The year 2024 has been a significant milestone for Hatko Sound Barriers on the international stage. Collaborating with our UK distributor, Gramm Barrier Systems, Hatko completed the world’s first carbon-neutral noise barrier project at the Global Centre of Rail Excellence (GCRE) facility in the UK. This innovative project, utilising Hatko’s patented products, represents a global first both environmentally and technologically, as recycled rubber materials were transformed into high-performance noise barriers.

Two Pollutions, One Solution: Our Eco-Friendly Approach

Hatko stands out with its innovative and holistic approach, Two Pollutions, One Solution, which offers solutions to environmental challenges. By repurposing waste tires, Hatko addresses both waste management and noise pollution. Its noise barriers made from recycled rubber prevent environmental harm caused by waste and offer a sustainable, high-performance noise control solution.

A Practical Solution to Carbon Footprint Reduction

Hatko Sound Barriers is a pioneer in providing industry-leading solutions for reducing carbon footprints. Its products, made from recycled materials, significantly lower carbon emissions. For example, in its carbon-neutral noise barrier project in the UK, the use of recycled rubber materials prevented tons of carbon emissions. Additionally, the energy savings and sustainability principles integrated into Hatko’s production process further amplify its positive environmental impact.

Pioneering Projects in Türkiye and Worldwide

In 2024, Hatko launched various projects across Türkiye while achieving new successes on the global stage. From highways and rail systems to sports and cultural centres and even libraries, Hatko continued to make a difference with its noise barriers made from recycled materials. Furthermore, Hatko developed next-generation solar-panel-integrated noise barriers that combine sound insulation with energy production.

Global Recognition with IRF and ENBF Memberships

This year, Hatko’s memberships in the International Road Federation (IRF) and European Noise Barrier Federation (ENBF) further solidified its international presence. Notably, Hatko’s participation and presentations at the IRF World Congress in Istanbul, hosted by the Turkish Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure, provided a prominent platform to showcase Hatko’s innovative solutions on a global scale. In their presentations, Hatko highlighted the contributions of our sustainable infrastructure solutions and eco-friendly products.

International Dealership and Business Development

In 2024, Hatko continued its global expansion with the following achievements:

• Dealerships in the UK and Australia: Partnership agreements with Gramm Barrier Systems in the UK and Wallmark Smart Wall Solutions in Australia.
• Field Trials in Germany: Successful ongoing field trials of our products in rail systems.
• Italy: Collaboration with the Rome Advanced District (ROAD), with products shipped and discussions ongoing for projects with private road operators.

Investing in the Future with New International Projects in 2025

Aligned with its mission for sustainability, Hatko is preparing to take part in new projects in different countries in 2025. With its eco-friendly products, Hatko aims to reduce both noise and carbon pollution in more countries. These projects will contribute to the development of sustainable infrastructure solutions globally.
