What TSM Global does

TSM Global is a privately held Turkish multi-brand distributor of construction, material handling, and port equipment, headquartered in Istanbul (Kartal) and operating in 21 countries across Turkey, Eastern Europe, CIS, and the Middle East. Founded in 2014 with an 80% foreign / 20% domestic ownership structure, the company holds authorized distribution rights for a portfolio of premium global OEMs including Sumitomo (hydraulic crawler excavators, 7.5-80 ton), Ammann (road construction equipment and ABG asphalt finishers), Hyster and Yale (forklifts and warehouse equipment), Yanmar (mini excavators and compact equipment), Terex Fuchs, Terex RT, and Terex Finlay (material handlers, rough terrain cranes, and mobile crushers), Astra (IVECO heavy-duty off-road trucks), Lovol (wheel loaders, since 2024), Mafi (terminal tractors), Carer (heavy-tonnage electric forklifts), MTG (bucket wear parts), and VemaTrack (undercarriage components).

The business model combines direct enterprise sales through eight Turkish regional offices (Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir, Adana, Bursa, Diyarbakır, Konya, Antalya, Trabzon) with a 50+ authorized dealer network for Eastern Europe and CIS reach. Revenue is generated across five streams: new equipment sales (hardware), after-sales services including Periodic Maintenance Agreements (PBA) at 2,000-8,000 hour intervals, spare parts, long-term equipment rental, and second-hand equipment resale. PBA packages include the proprietary G@Nav GPS-based machine tracking system and exclusive Petronas Arbor lubricants, while Sumoil (the company's own brand) supplies engine, hydraulic, and transmission oils, creating a captive parts and consumables annuity tied to each unit sold. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.

The company sells primarily to enterprise and government customers in construction and mining (excavators, loaders, crushers), logistics and port operations (forklifts, container handlers, terminal tractors), agriculture (mini equipment), and industrial recycling and scrap (Fuchs material handlers, e.g., for ship dismantling at Aliağa). Notable named customers include Öztaş Madencilik (a quarry operator and 40-year partner), BMS Gemi Geri Dönüşüm (ship recycling), and the Turkish Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure. TSM Global has earned Sumitomo's AAA Success Award for three consecutive years under annual OEM audit, validating its service quality at the highest distributor tier.
