Toprakçeken said, “HS2 is one of the important projects of England. We can even say that it is the biggest ongoing project in Europe. And we are proud to take part in this project as the only Turkish company. We are working on the London-Birmingham line, which is the first leg of the project consisting of 2 stages. We are currently producing for the 8-kilometer tunnels running under London, and we will continue to export the materials needed for the Birmingham route. Negotiations continue for the second phase. Apart from the HS2, our production continues for projects in Germany, Austria, Netherlands, Sweden, France, Spain, Malta, Israel, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Tanzania, Sudan and Australia. We will also continue to sign new collaborations in the coming months. In this way, our export figures will also increase.
