Research and Development Center
Established on an area of 50,000 m2, with its expert staff of 1500 people and its production approach focused on Design, R&D and Innovation, it has become one of the leading companies in the ceramic industry in the Tabletop Presentation group in Turkey and in the world. Keramika R&D Center continues its R&D studies in two different areas, in order to develop technologies that will create transformative innovations in both the Tabletop Presentation Group and our industry. In the field of Tabletop Presentation Group, it carries out research and development studies on the parameters of the mechanical, chemical and physical properties of the raw materials used in production. The aim here is to develop materials with improved mechanical, chemical and physical properties that can replace existing products on the market.
R&D studies are ongoing in the field of digitalization and automation, which will create added value and strengthen our technological infrastructure. To these studies; The development of machinery and software that can make double-layer glazing possible and which can smoothly perform the process that causes great efficiency loss due to human-based errors, the development of a vertical digital printing machine, which will be a first in the world by enabling us to make customer-specific digital printing on curved surfaces in the desired production quantity, and the development of a vertical digital printing machine, which has no application or machine in our sector yet. The development of a ceramic additive manufacturing machine can be given as an example. In all our mentioned projects, value-added machine design, integration of digitalization elements, embedded and communication software are carried out by our competent personnel employed within our company's R&D center.
Our R&D Goals and Strategies
R&D and Innovation have become one of the indispensable elements of competition today. R&D; It is the whole of the studies carried out to improve the cultural and technological knowledge of the society. Today, one of the most important issues that contribute to the country's economy is having the equipment and knowledge known as "Know-How". The development of knowledge and methods that shape high technology in our country also depends on R&D studies. Countries whose industries are supported by effective R&D studies are at the top levels in the World Competitiveness Rankings. As Keramika, our goal is; Our R&D studies provide added value to our country's economy, transform the sector, and thus turn into products containing advanced technology that will increase our competitiveness in the international market.
Design Center
We have knowledge and experience from numerous production management processes in many product setups. We made designs and special collections throughout the entire process, from various tableware products to packaging designs until they reach the user. We speak the language of our customers and take them one step further in every project we work on.
Our goals
- Efforts to thin the products to increase their added value and in parallel to increase their strength,
- Taking part in national and international projects,
- Evaluating all projects within the scope of the design project,
- Improvement studies on the currently used mud recipe,
- New glaze studies that will make a difference in the market,
- Studies carried out to print decorations that cannot be printed in the current situation,
- Finding new production techniques or improving existing production techniques,
- Efforts to increase efficiency in practice by working to reduce raw material and material costs,
- To contribute to the brand image with the projects to be carried out, to increase the competitiveness of the company,
- To contribute to the country's economy.
