What Biçakcilar does

Biçakcilar, operating under the brand KoçMedical | Bıçakçılar, is an Istanbul-based medical device manufacturer founded in 1959 and operating as a subsidiary of Koç Holding, Turkey's largest diversified conglomerate. The company produces a broad portfolio of medical devices organized into seven product lines: disposable medical solutions, examination and operating room surgical solutions, cardiovascular surgery solutions, neurosurgery solutions, respiratory care products, diagnostic kits, and vaccine storage cabinets. These products are built on conventional medical device and healthcare technology foundations, including single-use safety-engineered products, surgical instrumentation, and specialized storage systems for cold-chain vaccine management.

The company generates revenue through a B2B enterprise sales model targeting healthcare providers (hospitals, clinics, and medical facilities) primarily in Turkey with export activity to multiple international markets. In addition to direct product sales, Biçakcilar operates three service lines: technical support and maintenance for medical equipment, BTEST in-house laboratory testing services, and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) manufacturing for other medical device companies. This service component provides a secondary revenue stream and channel-based growth lever beyond branded product sales. The company employs 501-1,000 people, operates a manufacturing facility in Esenyurt/Istanbul alongside its Üsküdar headquarters, and has been active in international trade events such as Arab Health 2025 to pursue Middle East and broader geographic expansion.
