What Kıraç Galvaniz does

Kıraç Galvaniz A.Ş., operating commercially as "TCK by Kıraç," is a Turkish industrial manufacturer of road-safety infrastructure and a provider of hot-dip galvanizing services. The company's core products include guardrails, EN 1317-3-certified crash cushions (impact attenuators), and end terminals, supplemented by adjacent road-safety categories such as highway lighting systems, road sign systems, and solar-energy road-safety products. The galvanizing line is certified to EN ISO 1461 and serves both internal product finishing and external contract galvanizing customers, making the company a vertically integrated supplier of coated road-safety hardware. The company is headquartered in Kestel, Bursa, Turkey, was founded in 2006, and is publicly listed on Borsa Istanbul under the ticker TCK.

The business model combines two revenue streams. The first is the design, manufacture, and sale of road-safety systems to public infrastructure buyers — primarily the Turkish General Directorate of Highways (Karayolları Genel Müdürlüğü) and municipalities — and to contractors executing public road projects, with pricing driven by project tenders and unit volumes. The second is toll hot-dip galvanizing services sold to external industrial customers, monetizing the in-house finishing capacity and providing a counter-cyclical buffer against public-budget timing. Customer relationships are anchored on certified product performance and prior project track record, supported by memberships in the International Road Federation (IRF) and the Turkish Road Association (TOD).

Operationally, Kıraç Galvaniz employs 130 qualified personnel and is investing 1.35 billion TL in a new Bozüyük production facility positioned as one of Europe's largest integrated galvanizing plants. The company participated in Intertraffic Amsterdam 2024 (April 16-19, 2024) as a channel for international market development, and holds EN 1317-3 and EN ISO 1461 certifications as core compliance assets for both domestic and EU public procurement.
