What Ertanlar Makina does

Ertanlar Makina is a Turkish industrial manufacturer founded in 1983, specializing in steel pallets and wire mesh containers for industrial logistics and transportation applications. The company operates from a 60,000 m² production campus in Eskişehir (20,000 m² indoor, 40,000 m² outdoor) and produces two main product lines: standard folding and fixed wire containers for general industrial use, and bespoke "special" containers engineered for specific applications such as airbag transport, battery transport, glass transport, motor transport, tire transport, hot-dip galvanizing, and heat treatment. Product features include airbag protection systems, foldable bodies that reduce empty storage space by up to 60%, high-strength steel construction, and modular quick-open/close mechanisms.

The company sells directly to enterprise industrial customers in the automotive, white goods/appliance, heavy industry, and logistics sectors, with named reference customers including Ford, Renault, Stellantis, Nissan, and MAN. Pricing is quote-based and tied to custom specifications, with multi-year contracts implied. Ertanlar generates revenue through one-time product sales of both standard catalog items and custom-engineered containers for specialized industrial applications. The company exports to 100+ countries across Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas, with direct B2B sales as the primary go-to-market motion. In 2025, Ertanlar obtained ISO 14064-1 Corporate Carbon Footprint Certification and an EcoVadis Bronze Medal (top 35% globally), indicating a strategic shift toward sustainability-led positioning in its enterprise supply chain relationships.
