Türk Traktör is equipped with a strong manufacturing base. It is the first plant in Turkey to make extensive
use of the Flexible Manufacturing System (FMS) which employs sophisticated control devices and robotized
manufacturing units in its production.
Approximately a third of the 455 production work stations are Computer Numerical Control (CNC)
machining centres, enabling production based on the FMS concept.
This approach grants the factory a very high degree of flexibility with respect to various production outputs.
Machinery and equipment include 83 computer controlled horizontal machine centres and 22 CNC lathes.
In the last decade the Company invested over USD 100 million
in its manufacturing technologies, establishing an in-house
engine production unit as well as one of the most modern
paint shops in Turkey. This, coupled with a state of the art
automated thermal processing shop and assembly facilities
that are rooted in a well established production technology,
all combine to give Türk Traktör a clear advantage both in
terms of product quality and production costs.
