Erca Project Drives Marble Quarry Efficiency with Volvo Machinery
Marble Portal Machinery Feature – November 2025
In the marble heartland of Turkey, Erca Project has become a model of precision, reliability, and partnership in the quarrying sector. Operating from Bursa, the company manages five active quarries and multiple aggregate production sites, supplying the construction and architectural industries with premium-grade stone.
Behind its consistent performance stands a simple philosophy — invest in the best machinery and build long-term trust. That’s why Erca Project relies exclusively on Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) and its official Turkish distributor, Ascendum Makina.
Two Decades of Experience, One Clear Choice
Site Supervisor Arif Arslan, who has worked in the industry since 2005, says that heavy marble operations demand uncompromising quality.
“We work in marble quarry management and aggregate production. These are demanding jobs, and to perform efficiently, we must rely on powerful, dependable machines.”
Erca Project’s fleet reflects this mindset — six Volvo excavators (three 30-ton, two 40-ton, and one 20-ton unit) supported by three Volvo L120 wheel loaders. Each plays a critical role in extracting, loading, and transporting massive marble blocks, where precision, balance, and power determine success.
“Everyone in this field knows Volvo leads when it comes to marble. That’s why we don’t look for alternatives — Volvo is our only choice.”
Performance That Saves Time and Fuel
Speed and efficiency are non-negotiable in modern quarrying, and Volvo machines deliver both.
“Our production must be fast to stay competitive. Volvo machines are strong, durable, and fuel-efficient — they allow us to work quickly while keeping costs under control.”
Beyond performance, operators enjoy a comfortable and safe cabin environment, enhancing visibility and reducing fatigue.
“The cab design is excellent. Visibility is wide and clear, making operations easier and safer.”
A Partnership Built on Trust
Erca Project’s success also stems from its close cooperation with Ascendum Makina, Volvo CE’s Turkish dealer. Arslan emphasizes that the partnership goes beyond simple transactions:
“We don’t see Ascendum only as a supplier. They maintain our machines, deliver spare parts quickly, and always support us — they’re truly our business partners.”
He recalls experiences with other brands before switching fully to Volvo:
“We tried different equipment in the past — some had frequent issues, even broken booms. Volvo has never let us down, and we have no reason to look elsewhere.”
The Choice of Professionals
For Arslan and his crew, the equation is simple: strong machines, reliable service, and long-term collaboration.
“I recommend Volvo to everyone in this sector. They’re the professors of this business — you can’t go wrong with them.”
