R&D

For CİHAN GRUP, Research and Development (R&D) is not only about meeting current market demands; it is about building the future of the construction, mining, and industrial sectors on sustainable, technological, and innovative foundations. By continuously advancing our service approach from foundation to roof, we support our industrial activities with scientific research and position R&D at the very center of our corporate culture.
University–Industry Collaboration and Support for Science The most important pillar of our R&D vision is the strong and organic ties we establish with the academic world. Our fundamental approach in this process is to fully respect the deep-rooted knowledge of science and our universities, and to support the value they produce as a strong industry-focused financial partner without overshadowing academic work. Our aim is to be a steadfast partner of scientific progress by enabling theoretical knowledge to transform into practical benefit.
Development of 3D Printable Green Concrete for Sustainable Urban Furniture Production (TÜBİTAK 1505) Under the leadership of CİHAN BETON, the driving force of innovation, we undertake projects that break new ground in the construction industry. Our future vision is to contribute permanently to urban living quality by developing environmentally friendly, durable, and multifunctional materials fully aligned with the goals of the Green Deal.

In line with this vision, we are proud to act as the main financial supporter of the 3D Printable Green Concrete Project conducted by the esteemed scientists of Bursa Uludağ University. Through the industrial and infrastructural support we provide to this valuable academic project, which aims to go beyond the limits of traditional concrete production methods, our key objectives are:
• Innovation and Design Freedom: Producing urban furniture that is aesthetic, compatible with urban fabric, and highly functional by utilizing the dynamics of 3D printing technology.

• Sustainability and Green Transformation: Minimizing carbon emissions (footprint) by using innovative and eco-friendly raw materials in production processes; leaving behind an environmentally responsible industrial model.

• Maximum Efficiency: Eliminating mold requirements and costs in traditional methods, increasing design freedom, and bringing unprecedented speed to production processes.
Innovation in Integrated Production: Aggregate and Advanced Alloy Technologies Our R&D ecosystem within the group is not limited to a single field; it feeds the technical capacities of all our companies. In our CİHANTAŞ and ADERANS DEMİRTAŞ facilities, we continuously test the structural properties of aggregates, which are the most critical component of durable concrete designs; and within CHN ALÜMİNYUM, we apply the latest quality standards in the supply of advanced aluminum alloys requiring high durability for the needs of the industry.

As the CİHAN GRUP family, we continue to build the safe, aesthetic, and green projects of the future with today’s scientific research.
