In today’s globalised world, becoming a strong industrial player requires more than just production capacity – it demands strategic foresight and sustainable investments. As Turkey’s leading manufacturer of fine and superfine oxygen-free (OF) copper wire, Mega Metal has taken a concrete step to demonstrate this vision by launching its first production facility in the United States.
Located in Fairfield County, South Carolina, the new facility represents Mega Metal’s largest international investment to date, with a total value of $34 million. Covering 8,500 square metres of indoor area, the facility will produce high-quality copper wire with an annual capacity of 55 million pounds, serving key sectors such as automotive, electronics, renewable energy, defense, aerospace and medical. The first phase of production is set to go live in January 2026 with the second phase planned to reach full capacity by 2028.
Cüneyt Turgut, Chairman of the Board of Mega Metal, summarises the vision behind this investment with the following words:
“This step is not only about production; it also reflects our strategy of being close to our customers, ensuring fast delivery, providing on-site services and establishing direct contact with the market. It is a sign of our long-term confidence in the North American market and our commitment to sustainable growth.”
The geographical location of the new facility is also noteworthy: its proximity to major cities like Charlotte and Columbia, as well as its access to the Port of Charleston, offers significant logistical advantages, enabling Mega Metal to deliver more agile and efficient service to its customers.
With over 700 employees, exports to more than 30 countries and a high-tech production infrastructure, Mega Metal is one of the global representatives of Turkish industry. This U.S. investment elevates the company’s “local to global” strategy to the next level. The facility’s design prioritises energy efficiency, environmental sustainability and advanced engineering solutions, ensuring full alignment with Mega Metal’s ESG goals.
Moreover, the new facility is expected to create 135 jobs, contributing not only to Mega Metal’s growth but also to the economic development of the South Carolina region.
This strategic move by Mega Metal reflects an industrial vision focused on competitiveness, quality and sustainability – especially during a period when global supply chains are being reshaped and localisation is gaining importance. Advancing confidently on its path to becoming the global face of Turkish industry, Mega Metal aims not only to be a manufacturer but also a solution partner that adds value to the markets it operates in.
