What Tatko Lastik does

Tatko Lastik is a 99-year-old Turkish tire industry company headquartered in Kadıköy, Istanbul, operating as a family-owned joint stock company (Tatko Lastik Sanayi Ticaret A.Ş.) under the Yalman family. It runs five integrated business segments: (1) a consumer tire retail division comprising LastikPark (Turkey's largest multi-brand tire chain, ~1,000 sales points across all 81 provinces), HerLastik (200+ stores), LastikVS, and LastikUstam; (2) a commercial tire division anchored by the Fleet Master 360° fleet tire management service, which manages 100,000 tires across 15,000 vehicles for 33 leading logistics fleets on kilometer-based contracts; (3) an off-road tire division (OtrXpert) serving construction and industrial sites with on-site tire services for equipment up to 3 tons; (4) Turkey's oldest and largest tire retreading operation, with facilities in Gebze and İzmir renewing 30,000+ truck tires and 4,000+ construction tires annually; and (5) rubber and consumables distribution to 150+ retreading factories and 3,000+ service points.

The company's core technology stack centers on the Fleet Master digital tire tracking platform for commercial fleet operations, the OtrXpert off-road service package, and the "Derman" AI character (launched 2024) — described as the Turkish tire industry's first AI character — used for consumer communications and tire guidance. Underlying infrastructure includes a 53,000 m² Dilovası logistics center with 1,000,000-tire capacity, plus 20 regional warehouses for nationwide coverage. Tatko distributes Goodyear (exclusive since 1962), Michelin, Continental, BKT, Mitas, Trelleborg, and Prometeon globally, alongside its own Tatko-branded tractor, implement, and industrial tires, and exports to 30+ countries.

The business model combines one-time retail tire sales through a multi-brand dealer network, recurring managed-services contracts with enterprise logistics fleets, professional retreading services, transaction-based B2B distribution of consumables, and export wholesale. Go-to-market is hybrid: channel-partner-led for consumer retail, direct sales for fleet enterprise accounts, and mobile/digital reach into individual truck owners through the Tırport partnership (470,000+ users). Pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by product, quantity, and contract structure. Leadership is anchored by Chairman Kerim Oktay Yalman and CEO Vedat Özçelik (with the company since 1988 and prior Goodyear Turkey experience).
