
ECONOMIC AND CORPORATE SUSTAINABILITY
We believe that sustainable growth is achieved through sound investment, qualified human resources, technical expertise, efficient production, and customer confidence.
Rather than focusing solely on short-term results, we evaluate our investments in terms of long-term manufacturing capacity, technological advancement, quality, and operational efficiency.
We regard establishing long-term customer partnerships, providing after-sales technical support, and remaining accessible throughout the service life of our products as fundamental elements of our corporate sustainability.
CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT AND MEASURABLE TARGETS
To improve our sustainability performance, we aim to monitor data related to energy and resource consumption, waste generation, occupational health and safety, manufacturing efficiency, and product quality.
We are committed to evaluating the results obtained, identifying areas for improvement, establishing achievable and measurable targets, and regularly reviewing our sustainability activities.
At AYDINLAR DISLI & MAKINA and AYMAK CELIK, we continue to develop our engineering capabilities while fulfilling our responsibilities toward the environment, our employees, our customers, and future generations.
