What Kisan Group does

Kisan Group (Kisan İnşaat Mühendislik Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş.) is a privately held Turkish traffic safety systems manufacturer founded in 1988 and headquartered at the Sakarya 2nd Organized Industrial Zone, with an additional Istanbul branch office. The company designs, produces, and applies an integrated portfolio covering horizontal road marking (Liner® thermoplastic, two-component cold plastic, solvent-based and waterborne paints, plus Reflobead™ glass beads for retroreflectivity), vertical signage (traffic signs meeting roughly 50% of Turkey's demand), steel guardrail systems (TR and KGM series), elastic-type bridge expansion joints, noise barriers, traffic studs and related safety materials, road marking machines, and the KisanJet® high-pressure water jet system for marking removal and runway cleaning. All products are manufactured in-house at the 50,000 m² Sakarya facility (12,000 m² indoor), with stated annual capacities of 25,000 tons of road marking material, 20,000 tons of guardrails, 50,000 m² of traffic signs, and 25,000 tons of glass beads.

The company serves primarily government transportation agencies — the General Directorate of Highways (KGM), regional directorates, and metropolitan municipalities (Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir) — together with large infrastructure contractors (DLSY JV, IC İçtaş, NÖMAYG, ENG İnşaat, Fernas) on flagship projects including the 1915 Çanakkale Bridge, Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge, Osmangazi Bridge, Istanbul Airport, and the TOGG national EV facility. Beyond Turkey, Kisan exports materials and equipment to 16+ countries across the Middle East, Central Asia, Eastern Europe, North Africa, and North America. Revenue is generated through project-based tenders and direct quotations — no public pricing — combining one-time materials/equipment sales with per-square-meter or per-linear-meter application services; the workforce is 400 full-time, rising to roughly 600 during the April–November peak application season. Kisan positions itself as the only Turkish traffic safety firm managing design, production, and implementation entirely in-house, and self-describes as the domestic market leader and a top-five European player.
