Boztaş Makina Sanayi ve Dış Ticaret

What Boztaş Makina Sanayi ve Dış Ticaret does

Boztaş Makina Sanayi ve Dış Ticaret is a Turkish industrial machinery distribution company founded circa 1983-1985 by Bülent Bozkurt and headquartered in Istanbul, with a satellite office in Ostfildern, Germany. The firm operates as the exclusive general representative (mümessil) in Turkey for a portfolio of European machine tool manufacturers, including TIBO (deep-hole drilling), Weiler (precision lathes), Haulick Roos (precision presses), Bihler (multi-slide stamping and forming), FPS (milling), Nill Ritz (marking), and Jungner (tool grinding). Its functional role is that of a high-touch industrial agency: brokering machine sales, coordinating commissioning and training, and providing aftermarket parts and service to the installed base.

The company's commercial model is agency-based distribution, generating revenue through commissions on machine sales, aftermarket parts and service contracts, and project coordination across its principals. It serves industrial buyers in automotive (Ford Otosan, Tofaş, Renault, Mercedes-Benz, Federal-Mogul, Delphi, ZF), defense and aerospace (ASELSAN, ROKETSAN, TAI), white goods and industrial manufacturing (Arçelik, Siemens, Bosch, Şişecam), and commercial vehicles (BMC, MAN, MKE). Headcount is in the 11-50 employee band, consistent with a specialized agency rather than a broad-line distributor.

The firm has institutional ties to the German-Turkish industrial corridor through its founding membership in the German-Turkish Chamber of Commerce and Industry (AHK) since 1994, and it has maintained continuity through the 2016 death of its founder. Public information on post-2016 succession, current management, and recent commercial activity is limited.
