ISTANBUL (AA) - Turkish building manufacturer Karmod exported polyethylene water tanks to Uruguay, the company said in a statement on Monday.

"This is our first export of water tanks to the American continents. We are proud to introduce our high-quality, rotationally molded polyethylene tanks to this new market,” said Talay Ozturk, general manager of Karmod Plastic Group.

Made from high-density polyethylene that undergoes specialized thermal processing, the tanks were designed in blue color to prevent algae growth.

Ozturk said the shipment includes 160 tanks varying in capacity from 100 liters to 3,000 liters, “all manufactured to our exacting standards that come from years of experience and planning.”

The tanks were exported to a company which specializes in agricultural and forestry machinery in the city of Rio Negro, Uruguay.

"These tanks will be integrated into machinery used for irrigation and spraying, aiding local agricultural practices with efficient water storage solutions," Ozturk said.
