Kolarc

What Kolarc does

Kolarc Makine İmalat Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş. is a Turkish manufacturer and supplier of inverter-based welding machines, headquartered in the Alcı Organized Industrial Zone in Sincan/Ankara and operating with stated 100% domestic and national capital. Founded in 2017 with a workforce in the 101–250 range, the company produces a broad portfolio spanning manual welding equipment (MIG/MAG series MX and XM, TIG series TX and XT, MMA/stick series SX, XS, and KS), submerged arc welding systems (XSAW1000 tractor and automation variants rated up to 1000A), and robotic welding lines (Robotik MIG/MAG, Robotik TIG). Kolarc also markets six proprietary welding processes under the X-series brand — XDeep, XStabil, XCold, XRoot, Position, and Duo Pulse — alongside Kolarc.Cloud, a cloud-based equipment management and monitoring platform.

The company's technology stack rests on inverter-based power electronics with claimed energy savings of up to 35% versus conventional power units (notably on the XSAW1000). Flagship hardware incorporates a 4x4 (four-channel, four-groove) wire feeding system with 32mm ball-bearing rollers, a 256 PPR optical encoder that checks wire speed 50,000 times per second, military-standard connectors, and a smart cooling system that the company states extends cooling fan and liquid-pump life up to 7x. Mid- and high-tier units carry 450 synergic welding programs with 99 program memory slots and feature sets spanning HF ignition, Lift TIG, 2T/4T trigger modes, hot start, ARCforce, CEL capability for cellulosic electrodes, and VRD safety functions. Kolarc holds ISO 45001 (Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems) and CE certification across multiple machine models.

Commercial operations combine an authorized dealer and reseller network across Turkey with a wholly-owned European subsidiary, Kolarc BV, located in Barendrecht, Netherlands, which handles direct sales and service for the Netherlands and broader Europe. The company additionally maintains a multi-office service footprint in Russia (Moscow, St. Petersburg, Nizhny Novgorod, Kaluga, Volgodonsk) coordinated via partner Technology Center TENA LLC. Revenues are generated primarily through hardware sales, with primary customer use cases concentrated in heavy-industry verticals including shipyards, steel construction, and carbon-cutting applications. The company operates multilingual websites (Turkish, Russian, English, Dutch), offers a 5-year warranty on transformers and diodes with a 2-year general product warranty, and provides 10-business-day delivery on stocked products — but discloses no pricing, ARR, or unit-shipment figures.

Core offering

Kolarc manufactures and sells inverter-based industrial welding machines, including MIG/MAG, TIG, MMA, and submerged arc welding (SAW) systems, along with robotic welding cells and proprietary X-series welding process technologies. Its portfolio spans power ranges from 160A to 1000A, sold as discrete product series (MX, XM, TX, XT, SX, XS, KS, XSAW1000) for industrial fabrication shops, shipyards, steel construction, and automated manufacturing lines. The company also offers the Kolarc.Cloud software platform for equipment management and monitoring.

Product overview

Kolarc is a Turkish manufacturer of inverter-based welding machines operating under 100% domestic and national capital. The product portfolio consists of three main welding process categories: MIG/MAG (MX and XM series), TIG (TX and XT series), and MMA/manual stick welding (SX, XS, and KS series), along with XSAW submerged arc welding systems. Each series is differentiated by power capacity (ranging from 160A to 1000A) and feature complexity. Kolarc also offers proprietary welding process technologies branded as X-series (XDeep, XStabil, XCold, XRoot, Position, Duo Pulse), a cloud software platform (Kolarc.Cloud), and robotic welding solutions for automation.
