What Rekarma does

Rekarma is a privately-held Turkish value-added distributor of specialized international industrial equipment, headquartered in Istanbul. The company operates across four product divisions — Machine (MAKINE), Automation (OTOMASYON), Industry (ENDÜSTRI), and Automotive (OTOMOTIV) — and holds authorized Turkish distribution rights for more than 30 international brands including CROWN (forklifts and material handling), GIANT, MULTIONE, and AIRMAN-HOKUETSU (mini construction machines), AUTEC (industrial radio control systems), Abertax Technologies (battery management systems), SIGALARM (high voltage proximity warning systems), TF-TECHNOLOGIES (asphalt machine automation), McCONELL and PROGRESSIVE (green space maintenance), TRELLEBORG (industrial hoses and rubber), and SENQUIP/RDS/DCL (diesel engine control, weighing, and emission systems).

The company's underlying technology is the integration and resale of these third-party products, including specialized components such as Abertax's patented magnetic water valve and e²BMS wireless battery monitoring systems, AUTEC TÜV-certified Dynamic Series radio remote controls with multi-frequency operation (863-870 MHz, 915 MHz, 434 MHz, 429 MHz), SIGALARM high voltage proximity detection, and PROGRESSIVE Pro-Flex 120 wide-area mowers capable of cutting 26,304 m² per hour. Rekarma adds local value through technical sales consultation, system integration, and after-sales support rather than developing the underlying intellectual property itself.

Rekarma generates revenue through two primary streams: equipment distribution (hardware sales of distributed brands) and professional services (technical consultation, integration support, and after-sales services). Pricing is consultative and quote-based with multi-year contracts; specific price points are not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market is direct B2B sales targeting industrial enterprise customers across ten verticals including logistics and warehousing, construction and road building, mining and tunneling, green area and forestry, energy, cement and ready-mix concrete, agriculture and livestock, maritime and shipping, iron/steel/aluminum, and automotive vehicle-mounted equipment. Geographic scope is exclusively the Turkish domestic market.
