What Yucel Boru does

Yücel Boru ve Profil Endüstrisi A.Ş. is a privately held Turkish steel pipe and profile manufacturer founded in 1969 and headquartered in Gebze, Kocaeli. Operating as part of the diversified Yücel Group conglomerate alongside Kroman Çelik, Çelsantaş, Çayırova Boru, Demtrans Taşımacılık, Yücel İhracat İthalat, and Yücel Eko-Tarım, the company ranks within the top 50 of Turkey's ISO 500 largest industrial enterprises. It produces a broad portfolio spanning industrial tubes and profiles, construction pipes and profiles, special section profiles (oval, hexagonal, I/X, D, L/T/Z, omega, and others), precision tubes and cold drawn precision tubes, C-U profiles, and processed flat steel products (hot-rolled, galvanized, painted, cold-rolled, acid-washed, and deck sheets) through a Steel Service Center launched in 2015. Production runs from facilities in Gebze (established 1998), Osmaniye (established 2014), Yeşilköy, and a precision tube facility at the Gebze Organized Industrial Zone acquired in May 2020, supported by certifications including IATF 16949:2016, ISO 9001/14001/45001/50001/27001, CE, UKCA, and ACRS-AS/NZS 1163.

The company generates revenue primarily through B2B hardware sales of manufactured steel products to industrial manufacturers (automotive, white goods, furniture, electrical appliances), the construction sector, steel service centers and distributors, and international customers, with go-to-market executed via regional sales representatives covering all seven major Turkish regions, a dedicated export sales team, and client and dealer portals. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and the company holds 252,000,000 TL in committed and paid-in capital per MTHS records. Customer lock-in is driven by qualification requirements (automotive IATF 16949, EU CE, UK UKCA, Australian ACRS) and operational integration via the client portal, which provides order management, shipment tracking, quality certificates, and invoicing. The company is led by a Board chaired by Fatih Osman Tar with Vice Chairman Cavit Yücel (reflecting the founding family's continued control) and General Manager Kemal Saraç, and is subject to independent audit under BDK 2014/087.
