TurkRED to increase capacity with new investments

TurkRED, the first and only company in Turkey using Globoid (Double Helical) Technology for gearboxes, will increase its capacity with new investments. The company, founded by Cevat Ateş in 1980 under the name Ateş Makina, has been producing and designing Globoid gear systems domestically and nationally since 2018 under the name TurkRED Gearbox.

In a statement regarding production activities and new investment plans, Fatih Kar, the General Manager of TurkRED, emphasized that the key factor that sets TurkRED apart from other gearbox companies is its use of Globoid (Double Helical) Technology. He mentioned that the company, operating in Sakarya, has been serving as the sole supplier of Globoid gears to the Turkish defense industry for 16 years.

Fatih Kar also pointed out that, in addition to standard production, the company also manufactures project-based products. He provided the following details: “In 2023, we aimed to position TurkRED in a stronger position through a new restructuring. This new process will give the industry a significant momentum. We have started production with very fast and specialized machines to manufacture gearbox gears. We have now activated a new line to produce Globoid gears, with the software, design, and manufacturing of mechanical parts being our own. We will produce smaller, yet much higher torque-bearing capacity, more reliable, and higher impact-resistant, with the ability to withstand heavy startup and stopping loads, and capable of withstanding shock loads of up to 300%. The double helical design will offer precise low backlash, increased durability, longer life, flexible design, and smaller, lighter gearboxes. With the new investment, production will speed up approximately 20 times. With this investment, we will produce low-backlash and backlash-free gearboxes, which are highly demanded in the industry, entirely domestically in our own facilities. As Turkey’s first backlash-free gearbox manufacturer, we will add significant value to the sector. By increasing our production capacity, we will be able to meet the industry’s needs. We are also planning to export low-backlash and zero-backlash gearboxes. Our target is 80% export. We are also planning a new investment in a production facility related to this.”
