Request was the biggest size package water tube steam boiler. We had the license, we had also a reference of same capacity in our home market in Sasa Sabanci company in Adana.
We have prepared our proposal file in English, sent it by courier to Goodyear headquarters, for evaluation. Polish companies also participated in the tender, but they did not have the design of package type watertube steam boiler to burn the package type fuel oil. They could not meet Asme boiler norms.
We promised to deliver the boiler free-on-truck (fot) basis in one-year.
Polish companies could not go delivery under 2 years.
Our price was cheaper. Our proposal was the best choice.
At the end of the tender we have stayed at around 1m US $ price.
We have won the steam boiler tender, and we would sell it to Poland.
We got our advance payment. Since we delivered the same size same type boiler earlier in Turkey before, detailed technical drawings were ready.
We made letterhead corrections on technical drawings, we got approval from Goodyear head office to proceed, we started manufacturing, we bought material in 3 months, we finished factory production in 8 months.
The steam boiler was ready for the factory (free on truck) on time.
Transportation logistics firm would take delivery, they would load truck, they would take to road to Poland Debrica plant, the steam boiler was very heavy.
there would be pilot cars in the front and rear, permission to pass toll highway road and Bosphorus bridge was necessary.
Speed 5 km per hour would not be exceeded, only daylight travel would be taken.
The transport company would get 50K US$ for this transportation.
All the permits, and the total time of transport was calculated about 3 months.
In the meantime, The Polish Debrica tire factory was ready for operation. They were waiting for the steam boiler for their tire production. Boiler was in our plant ready for transportation.
We got a new request from Goodyear headquarters in Akron. Could we make transportation by heavy duty cargo aircraft? We have never thought that option before for that big size, steam boiler 120 ton in weight in aircraft transportation.
We asked the shipping companies. They asked Steam boiler dimensions, weight, center of gravity. The answer came positive.
Yes, this large package type watertube steam boiler could be transported by Russian production Antonov-124 cargo transport aircraft.
We were only required to tilt the steam boiler 90 degrees so that it could get into the Antonov-124 plane. We checked if we could, yes it was possible.
The price of the plane transportation from Ankara to Debica was 250 thousand US$.
Goodyear approved the air transportation.
In our Ankara plant we turned the boiler 90 degrees, put it into a steel construction cage for transportation, took it to Ankara Esenboğa airport on a trailer.
Antonov-124 cargo plane came to the open space where the new terminal is now.
With two heavy-duty crane we brought the boiler on Antonov-124 onto the entry pallets. The plane's technicians got in the steam boiler into the aircraft on pallets.
That day, all our company personnel were at the airport in Esenboğa Antonov-124 in front of the heavy transport aircraft. We took family photos in front of the boiler and the aircraft. Then the plane door was closed. The plane took off in the air strip, then slowly accelerated, and disappeared.
Four hours later Antonov landed at an airport near the Debrica tire factory in Poland.
It was then moved to the factory with heavy transportation vehicles.
It was placed by the Turkish site erection assembly team which we sent earlier.
The transport business was priced independently from us, we did not earn money from the transport business, but we had the reference of a Turkish company that could sell steam boiler to Poland. Then we sold four similar steam boilers to Kazakhstan.
In 1999, Our US parent company had financial difficulties, and subjected to Chapter-10 procedures to overcome bankrupcy. Consultant company Deloitte advised them to sell all their overseas jv company shares to get cash to pay local debts. So US parent company sold their 50% shares to our local parent company for 1-m US$, and left.
Local parent company got board decision to get smaller. They changed the field of work, closed the factory, sold the land. We employees were asked to leave the company.
We built a utopian American company in Turkey, we were working like an American company, we had a US license to build steam boilers in accordance with Asme boiler norms. Our internal correspondence was English (and Turkish), we could produce steam boilers at all capacities for all kinds of fossil fuels.
We could serve in our local market as well as MiddleEast, Russia and Eastern Europe.
We sold steam boilers to Poland, Kazakhstan, Syria, Jordan and Pakistan.
It was like a dream, a fairy tale, came and passed.
