For centuries, flat solar panels have been the simplest as well as the most rudimentary manner used by Man to directly capture solar radiation. It was soon found to be an 29

attractive source of energy due to being economical, non-pollutant, rational and democratic.

The sophistication of the collector, which has taken place over the last decades, instead of solving the problem of its low yield, introduced components of greater fragility to the equipment:



 Protection glass; Absorption plates and/or transfer tubes in metal with high risk of corrosion;  Paint of doubtful durability;  Seals sensitive to degradation by solar radiation;

Travertine Bros. (TB) is still a young company which was established in the year of 2000 in Istanbul, originally aiming to service Mureks International Trade which was founded in 1994 as a ceramic and stone tile importing and trading company in USA (Tampa, Florida).

Initially, operations started by using logistic warehousing services and renting an office space in Tarko Logistics for a year. Later, total of 85,000 SQFT of all steel office and warehouse buildings were completed on mid 2001 on a land strategically 30

close to Kumport, one of the two main ports of Istanbul; at the time TB was organizing and inspecting the stone tile buys mainly for Mureks' orders. Tiles being purchased from a series of different suppliers were trying to be suited into orders of handful USA customers. The control issue over the products and the shipments was the main obstacle for smooth operation of the Mureks' business. A decision was made in 2001 once TB purchased a tile beveling line for an important project of its own; TB would become a manufacturer and a factory building was needed for the tile lines. 70,000 SQFT two storey steel building completed in 2002 and the first tile line was installed immediately the following year. Uncommonly, the tile line was processing in starting from strips that were cut and sent from Denizli, Travertine Works, a 50% partner company with mainly 3 block-cutters and a travertine quarry, as well as raw and finished products sent from other producers. A wood processing line equipped complete for TB's own crate production, a line for tumbled the stone production and a separate mosaic production line were added in 2003 and a revolutionary fully automatic tile line started operating in 2004. TB acquired its Classic Travertine and Vanilla quarries the same year and added 2 sets of earth moving equipments to quarry its own blocks. Same year a brand new and ready to operate factory in Denizli has been bought including a tile line and 2 blockcutters. By end of the year, TB has become number one exporter of natural stone in dollar volume and awarded by IMMIB. By 2005 TB has added another factory building in Istanbul with over 80,000 SQFT and two new halls of production ready for newly purchased 5 gang saws in Denizli factory. Also the total number of quarries owned has increased to 8 before end of the year. In addition to this, in 2005, the first tile line has been revised and improved for automation; a similar performance to the existing second line, an ISPM-15 heat treatment facility opened for wooden crates and finally TB earned its ISO 9001 certificate 2 years after very passionate work. TB employs over 400 personnel in 3 factories and 3 operational quarries. The tile producing capacity reaches up to 150 containers (1.1M SQFT) per month and block processing capacity is average 5,000 m3 / month. The new two- storey building will be the home of the new to the world tumbling and mosaics lines along with a group of CNC machines that will be operational by the beginning of 2006. Also a slab and paving lines are planned to be added in Denizli factory halls by spring 2006. More quarries will be planned to be acquired and operated and more sets of earth moving equipments and a new tile line already planned to be added in 2006.

After 12 years of serving the USA stone industry, Mureks has made a decision to close its operation by end of 2005 and join the management of TB; in that direction Mureks has sold its assets and diverted its customers to TB. Rejoined 3 partners of TB will be spending their quality time to reorganize TB to shorten the "service bridge" in many ways to over 100 customers in 30 countries spreading in six continents.
