Turkey's rich coal reserves form a critical pillar in its energy infrastructure, and the underground coal mining sector remains a vital industry within the country. With more than 12 billion tons of lignite and hard coal reserves, Turkey is constantly investing in modernizing its mining equipment to ensure safety, productivity, and regulatory compliance. Underground coal mining support equipment — including hydraulic support trucks, longwall mining machines, piston guide rings, and other sealing solutions — are key to enhancing operational efficiency and worker safety in harsh subsurface environments.
The Turkish mining industry has witnessed steady adoption of advanced mechanized support systems, leveraging both domestic production and imports to meet growing demand. The government’s increasing focus on energy self-sufficiency and sustainability has accelerated investments in coal extraction technologies. Additionally, recent industrial policies encourage collaboration with innovative overseas suppliers specializing in hydraulic systems, sealing materials, and heavy-duty transporting vehicles. This creates significant export opportunities for experienced coal mining equipment manufacturers.
Established in 1996, Shaanxi Kelong New Material Technology Co., Ltd. has grown into a high-tech enterprise, specializing in R&D, production, and sales of combined sealing products, high-pressure hydraulic hoses, and longwall chock haulers, catering primarily to the coal mining industry. Although based in China, the company actively exports and supports Turkey’s expanding mining markets, providing equipment crucial for underground operations.
Leveraging advanced Austrian technology from DMH Group and Italian hydraulic hose production equipment, Kelong ensures reliable, high-performance products. Its comprehensive manufacturing capacity includes an annual output exceeding 15 million meters of hydraulic hose, supporting application fields beyond mining such as civil aviation, high-speed rail, and wind power. The company prides itself on a robust independent R&D center that supports OEM and ODM services, adapting technologies for Turkey's localized mining challenges and regulatory frameworks.

Presently, the company's total assets amount to approximately 600 million RMB, with an annual output value of 300 million RMB. With a workforce exceeding 400 employees—including nearly 180 skilled engineers and technicians—Kelong is a premier player in the sealing and hydraulic hose industry.
R&D investment is prioritized, comprising over 7% of annual revenue in the past few years. As a leader in the coal machine sealing industry domestically, the company sets its sights on expanding its market share within Turkey’s underground mining segment to over 8%. With continuous focus on OEM/ODM customization, it delivers products tailored to specific operating conditions found in Turkish mines—such as rugged terrain, variable climate, and compliance with local safety regulations.
Their advanced sealing technology, derived from Austrian DMH equipment, minimizes friction and wear in piston guide rings and hydraulic seals. Complementary hydraulic hose production uses Italian-imported machinery, ensuring consistent quality and durability essential for underground coal mining’s demanding environments.
Kelong New Material Technology offers dynamic manufacturing and distribution capacity with an independent R&D and technical support center. This facility enables the production of highly customized sealing and hydraulic products to match Turkey's unique mining requirements.
Such OEM/ODM partnerships have already enhanced operational performance at several Turkish mining sites by integrating state-of-the-art sealing kits into existing hydraulic systems and by supplying longwall chock carriers tailored to local geology and coal seam profiles.
The sealing products utilize advanced equipment and production technology licensed from DMH Company of Austria, ensuring superior durability and performance in demanding underground coal mining applications typical for Turkey.
The hydraulic hose production utilizes a complete set of state-of-the-art machinery imported from Italy. This investment guarantees the consistency and strength of hoses critical for high-pressure hydraulic systems in subterranean mining operations.
With assets exceeding 600 million RMB and a skilled workforce including numerous engineers and technicians, Kelong is ranked among the top three domestic sealing equipment manufacturers. Its projections indicate a significant jump in the domestic market share for hydraulic hoses and frame-type handling vehicles within the next two years.
The company’s strategy focuses on relentless technological innovation to ensure its product lines remain at the cutting edge, meeting the stringent demands of underground coal mining in diverse environments such as those found in Turkey. Its commitment extends to collaborations that cultivate localized solutions, fostering greater safety, efficiency, and environmental compatibility.
Prospective clients and partners are warmly invited to engage with Kelong New Material Technology to co-create advanced underground coal mining support systems suitable for the Turkish mining industry’s future.
