Mess-Matic

What Mess-Matic does

Mess-Matic, legally operating as Teknik Balans Makina Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş., is a Turkish manufacturer of industrial and automotive balancing machines headquartered in Çiğli, Izmir. Founded in 1978 by Rüşdü Haskök and Raşit Konuk, the company designs and produces two main product families: industrial balancing machines (horizontal SYM series up to 30,000 kg rotor capacity, vertical SDM/UF series, automatic multi-station ODF/ORC/ODM/ODK machines, shaft and fan balancers, and tire balancers) and automotive garage equipment (wheel balancers, the Nova 3D wheel alignment system, tire changers, hydraulic lifts). The underlying technology combines electronic sensors, computer-controlled measurement software, ultrasonic width sensing, camera-based tire recognition, and Industry 4.0 connectivity for remote monitoring and data analysis, with servo-controlled automatic correction and integrated welding or milling units on premium lines.

The company's commercial model is hardware sales of capital equipment (industrial and automotive) supplemented by custom-engineered design services. Pricing is quote-based through direct sales, with no public price list disclosed. Mess-Matic sells through three channels: domestic Turkish direct sales, international export (covering 55 countries), and trade show engagement, most recently Frankfurt Automechanika in September 2024. Customers are split across industrial manufacturers (pumps, fans, turbines, electric motors, automotive OEMs and Tier 1s, agricultural machinery, rail) and automotive service centers. Mess-Matic reports 8,000+ project deliveries and 3,000+ global clients, and operates a TÜBİTAK-approved R&D Center (since 2017, first in Turkey's balancing machine sector) with 27 R&D personnel including 14 engineers, on a 5,000 square meter manufacturing site in the Atatürk Organized Industrial Zone.
