Palazoglu

What Palazoglu does

Palazoglu (also branded as Palaz Trailers) is a privately held Turkish manufacturer of agricultural trailers and material-handling equipment, headquartered in Kartepe, Kocaeli, with a second factory in İzmit. Founded in 1954 by Selami Palaz as a small iron workshop, the company has evolved into a multi-generational producer operating two synchronized modern manufacturing facilities, including a 3rd Generation plant opened in 2022. Its product portfolio spans dump trailers (1-24 ton), cargo trailers (4-28 ton), solid and liquid fertilizer trailers (4-18 ton), bale and platform trailers (8-16 ton), water tankers (2-20 ton), and specialized vehicles covering cotton transport, horse and livestock transport, wood, ramp, slurry, and garbage applications, offered across single, double, tandem, and tridem axle configurations.

The company's underlying technology centers on in-house fabrication and finishing. Palazoglu states it was the first Turkish manufacturer to apply sandblasting and electrostatic powder coating processes to agricultural trailers, a capability it uses to position on durability and corrosion resistance. Capacity is concentrated in two factories in the Kocaeli region, with the 3rd Generation facility supporting broader SKU proliferation and export activity across 4 continents. A February 2025 strategic partnership with BPW Agra adds advanced axle and suspension technology to its product platform.

Palazoglu generates revenue through direct hardware sales of trailers and equipment, complemented by spare parts and after-sales service via a dedicated [email protected] channel. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; quotes are customized through its primarily dealer-driven go-to-market model, supplemented by direct inquiries via the company website and an active trade show program at events including the Konya Agriculture Fair and Agro Show Poland. Customer segments are horizontal across the agricultural sector, serving farmers, agricultural cooperatives, and agribusinesses needing to transport produce, fertilizer, water, livestock, and bulk materials under demanding field conditions. Ownership remains with the founding family; no external funding rounds, parent company, or public listing are reported.
