KILIC

What KILIC does

KILIC GmbH (legal entity: Kilic GmbH, HRB 22106, Wuppertal) is a family-owned German aluminum processor founded in 1994 and headquartered in Heiligenhaus. The company describes itself as a pioneer in Kokillenguss (permanent mold casting) and positions as one of Germany's market leaders in that segment. It operates a vertically integrated aluminum processing chain under one roof covering gravity die casting (Kokillenguss), sand casting, CNC turning/milling (3- to 5-axis), precision stamping, in-house tool and die making, profile processing, subassembly, and surface treatment services — including standard anodizing (Eloxieren), hard anodizing (Harteloxieren) up to 500 HV and 70-micrometer layer thickness, pickling, polishing, and coating.

The product portfolio spans two layers. Core catalog products include door hardware (Beschläge & Türdrücker), furniture fittings (Möbelbeschläge Alu-Griff series 1201-1240), aluminum hinges, and miscellaneous custom solutions. Newer 2024 lines include antibacterial door hardware (Hygiene-Türdrücker 375 with SANPURE nanosilver coating, 99.9% virus reduction in 8 hours, 20-year effectiveness), aluminum cable ducts (Aluminium Kabelkanal) with adjustable lengths up to 6 meters, customizable phone/tablet holders (MOQ 100 units), and the Sorex Flex Bluetooth door handle with fingerprint and mobile-app access management. Processing services are also sold standalone to other industrial customers.

The business model is custom B2B industrial with quote-based pricing, primarily multi-year enterprise contracts on the manufacturing side and quote-based one-off pricing on surface treatment jobs. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales (web/phone/email inquiry) with a structured NE-Halbzeughändler dealer program for non-ferrous metal dealers. Primary customer verticals are industrial manufacturing, furniture (including bathroom), electrical/electronics, healthcare/public facilities (newest), and non-ferrous metal dealers. The company employs 11-50 staff, has no disclosed parent, no external investors, and is represented in the commercial register by Tuncay Kilic; management includes Sunay Tuncay Kilic (CEO), Neslihan Kilic (Prokuristin), and Tugba Kilic (sales/purchasing). All operations are based at Untere Industriestr. 28a, 42579 Heiligenhaus, Germany.
