Turkey: Batıçim Çimento, part of Bati Anadolu Group, is considering selling up to a 75% stake in its subsidiary Batısöke Çimento. A source quoted by Reuters says that financial services group Unlu&Co has been hired to handle the sale. A document seen by Reuters indicates that due diligence for any potential offers is scheduled to be completed by September 2019. Batisöke Çimento operates one integrated and one grinding plant in Turkey.

In 2018 Turkish conglomerate Sabancı Group mandated Unlu&Co to sell cement producers Kayseri Çimento, Nigde Çimento and Ladik Çimento.

Turkey: Switzerland’s ABB says that Batısöke Çimento is one of the first companies in the world to install its ABB Ability MNS Digital product, a scalable, modular low-voltage (LV) smart switchgear solution to optimise operations at its cement plant near Aydin.

MNS Digital incorporates ‘intelligent’ devices with a data interface to enable remote operation, monitoring and condition-based maintenance. It gives the operator access to real-time data. MNS Digital can connect to the ABB Ability cloud platform, a local SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) or ECMS (electrical control and monitoring system), to extended Automation System 800xA or other types of distributed process control systems (DCSs). ABB is also supplying a medium-voltage switchgear product, UniGear Digital, to the plant.
