Driving Responsible Mining: Sofi Filtration at Minex Türkiye

We recently participated the Minex Trade Show in Izmir, Türkiye, one of the leading regional gatherings for the mining industry. In addition to showcasing our advanced filtration solutions, Prima and Alchemist, our CEO, Riina Salmimies was invited to speak at the IMMAT Conference, highlighting the crucial role of advanced water technologies in mining.

The event provided an excellent platform for building new connections with Turkish academia, and we were impressed by the research excellence and ambition in water technologies and sustainability.

"Türkiye is one of Europe’s most important mineral producers, and we see great opportunities for collaboration here," said Riina Salmimies, CEO of SOFI Filtration. "Our solutions can make a real difference by addressing water scarcity while also helping mining companies increase recovery of their operating mines.The mining community here demonstrates genuine openness to science and innovation, which we see as essential for driving future progress."

The event was sold out and all key industrial players were present. We had several promising customer meetings during the event. "We were encouraged by the strong interest from both industry and academia," Riina Salmimies added. "We hope to move fast and build partnerships that deliver both economic and environmental benefits. "

Big thanks to our local partner Ecoline Group, whose organized efforts made a successful event possible within a very short time. Turkish people are dynamic and effective in action – which obviously suits us very well.

We are excited to continue strengthening our presence in Türkiye and to contribute to the future of responsible mining.
