What Epta does

Epta is a Turkish private limited company (EPTA Eskişehir Metal ve Kablo San. ve Tic. Ltd. Şti., trading as Epta Global) founded in 1984 and headquartered in Eskişehir, Turkey, specializing in precision metal processing for industrial OEM customers. The company operates a tiered B2B supplier model, delivering custom-engineered tube forming, controlled atmosphere brazing (CAB), and UL-compliant hermetic compressor cables to automotive manufacturers (Ford Otosan, Renault, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Volkswagen, Hyundai, Toyota, Peugeot, Tofaş) and white goods producers. The firm is family-controlled under Chairman Güven Terzioğlu and has 51-100 employees with no disclosed institutional ownership.

Epta's technical core centers on three manufacturing capabilities: (i) continuous furnace brazing in hydrogen and Endogas atmospheres at 450°C-1200°C, joining metals with copper-phosphorus, silver, and aluminum-copper alloys; (ii) CNC tube bending with ±0.5 mm tolerances (tighter for hermetic compressor tubes); and (iii) production of sealed braided cables compliant with UL 5170 standards, operating from -40°C to +125°C with EMI shielding and vibration durability. The firm holds ISO 9001:2015, IATF 16949:2016, ISO 14001:2015, and UL certifications (obtained June 3, 2024), qualifying it for regulated automotive and appliance supply chains. Supporting capabilities include automated 100% leak and pressure testing (100-150 bar), drawing and stamping, product assembly, and in-house R&D co-engineering with OEM customers.

The business model is custom hardware sales and brazing services priced via project-level quotes tied to materials, processing methods, volume, and specifications. Revenue is generated through direct B2B sales to enterprise OEMs, with both domestic Turkish delivery and international shipping. Product lines span Tube & Pipe Forming, Hermetic Compressor Cables (Fusite), Brazing Services, Product Assemblies, Quality Control, Drawing & Stamping, and Product Development, with three specialized brazing sub-categories (Inox, Cooling, Cooking) targeting stainless-steel, refrigeration, and heating appliance verticals respectively. The 400 kW solar energy system installed in 2023 covers approximately 40% of annual energy consumption, and Epta has committed to UN Women's Empowerment Principles, positioning it as an ESG-conscious supplier within the Turkish industrial manufacturing base.
