Ermak

What Ermak does

Ermak A.Ş. is a privately held Turkish precision sheet metal manufacturer founded in 1965 in Bolu, operating from a 16,000 m² open and 6,400 m² covered single-site facility with a workforce of 130+ employees. Originally established as a motor repair and coil-winding shop, the company reincorporated as a joint-stock company in 1984 under the name Ermak Makine San. Tic. A.Ş. and progressively pivoted into large-scale sheet metal forming, welding, assembly, and surface finishing. Its core production line comprises 41 press machines (100–800 ton eccentric and 150–600 ton hydraulic) supported by argon/TIG welding, spot welding, laser cutting, abkant bending, polishing, and assembly operations, processing approximately 12,000 tons of raw sheet metal per year (including 2,500 tons of stainless steel and 9,500 tons of galvanized, DKP, and Alusi materials) and producing 3,000,000 assemblies, 1,500,000 welds, and 300,000 laser-cut/bent parts annually.

Ermak sells exclusively through a direct B2B model to enterprise OEMs in white goods (Arçelik, Beko, Vinola, Ukinox), automotive components (Beycelik, Lindeopsan), and defense, with no consumer-facing or distribution channel. Customer-relationship longevity is a defining feature: the company has supplied Arçelik’s Cooker Appliances division since the 1980s, and historical relationships extend to Baykan Kombi, LG Klima, and Ingersoll Rand. Revenue is generated through quote-based, specification-driven contracts with no public pricing, and the company holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, and a Turkish Zero Waste Certificate, alongside a documented Conflict Minerals Policy and 2030 emissions targets (Scope-1: 45 tCO2e; Scope-2: 280 tCO2e; TEP down to 74.3 in 2024 from 94.392 in 2023).

The business model is a tier-1/tier-2 industrial contract manufacturer: long-cycle OEM supply, vertically integrated forming-to-assembly, domestic Turkish footprint, and compliance-driven market access. Commercial and geographic scope remain concentrated in Anatolia, with no disclosed exports, M&A, or external funding events in the data set.
