Anadolu Isuzu takes integration in bus production further in line with its strong growth targets

Turkey's commercial vehicle brand Anadolu Isuzu continues to take new steps to strengthen its production infrastructure in line with its growth targets. In this context, Anadolu Isuzu recently took over the carcass production activities of FZK, one of the leading and experienced manufacturers of the automotive industry.

 

 

With the partial transfer agreement signed, the company takes over the machinery park of FZK for the production of metal sheets, semi-finished products and related by-products, which are one of the important basic components in automotive production and defined as carcass. The agreement also covers the transfer of FZK's expert staff in the field of carcass production, existing stocks and know-how in this field to Anadolu Isuzu.

 

 

Within the scope of the agreement, Anadolu Isuzu will manufacture the necessary carcasses and related by-products, under its own title in the forthcoming period, at FZK's production facilities in Gebze. FZK, which will transfer its carcass production operations to Anadolu Isuzu with the partial transfer process, will continue its current activities in other industries other than carcass production.

 

 

Anadolu Isuzu General Manager Tuğrul Arıkan has stated the following in his assessment on the subject: “As Anadolu Isuzu, this takeover agreement we signed in line with our vision of the future and growth strategies, is of great importance for the scale development of all our manufacturing operations. With this big step forward we have taken to realize the strong growth we aim for, especially in medium size coach and bus production, we have incorporated FZK's carcass production, expert workforce and knowledge in this field. This will create significant added value while providing us with the flexibility and independence we need in our ever-strengthening production operations. As Anadolu Isuzu, we will completely renew our product portfolio with new models that we will start to produce in the forthcoming period, including alternative fuel vehicles. With our facilities with smart factory infrastructure and our 'tailor-made manufacturing' model, we will further increase the quality of the vehicles we offer to our customers in both domestic and international markets, improve our capabilities in timely delivery and further increase customer satisfaction. As Anadolu Isuzu, we will continue our multifaceted contributions to the production capacity, exportation and economic development of our country, with the investments we have made in line with our goals that keeps raising constantly.”
