What Altinay Technology Group does

Altinay Technology Group is a privately held Turkish technology conglomerate operating 11 companies across three divisions — Defense, Robotics, and Energy & Mobility — headquartered in Istanbul with production facilities in Tuzla, Kocaeli, and Cologne, Germany. The Defense Group, anchored by Altinay Defense Technologies (Borsa Istanbul-listed since May 2024), DASAL Aerospace Technologies, and the TUSAŞ joint venture TAAC Aerospace Technologies, designs and manufactures mission-critical subsystems including indigenous multi-rotor UAV platforms (Peregrine, PUHU C100, Kırlangıç, Falcon, Doğan, Arıkuşu), landing gear and flight control actuators for the KAAN national combat aircraft and HÜRJET jet trainer, Iron Bird test systems, SATCOM pedestals, and the ALKARA autonomous anti-drone system. The group holds AS9100D certifications and reports a $215M backlog with a $480M revenue target by 2031.

The Robotics Group includes Altinay Robot Technologies, GRASS (domestic industrial robot arms under Turkey's HAMLE Program), and German acquisitions KSM and Olbricht Automation, delivering turnkey factory automation to automotive OEMs (BMW, Audi, Ford Otosan), white goods, glass, and manufacturing sectors across 20+ export countries. The Energy & Mobility Group comprises Altinay Electromobility and Energy Technologies (30 MWh annual capacity for EV battery systems and BMS), Actio Mobility Technologies (micro-mobility), and the Ford Otosan QVM-certified Altinay Modification Center (375,000 vehicles converted since 2012).

The group employs 1,200+ people with 25M hours of accumulated engineering experience and operates through a mix of direct enterprise sales to defense ministries and primes, project-based turnkey industrial automation engagements, and channel partnerships for international defense exports (PM Defence in Malaysia, EDGE and CALIDUS in UAE). Revenue is generated predominantly through hardware sales of subsystems and turnkey automation systems, supplemented by professional services (aerospace engineering consulting, vehicle modification services), with capital reinvestment of approximately $75M in new infrastructure (Dilovası Manufacturing Center, Tuzla Technology Campus) supporting a stated 2031 top-100 defense industry revenue ambition.
