Revenue model
- Custom contract manufacturing (B2B parts): Core revenue stream from contract manufacturing of casted, hot forged, machined, and bar-turned brass, aluminum, magnesium, and stainless steel parts for global industrial brand customers; project-based, quoted per RFQ (the contact form requires specifying commodity and reason for contact including Sales). Largely recurring long-term framework relationships as evidenced by Türkiye's Top 1000 Exporters rankings.
- Hardware sales (metal parts/components): Sale of finished forged, die-cast, machined, and turned metal components for HVAC, fluid handling, fire & safety, liquid transport, automotive, e-mobility, white goods, industrial, aerospace, and defense applications. Production capacity expansion (15 Frech HPDC machines, €20M investment; Czechia plant tripling capacity) indicates scale-driven revenue growth.
- Integrated surface treatment/plating services: Plating and surface treatment services offered as part of integrated solutions (rack/drum nickel chrome, vibratory finishing, pickling) with 135,000 m² annual coating capacity and 1,800 tons annual plating capacity, sold alongside manufactured parts.
- Engineering / R&D / Design services: Product design, design optimization, process optimization, equipment design, and EU-funded collaborative research (e.g., M-ERA.NET project as coordinator) generating professional service revenue and supported by ministry-approved R&D and Design Centers.
- Tooling & die manufacturing: Internal production of cutting tools and forging dies (with integrated tooling arm) supports production; subsidiary TORUN Cutting Tools operates as a separate business line with dedicated sales engineers and product development engineers.
