What UNBAK Machinery CO LTD does

UNBAK Machinery CO LTD (UNBAK Makine LTD ŞTİ) is a privately held Turkish manufacturer of light gauge steel (LGS) and cold formed steel (CFS) rollform machines, headquartered in İzmir, Turkey. Founded in 1991 with family business roots dating to 1960, the company designs and produces heavy industrial machinery under the ICARUS LSF brand for global export to construction companies, steel fabricators, and building developers. The product portfolio spans five core machine models (IC-1000SA entry-level, IC-2500SA mid-range, IC-3000SERIES professional, IC-5000SERIES industrial, and IC-XMOBILE mobile containerized unit) that produce roof trusses, wall panels, lattice joists, and floor joists for residential, commercial, modular, industrial, and agricultural construction applications.

UNBAK operates a vertically integrated ecosystem combining proprietary hardware with FRAMEREXPERT4 machine control software, SABS anti-blockage system, ALLIN1 Eco production platform, PUNCH to LIGHT punching technology, LGSFLEX mobile technology, and a Slide&Lock quick-change mold system. The company uses globally recognized components from Beckhoff, SKF, Parker, FAG, SICK, and EATON, and its software integrates with leading LGS design platforms (Vertex BD, Revit-Strucsoft, Framebuilder MRD). Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales with quote-based pricing and multi-year contracts, supplemented by structured after-sales service (WhatsApp support, remote diagnostics, on-site visits), spare parts and custom molds, and pre-delivery operator training. The go-to-market is direct enterprise sales with a global field presence across 5 continents and event-driven demand generation through trade exhibitions such as BIG 5 Dubai, supported by multilingual digital marketing in Turkish, English, and Russian.
