Erciyas Holding

What Erciyas Holding does

Erciyas Holding is a privately-held, family-controlled Turkish industrial investment group founded in 1989 by metallurgical engineer Ahmet Kamil Erciyas and headquartered in Ataşehir, Istanbul. The holding operates across four sectors — steel pipe manufacturing, energy, mobility, and services (logistics and real estate) — serving enterprise customers, governments, and consumers in 50+ countries. The group employs 1,001–5,000 people and is led by CEO Kamil Emre Erciyas, who established the energy and renewable arms beginning in 2013.

The group's flagship is Erciyas Steel Pipe, which produces large-diameter spiral (HSAW) steel pipes for oil and gas transmission, water infrastructure, and structural/piling applications at a combined 600,000 MTon/year capacity across facilities in Düzce and Mersin — the largest such capacity in Europe following the 2015–2016 acquisition of a 51% stake in Özbal Çelik Boru. Other core assets include Erciyas Rail (RC Industry, railway wagons and bogies compliant with TSI/UIC/EN standards, factories in Hendek and Sivas), Briza Wind (16 turbines, 52.8 MW in Balıkesir), a 10% stake in the 1,080 MW Komet Energy combined-cycle gas plant, Bimas/Argeus Mobility (200,000+ unit annual bicycle capacity from a solar-powered İzmir factory), Glober Logistics (~1 million tons annual transportation capacity), and real estate operations (Övgün in Turkey, Pimre in Barcelona). The group's technical differentiation rests on proprietary HSAW process know-how capable of producing single-piece pipes up to 53 meters in length and world-record diameters, backed by API 5L, ISO 9001/14001/17025, OHSAS 18001, CSA Z245.1, and EN/UIC certifications.

Erciyas generates revenue primarily through direct B2B enterprise sales of industrial hardware (steel pipes, wagons, bicycles, energy output) under project-based pricing, supplemented by consumer channels for Bimas bicycles (direct sales in Turkey, ECC-Bimas N.V. distribution in Europe) and professional services from Glober Logistics and the real estate subsidiaries. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; energy is sold to the grid at regulated or market rates. Distribution is dominated by direct field sales with dedicated project management teams for mega-infrastructure customers (SOCAR, BP, BOTAS, Vattenfall, Wintershall, ADE Algeria, Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality, Per Aarsleff), complemented by European sales/service offices and a dealer network for consumer mobility products. The holding is privately funded through founder and family capital with no disclosed external PE or VC participation.
