Gamak Makina Sanayi

What Gamak Makina Sanayi does

Gamak Makina Sanayi A.Ş. is a Turkish industrial electric motor manufacturer founded in 1961 and headquartered in Ümraniye, Istanbul. The company designs and produces low voltage motors (0.06–4,000 kW) and medium voltage motors (150–4,000 kW), including 3-phase and 1-phase asynchronous motors and a portfolio of specialty variants such as ATEX/IECEx-certified Ex-Proof motors, smoke extraction motors, stone crusher motors, milking motors, and 4MW wind turbine generators. Gamak operates Turkey's only fully integrated electric motor production facility, with 80,000 m² of enclosed area on 145,000 m² of land and in-house capabilities spanning pressing, mechanical processing, winding, assembly, aluminum die-casting, a European-scale test laboratory, and — distinctively — copper wire (enameled wire) production, a capability shared by only two companies globally.

The company sells its motors directly to industrial customers across manufacturing, petrochemical, mining, energy, and renewable energy sectors, primarily through a quote-based sales model with no public pricing and no distributor network. Customer engagement is driven by the website's "Teklif Al" (Request a Quote) form, technical blog content, social media presence, and participation in major international trade fairs including SPS Nürnberg, ADIPEC, and InnoTrans. Gamak is privately held (A.Ş. joint-stock company), has held Turkish R&D Center status since 2017, employs approximately 1,000 people, and continues to expand its product portfolio, most recently with IE4 Super Premium Efficiency motors entering mass production in 2022.

Core offering

GAMAK manufactures and sells a complete range of electric motors for industrial applications, spanning low voltage motors (0.06-4,000 kW) and medium voltage motors (150-4,000 kW) in both aluminum and cast iron housings, plus specialty motors including Ex-Proof (ATEX/IECEx-certified), smoke extraction, stone crusher, and milking motors. The company also produces 4MW wind turbine generators. Products are sold directly to industrial customers through website quote requests and trade fair engagement, with all major components — including enameled copper wire — manufactured in-house.

Product overview

GAMAK is Turkey's first and only integrated electric motor manufacturer, producing a comprehensive portfolio of electric motors ranging from 0.06 kW to 4000 kW power. The core offering consists of Low Voltage Motors (aluminum and cast iron housings, frame sizes 56-630) and Medium Voltage Motors (frame sizes 315-630). Under the low voltage category, GAMAK offers 1-Phase and 3-Phase Asynchronous Motors as the primary product lines, along with specialty motors including Ex-Proof Motors (ATEX certified), Smoke Extraction Motors (Turkey's first certified), ATEX 22 Motors, Stone Crusher Motors, and Milking Motors. The company has also expanded into wind turbine generator production at 4MW power levels. GAMAK provides complementary tools including a Motor Selection Tool and Energy Saving Calculator, along with technical documentation and catalogs for engineering support. The company manufactures most motor components in-house including copper wire (wire enameling), making it vertically integrated.
