What Climart does

Climart Klima ve Soğutma Cihazları Sanayi Ticaret A.Ş. is a Turkish industrial manufacturer founded in 2010 and headquartered in the Ulukent Organized Industrial Zone in Menemen, İzmir. The company designs and produces two related product families for commercial vehicles: (1) air-conditioning systems — split and monobloc configurations spanning 4kW to 40kW cooling capacity for minibuses, midibuses, full-size buses, and specialty vehicles — and (2) transport refrigeration units (the ART1000–ART5500T series) covering 6m³ to 50m³ cargo box volumes with multi-temperature capability (-18°C / 0°C / +5°C) and hot-gas defrost. Many units are vehicle-engine-driven via the crankshaft, with electric standby variants available for stationary operation. Core technology comprises conventional vapor-compression refrigeration using R134a and R404A refrigerants, integrated with vehicle electrical and engine systems, and certified to IATF 16949, ISO 9001/14001/45001, CE, and ECE E24 type-approval standards.

Climart monetizes primarily through B2B hardware sales to commercial-vehicle OEMs as a first-fit supplier under long-term contracts — Ford Otosan (since 2017), Karsan (since 2015), and Isuzu (since 2011) are named anchor customers, with Ford Transit ambulance AC and integrated food-transport cooling units co-developed with Ford R&D. A secondary revenue stream runs through a Turkey-wide dealer/bayi network (with online dealer portal), an Istanbul branch service point, and overseas service points supporting aftermarket parts, replacement units, and direct fleet-operator sales in Europe (since 2014), North America (since 2016), and the Middle East (since 2012). Customer segments span commercial-vehicle manufacturers, fleet operators and logistics companies, and food producers/retailers (e.g., Süttaş, Eti, Ülker, A101, BİM, Migros) requiring refrigerated transport. Pricing is quote-based and negotiated per OEM contract; the company operates with 11–50 employees, no disclosed institutional investors, and no public listing.

Core offering

Climart manufactures commercial vehicle air conditioning systems (for minibuses, midibuses, full-size buses, and specialty vehicles) and transport refrigeration/frigorific units (for food and medicine cold-chain transport). The company operates as an OEM supplier co-developing integrated climate control solutions with manufacturers such as Ford Otosan, Karsan, and Isuzu, and distributes through a Turkey-wide dealer network plus overseas service points.

Product overview

Climart manufactures climate control systems for commercial vehicles, organized into three main product lines: Frigorific Systems (refrigeration units for food/medicine transport), Commercial Vehicle Air Conditioners (for buses, minibuses, and midibuses), and Special Application units. The frigorific product line includes 8 models (ART1000 through ART5000T) ranging from 6m³ to 50m³ box volume capacity, offering both engine-driven and electric standby options. The AC product line is segmented by vehicle type: Split Minibus (ART8 ECO, ART10, ART11), Monobloc Minibus (ART12, ART15), Monobloc Midibus (ART18 ECO, ART22, ART24), and Monobloc Bus (ART40). Special applications include ART3 and ART5 for specialized vehicle requirements. Climart serves both OEM (original equipment manufacturers including Ford, ISUZU, Karsan) and aftermarket customers.
