Cetin Civata

What Cetin Civata does

Çetin Cıvata is a Turkish integrated fastener manufacturer operating four production facilities — three in Istanbul (Çatalca headquarters, Avcılar, İkitelli) and one in Malatya — with 700+ employees and an annual capacity of 40,000–60,000 metric tons producing approximately 20 million pieces per day. The company manufactures bolts, screws, nuts, and engineered special parts under DIN/ISO/EN/ANSI standards, with diameters spanning 2.9mm to 30mm and recent capability expansion to 300mm-length parts. Production is fully vertically integrated in-house, covering wire drawing, surface treatment, cold forming, heat treatment (achieving 8.8/10.9/12.9 quality grades and surface hardness up to 750HV), coating (via sister company Tekno Metal Kaplama), 100% optical/laser/eddy-current sorting, and packaging.

The company serves primarily automotive OEMs (VW Group, Mercedes-Benz, Tofaş/FIAT, Anadolu ISUZU) and white goods manufacturers (VESTEL, B/S/H Bosch), with secondary demand from construction, infrastructure, traffic barrier, machine building, and furniture segments. Roughly 45% of production is exported to EU markets (predominantly Germany), with sales to more than 40 countries overall. The company holds IATF 16949:2016, ISO 9001/14001/27001/45001/50001, and EN 14399/EN 15048 CE-mark certifications, alongside an R&D Center certificate from the Turkish Ministry of Industry and Technology.

Commercially, Çetin Cıvata operates an enterprise B2B sales motion with direct account management, dedicated export and domestic sales teams, and a wholly-owned Düsseldorf subsidiary (Cetin Schrauben und Verbindungselemente GmbH) for European market access. Revenue is generated through project- and quote-based pricing rather than disclosed public pricing. The business is privately held by the Tecdelioğlu family as part of TECDE Group (17-company conglomerate spanning fasteners, IT, construction/energy), with the third generation in management and the fourth generation entering the business. No external institutional investors, funding rounds, or public listing have been disclosed.
