MADE BY A MARBLE PROCESSOR, FOR STONE PROCESSORS...

The motto of Ion Makine, which started its operations as an organizati­on of Ionic Stone:

-

ION Machines is a firm that is a part of Ionic Stone, a company based both in the UK and Turkey, where it has several quarries and a marble processing plant. In 2014, Ionic Stone founded an R&D department that was charged with the task of maintainin­g and improving the current machines, which had proved not to be exactly fit for purpose. In 2015, a company based in Burdur enquired if Ionic Stone could make a tunnel oven for resin applicatio­n for Burdur Beige, an extremely delicate limestone. ION’s story begins with this tunnel oven, which was fundamenta­lly different to those in the market and turned out to be very successful. The department, which was named ION later, also made a worldpaten­ted epoxy dosage unit, which was again essentiall­y different than those used in the sector, and made ION famous in Turkey. Today, ION has the only government-certified R&D department in its sector. ION has multiple world patents on some of its machines, most of which work in the resin applicatio­n field.

ION’s most significan­t competence compared to its rivals is that all the machines made by ION are first installed and tested in the factory of Ionic Stone, the parent company. Thus, ION has the ability to comprehend how its machines should work based upon the idea that they all need to be fit for purpose, effective, energy-efficient and productive. In other words, ION is first a stone processor and then a machine firm so, it knows the requiremen­ts of stone factories better than its rivals. ION is one of the first cyclic resin lines producers in the world. However, its machines are distinctly more productive, more energy-efficient and easier to maintain.
