What Kromas Machine & Metal Industry Co. Ltd. does

Kromaş Metal ve Makine Sanayi Limited Şirketi (operating as Kromaş Makina) is a Turkish industrial equipment manufacturer founded in 1993 and headquartered in Istanbul with manufacturing operations in Silivri. The company designs, produces, and sells vibratory surface finishing machines (ranging from 2LT to 6,500LT capacity), shot blasting machines (hanging, tumbling, rotary table, steel grid belt, cabinet, and shot peening variants), and a comprehensive line of surface finishing consumables including ceramic and plastic abrasive/polishing media in 0.8-80mm sizes. It also markets AM Solutions post-processing machines (M, S, and C series) for additive manufactured parts, targeting 3D printed metal and plastic component finishing.

The company serves enterprise industrial buyers across at least eight primary verticals: automotive, defense/aerospace, natural stone, jewelry, medical, additive manufacturing, fasteners, and tooling. Its go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales from the Istanbul headquarters, a domestic Turkish dealer network (Bursa, Izmir, Konya), and the global Rösler Group distribution network spanning 87 countries across 5 continents — Kromaş has operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Germany-based Rösler Group since 2014. Revenue derives from hardware sales (machines and consumables) plus professional services including process consulting, maintenance, retrofit modernization of existing shot blasting machines, and spare parts.

Kromaş differentiates through 3,000+ proprietary surface finishing processes (many applied without global alternatives), its registered KROM-X process technology, in-house R&D and test laboratories, multi-ISO certifications (9001, 14001, 45001, 10002) and CE marking, and an AI-powered website assistant (KromAsistan) for machine selection guidance. The company positions itself as Turkey's pioneer in surface finishing and leverages Rösler Group's 60+ years of consumables experience and 8,000+ product varieties to compete globally.
