(MESA Manufacturing) is a Turkish industrial manufacturer of construction formwork, scaffolding, and specialized engineering systems, headquartered in Ankara and founded in 1978 as part of the MESA Şirketler Grubu conglomerate. The company operates one of Europe's largest steel formwork production facilities — 30,000 sqm indoor and 105,000 sqm outdoor — with annual capacity of 200,000 sqm steel formwork, 300,000 sqm wood-faced formwork, and 1,000,000 cubic meters of scaffolding and slab formwork, certified to ISO 9001. Its product range covers tunnel formwork (MKTF, ERTF, TRTF), wall and column formwork, slab systems, cup-lock and facade scaffolding, safety nets, climbing platforms (VCR/HCP/WRP), wind shields, TBM segment and slab track moulds, NATM travelling tunnel formwork, railway sleeper moulds, and steel structures.

The company sells primarily through direct enterprise field sales out of Ankara to construction contractors, infrastructure developers and government projects, precast concrete producers, and tunnel boring machine operators across an addressable market of more than 70 countries on six continents. Pricing is quote-based on custom-engineered equipment with multi-year project contracts, supplemented by engineering planning, training and certification, after-sales service, logistics, and product development services. Manufacturing relies on CNC machines, robotic welding, and Total Station coordinate measurement for quality control, and all steel components receive hot-dip galvanization for durability. Revenue, ownership details within the parent group, and customer-level data are not publicly disclosed.
