INKA

What INKA does

INKA is a Turkish manufacturer of structural connection and fixing elements for the construction industry, founded in 1986 in Tuzla, Istanbul, and operating as a privately held, founder-led company under General Manager Haluk Arıcan. The company produces a broad portfolio of engineered metal hardware spanning installation systems, modular support profiles (G/C/L/U), ventilation duct components, anchors and fasteners, grooved fittings and couplings, PAM Global pig piping, Industrial Support Systems (PSS) including pipe clamps, spring hangers, constant hangers, sway struts and snubbers, plus automotive and solar mounting products. Core technology centers on sheet metal processing at a rated capacity of 4,000 tonnes per month, with proprietary zinc-magnesium coating for corrosion resistance and an integrated ERP-based production framework installed in 2004.

INKA sells almost exclusively B2B via project-based direct sales to construction companies, engineering contractors, industrial operators, and project developers; pricing is quote-based and tied to project specifications rather than published list pricing. The company holds an extensive international certification stack (ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 13485, FM, UL, MPA, GOST, TSEK, OHSAS 18001), which is a precondition for specification on most regulated construction tenders. Approximately 70% of production is exported to more than 40 countries, with a wholly-owned North American subsidiary (Inka Industrial Supply Inc., Toronto) supporting the Americas, and landmark reference projects including the 1915 Çanakkale Bridge, Atatürk Cultural Center, Istanbul Airport, Cairo Metro, NEOM, the TOGG EV factory, and the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant. Marketing is conducted primarily through international trade shows (AHREXPO Mexico 2025, MCEE Expo Montreal 2025) and downloadable technical catalogs and Declarations of Performance.
