The company's core product portfolio includes tool steels, consisting of cold work tool steels, hot work tool steels, plastic mold steels, and high-speed steels; carbon and engineering alloy steels, including case-hardening steels, structural steels, and heat-treatable steels; and specialized industrial steel products, including stainless steels, heavy plates, steel profiles, and shipbuilding plates. Yukselen Celik operates modern steel service center facilities offering value-added processing and supply chain services, including precision band sawing and multi-axis cutting; block sizing, dimensioning, and pre-machining preparation; quality inspection and ultrasonic testing; customized inventory warehousing and just-in-time delivery; and technical metallurgical consulting. The company maintains long-term exclusive and preferred distribution partnerships with major international specialty steel producers, such as Dneprospetsstal (DSS), Poldi Hütte, Energietechnik Essen, and Toolgo. In recent developments, Yukselen Celik has accelerated its international expansion by establishing wholly owned overseas subsidiaries, including Rising Steel Inc. in Chicago, United States, and Rising Stahl GmbH in Düsseldorf, Germany, to build localized sales, warehousing, and export operations across North America and the European Union. In addition, the company expanded its domestic operations through significant capital investments in its primary steel service center in Dilovası, Turkey, raising total annual steel processing, storage, and handling capacity toward 200,000 metric tons to support expanded domestic demand and growing international export activities.
