Turkish steel producer Koc Metalurji announced a temporary production shutdown at its steel mill in Osmaniye as part of planned maintenance and efficiency improvement works.
The shutdown is scheduled to last around 15 days, from January 26 to February 9, 2026. The company said the maintenance is aimed at enhancing operational efficiency and ensuring the continuity of production. Output is expected to resume as planned once the works are completed, with no material impact anticipated on operations or financial results.
Separately, Koc Metalurji said it will reorganize its production operations by moving from a three-shift system to a two-shift structure. As part of this adjustment, the company expects a workforce reduction of 10pct or more.
Koc Metalurji operates steel production facilities in Osmaniye and Payas. The Osmaniye plant has an annual crude steel capacity of 1.2 mln tons, while the Payas facility produces up to 550,000 tons of rebar per year.
