Sarnikon

What Sarnikon does

Sarnikon Metal ve Elektronik A.Ş. is a privately held Turkish industrial company founded in 2007 and headquartered in Ataşehir, Istanbul, operating across LED lighting components, aluminum thermal management, and electronic component distribution. The company manufactures aluminum heatsinks using a proprietary skiving process that enables higher fin density and superior thermal conductivity versus conventional extrusion, and runs in-house SMT and through-hole PCB assembly lines for LED modules and electronic assemblies. Its product portfolio spans heatsinks and LED housings, LED modules, LED drivers, optics and lenses (including Khatod's Italian-made optical systems), connectors, and finished LED fixtures such as the SKL-60 street lamp and Sunlumin architectural luminaires. The company also distributes globally branded electronic and lighting components — Osram, Inventronics, Khatod, Ledil, Moso, Lifud, Wago, BJB, Refond, and Tyf — positioning it as a multi-brand one-stop supplier for industrial, commercial, and architectural lighting OEMs.

Sarnikon's go-to-market is B2B and project-driven, with no publicly listed pricing and a quote-based sales model accessed via the website's 'Add to Quote Basket' (Teklif Sepetine Ekle) and 'We Call You' (Sizi Arayalim) lead capture forms. The company reaches customers through direct field sales, downloadable PDF catalogs, and an email newsletter (E-Bülten), and serves both lighting fixture manufacturers and broader electronics/power-electronics buyers needing thermal management and discrete components. Its geographic reach spans more than 50 export countries across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and the Americas. Quality and compliance posture is anchored by ISO 9001:2015, IATF 16949:2016 (automotive), and ISO 14001:2015 certifications covering aluminum injection, SMT line, and metal processing operations. The company employs 101–250 people and operates as a Turkish anonim şirketi with no disclosed external investment, parent company, or M&A activity.
