ABOUT SUBOR

Service life of the pipes which are used in the infrastructure projects is very important for using the sources of countries efficiently. However; the steel and cement pipes that are used in infrastructures  are subjected to corrosion and unless proper installation and proper protection is done, the pipes can be out of service  very earliar before their service life. SUBOR has brought new and absolute solutions to corrosion and other problems with GRP(glass reinforced plastic) pipes. 

SUBOR provides a definite remedy for the corrosion problem with its Glass Reinforced Polyester (GRP) Pipes in Turkey, a rapidly developing country with large infrastructure projects. Conscious that the most valuable and strategic resource in the world today is water, SUBOR manufactures pipes of "information age" with Flowtite "Continuous Filament Winding Technology" at its production plants in Sakarya and Şanlıurfa.

 SUBOR manufactures pipes since 1997 at its modern production plant located in Sakarya / Karapürçek (Northwestern Turkey) established over an area of 74.000 m2, with a production capacity of 350.000 m GRP pipes per year. With the objective to serve the infrastructure projects in the whole country and especially in the GAP (Southeastern Anatolia Project) area better, SUBOR has established its second production plant in Şanlıurfa (Southeastern Turkey), with an open area of 200.000 m2.

SUBOR is producing GRP pipes in diameters between 300 mm. and 2400 mm., up to 32 atm. operating pressure.

SUBOR has the highest production capacity of GRP pipes with the facilities and production lines it has in its two plants.

Over 1400 km. GRP pipes we produce are used in over 200 projects of D.S.İ (State of Hydraulic Works), Iller bank , Municipalities, ISKI (Istanbul Sewage and Water Works), rural authorities, industrial plants,  private organisations in Turkey and abroad. The Bandirma Municipality Drinking Water Project had been carried out with ensuring foreign export loan by SUBOR  in order to purchase the GRP pipes. In scope of GAP (Southeastern Anatolian Project),  SUBOR  ensured  foreign export loan for 108 km. of GRP pipes that were used in Yaylak Irrigation Project.

In parallel to local market efforts, SUBOR also put emphasis on export markets and made considerable progress. From the establishment, SUBOR exported considerable GRP pipes and fittings to Egypt, Iraq, Syria, Greece, Bulgaria, Yemen, Jordan, Romania, Poland, Germany, Kazakhistan, Turkmenistan, Spain, Croatia, Norway, and Slovenia. We ensured successfull application and installation of GRP pipes with our technical asistance and field supervision.

SUBOR completed year 2003 with 13 million USD export sales, and 2004 exports goal is 15 million USD.

With increasing demands for GRP tanks, depots and pipes for industrial plants, SUBOR aimed at increasing quality on these markets with the pipe of information age..

SUBOR, the leading company in GRP pipe production, has ISO 9001 “quality management systems”, and ISO 14001 “ Environmental Management System”  certificates since 1999.

Due to the free supervision service we give, and the high quality GRP pipes we  produce; SUBOR has become a demanded trademark in the sector.
