Kayseri Sugar Launches Strategic Limestone Quarry in Nevşehir

Kayseri Sugar has bolstered raw material security by opening a new limestone quarry in Turkish town of Türkeli, Nevşehir.

Strategic Location and Operational Highlights

The inauguration, attended by Mayor Mustafa Demir, the Kalaba Gendarmerie Commander, and Chairman Hüseyin Akay of the Kayseri Pancar Farmers Cooperative, highlighted Kayseri Sugar's aim to source limestone locally. The new facility employs modern controlled blasting techniques and is positioned as a cornerstone of the company's long‑term raw material strategy.

Boost to the Regional Economy

The investment goes beyond meeting the company's own needs; it injects momentum into the Nevşehir economy. Supplying limestone for local industry, infrastructure, and super‑structure projects creates direct jobs and stimulates ancillary sectors.

Long‑Term Production Outlook for the Company

Kayseri Sugar executives describe the project as a critical step to reduce production costs and mitigate supply‑chain risks. Secure, sustainable limestone supply promises to enhance energy efficiency within the sugar manufacturing process.

■TL 50 million investment amount

■200 new jobs created

■Limestone supply for local infrastructure projects

■5% potential reduction in production costs

This move aligns with Turkey’s broader rural industrialisation agenda. By scaling up regional raw‑material output, the company can lower input costs and curb import dependence. In the short term, the project should lift employment and strengthen local supply chains; over the longer horizon, it is likely to reinforce Kayseri Sugar’s competitive edge and support price stability.
