While combating the epidemic, our responsibilities on Occupational Health and Environmental Safety have increased, and urgent actions have been taken in our facility on hygiene measures, virus protection and ventilation. In the spring and summer months, our production intensity decreased by 30% due to the decrease in the jobs of Defense and other industries. In this period, we tried to make the maximum contribution to the fight against the epidemic by making surface coatings of respiratory devices produced by ASELSAN.
In November, we were able to obtain an Approved Supplier Certificate from the General Directorate of Military Factories of the Ministry of National Defense. We had to postpone the Canias production module due to a limited year of face-to-face training. At the end of the year, we were entitled to state support from the Kobigel-Kobi development support program from Kosgep for strengthening the technological infrastructure by integrating automation in production. “
Our Zinc-Nickel Line, which was established at the end of 2021, received approval from Nurol Makine in February 2022. With this process, a production increase of 15% was achieved. Work started with Baykar Makine in 2022. Until the end of the year, many processes were carried out with direct and sub-industries. It has become one of the companies we work with most frequently. We were able to increase our experience in Gold Plates by winning the 2nd tender from 3rd Air Maintenance. We gained support from EYDEP on production consultancy. We started R&D activities by taking 1 candidate engineer. In Canias ERP, we started to monitor the entry and exit invoice status of our parts over the system. Our AS 9100 audit has been successfully completed. We continue to provide more and more diverse services to our customers by renting a 1000 m2 building for our increasing capacity needs, on a total of 4000 m2.
Due to the capacity increase in December 2022, a 32 m2 wet painting line, an electrostatic powder painting facility and a Liquid penetrant line, one of the non-destructive testing (NDT) methods, were invested in our newly added 1000 m2 building. By agreeing with Level 3 consultants for penetrant inspection, Level 2 OJT training of 2 of our personnel was completed at TAI. In August, our first project on Advanced coatings from İvedik Technopark was found suitable for support. Our EST R&D Branch was opened in İvedik Teknopark F block in October. 2 of our staff started working on our new project. We received Aselsan approval for our Powder Coating and Zinc Nickel processes in November. We further strengthened our quality management system by passing Nadcap, AS9100 and TAI quality audits in December.
