Since the year 2016, when I’ve decided to invest for creating TRISTAR STEEL my focus has always been and will be, even in the coming years, the total customer satisfaction along with innovative products focused on the MOTION segment. I have decided to introduce the MOTION category because with TRISTAR Steel my focus is on components whose ultimate function is to generate movement. We produce only small diameters of hard chrome plated bars and linear shafts which are parts of final products like shock absorbers in the automotive industry, gas cylinders, actuators and pneumatic cylinders and linear shafts for linear motion systems. All of which are mechanical parts that generate motion.

Working in this industry for 40 years I realized that the global market had a demand for high-quality small-size components which was not being met by supply. In fact, these kinds of components are mainly produced by small and medium-sized companies which can be defined as generalist, since they produce a wide range of products other than precision components. This means that they are not strictly focused on small-diameter components and that their manufacturing machinery is not specific for this type of product. With TRISTAR Steel, however, I have decided to considerably invest in advanced automated technology to produce high quality and accurate chrome plated bars and linear shafts for MOTION.

In the first quarter of the Year-2023 we are starting a brand new plant in Cayirova-Kocaeli, Turkey with the most automated Continious Chrome Plating Line enabling us to produce sizes from 25,00 mm up to 130,00 mm in all steel grades like: C35E, C45E, Cf53, 20MnV6, 38MnVS6 and 42CrMo4QT all on requested Induction Hardened and Chrome Plated. Furthermore, Tubes outer Chrome Plated will be produced with a total capacity of about 30,000 Tons per Year of highest quality products.

Our main driver is the “passion” with which we took every decision, built up every relationship with our customers and suppliers, with our employees and the community around us. We try hard to keep competitiveness high because that’s the key to succeed in the global market where we’re operating. Being competitive is thus the only way to guarantee development and social well-being, and it has a clear meaning to us: “never be satisfied, as you can always do better”. Values such as reliability, accountability, innovation, respect and appreciation of people, quality and safety and respect of the environment are driving our team in TRISTAR STEEL.
