History

In the year 1991, predecessor ELIN ELMAK established a permanent office in Ankara to gain better access to the Turkish market and to improve the service to its customers. The company has a long history in the country with first equipment deliveries for HPP Econa in 1927. In January 2009, the company ELIN ELMAK became a fully consolidated company of ANDRITZ Group under the new registered name “ANDRITZ HYDRO Ltd.Şti”. Nowadays, ANDRITZ HYDRO Turkey has about 250 experienced and competent employees at the head office in Izmir and the project sites throughout the country.

Beginning of 2008, the first localization concepts were developed and implemented mainly based on the local manufacturing of embedded parts such as draft tubes and spiral cases for Compact Hydro and Large Hydro projects. In 2008 ANDRITZ HYDRO Turkey was awarded the first Large Hydro project in the private sector, which is called HPP Kandil Cascade. This was followed by other projects such as HPP Alkumru, HPP Boyabat, HPP Tatar/ Pembelik, HPP Çetin, HPP Ayvalı, HPP Ilısu, and HPP Kargı.
