Eti Bakır A.Ş. is a leading Turkish integrated mining, metals, and fertilizer producer and a subsidiary of Cengiz Holding. It operates nine facilities in Türkiye and one gold production site in Kyrgyzstan, with headquarters in Üsküdar, Istanbul. The company is the only Turkish entity capable of full vertical integration from ore extraction to finished products in copper smelting and refining.
Core activities include copper mining and cathode production (annual capacity 70,000–90,000 tons, representing about 20% of the domestic market), along with cobalt, nickel, phosphate, and antimony recovery. It also produces fertilizers under the Eti Gübre brand using 100% domestic raw materials, with major output from the Mazıdağı integrated metal recovery and fertilizer complex in Mardin. Additional plants are located in Samsun, Küre (Kastamonu), Murgul and Cerattepe (Artvin), Siirt, Adıyaman, and Halıköy (İzmir).
Eti Bakır prioritizes sustainability, R&D at its Samsun center, and circular economy practices, including by-product recovery from pyrite and leach residues. Recent investments focus on zero-waste technologies, such as DRI smelting at Mazıdağı to convert residues into iron and slag products. The company supports Türkiye’s agricultural sector through fertilizer supply and contributes to the national economy via local production, employment, and exports of metals and chemicals.
