The USA partner to the doyen name of Turkish steel

Kerim Dervişoğlu is one of the first managers that comes to mind when the iron and steel industry is mentioned in Turkey. Dervişoğlu, who has held many positions including the general manager for many years at Erdemir, the flagship of the Turkish iron and steel industry, has almost half a century of experience in the industry. Working at Erdemir for 25 years and serving as Kibar Holding Investments Group President and Member of the Board of Directors in 2006, Dervişoğlu's first headache in the private sector was the family company 3-S Mühendislik Müşavirlik Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş.

Dervişoğlu, who founded 3-S Engineering in 1993, served as the representative of European companies producing auxiliary equipment such as slitting knives, rollers, brushes and air nozzles used in production in the iron and steel industry with this company. 3-S Mühendislik, which was the Turkey representative of a US company called Quaker Houghton operating in the industrial oil field in 2003, turned to the industrial oil field in 2006.

Established a factory in Düzce and Uganda

3-S, directed by Dervişoğlu, started production with the facility he established in the Organze Industrial Zone in Düzce in 2009. Diversifying its production with Africa, the company increased its activities in mineral oil production in this country as well. Dervişoğlu, whose name is associated with the iron and steel industry, decided to sell some of the assets of this company to the USA company, of which he is the distributor. Quaker Houghton of the USA made this purchase through a company called Houghton Kimya Sanayi, which is a unit of Turkey.

Founded in 1918, operating in 21 countries

Quaker Houghton, the world's largest company in this field, dates back to 1918, producing process fluids for use in steel, aluminum, metalworking, automotive, mining, aerospace, tubing and tubing, box making, and other industrial processes. The shares of the company, which operates in 21 countries and 35 locations around the world, are traded on the US stock exchanges.
