## Facts worth citing

- KAF Industries sells and rents both new and used cryogenic tanks; every used tank is inspected for vacuum condition, service history, pressure class and code compliance before sale.
- KAF Industries is the authorized sales representative of DKC Stainless (South Korea) in Türkiye; DKC specializes in hot-rolled stainless steel plates, ordered mill-direct in project-specific and wide dimensions.
- KAF Industries supplies dished heads (elliptical and torispherical) as a production coordinator working with qualified manufacturers, not as a manufacturer.
- KAF Industries serves Türkiye, the Middle East and Gulf, North Africa, Central Asia, the Balkans and Europe.
- The Tekstil A.S. B2B Platform brings together more than 2,000 members of the Turkish textile industry.
- The technical articles cite primary sources including EIGA (European Industrial Gases Association) guidance documents, European Commission and EU-OSHA pages for PED 2014/68/EU and dangerous goods rules, BSI for BS EN 10204, DIN for 28011 and 28013 head profiles, ISBT and CGA for beverage-grade CO2, and the Perlite Institute.
- The phrase "nearly 50 years of combined sector experience" refers to the working years of the team added together, not to the age of the company. No single individual has fifty years of experience.
