The 18th edition of the TÜRKÇIMENTO International Technical Seminar & Exhibition was held in Antalya.
TÜRKÇIMENTO Chairperson Adil Sani Konukoglu stated, “The cement industry is not merely a field of production; it is a strategic force in Türkiye’s economic, environmental and social transformation.”
Organised annually by TÜRKÇIMENTO, the International Technical Seminar & Exhibition has once again kicked off in Antalya. This year’s event, held for the 18th time, brought together numerous cement brands and professionals from Türkiye and around the world under the theme “Green Cement in the New Century: Græcement.”
The seminar addressed current developments and future-shaping solutions across areas such as green and digital transformation, innovation, next-generation cements, and sustainable production. The event was a resounding success, attracting more than 600 participants and over 150 companies.
During the opening session, which focused on “Green and Digital Transformation, Innovation, Sustainable Production, and Next-Generation Cements,” TÜRKÇIMENTO Chairperson Adil Sani Konukoglu remarked:
“Today, we are opening a new chapter that will shape the future of our industry. The cement sector is not just a field of production; it is a strategic force in Türkiye’s economic, environmental, and societal transformation.”
Konukoglu highlighted that despite global challenges, the Turkish cement industry continues to grow, produce, and remain one of the world’s strongest players. He added:
“Green transformation is no longer a choice – it is the core strategy of our sector. The Turkish cement industry does not postpone sustainability goals but turns them into reality. We manage this transformation through three pillars: green, digital, and human-centric. This triple transformation is now not just a target but the gateway to our future. Every year, we consume less fossil fuel and more recovered energy. Each step strengthens Türkiye’s sustainable future – from carbon reduction to a circular economy.”
The opening session also featured speeches by Dr Wang Yutao, Secretary General of the China Cement Association, and Henning Sasse, President of the Azerbaijan Cement Producers Association.
