Yaparlar Construction and Agricultural Tools

What Yaparlar Construction and Agricultural Tools does

Yaparlar İnşaat ve Tarım Aletleri Sanayi ve Ticaret Anonim Şirketi is a privately held Turkish manufacturer of hand tools, construction equipment, and agricultural implements, founded in 1947 and headquartered in Istanbul with a second manufacturing facility in Malatya (2nd Organized Industrial Zone). The company produces a diversified portfolio including shovels (steel, iron, aluminum, plastic), wheelbarrows (welded, demountable, plastic variants), hand tools and pickaxes, axes, sledgehammers, scrapers, construction accessories (mold locks, tie-rods, mortar pans), garden rakes and hoes, pallet trucks, hand trucks and trolleys, and wooden handles. Manufacturing processes span forging, heat treatment and hardening, electrostatic powder coating, computer-controlled machining, and electronically controlled hardwood drying (beech, ash, hornbeam).

Core technology centers on durable construction: work surfaces are hardened through heat treatment, products are finished with electrostatic furnace powder paint, and tolerances are held to ±3% weight and 0.05mm material thickness. Wooden handles are produced from certified hardwoods with moisture content controlled via electronic ovens. The company positions itself on quality, ergonomics, and domestic Turkish production, operating through a multi-brand architecture (YAPAR, YPR, FÜZE, YKS, YAPAR PRO, YAPAR FLEX) to address differentiated price-quality segments.

The business model is B2B and B2C product sales—primarily unit-based pricing denominated in Turkish Lira, distributed through three channels: a direct e-commerce storefront (shop.yaparlar.com), an authorized dealer portal (bayi.yaparlar.com), and direct B2B sales to construction and agricultural enterprises. The company serves construction industry professionals (contractors, masons, builders), the agricultural sector (farmers, gardeners), and hobby/DIY users, with current operating geographies including Turkey, Europe, and the Middle East. In 2023, Yaparlar launched a dedicated material handling division (yaparistif.com) extending into pallet trucks and warehouse equipment.
