Rototech

What Rototech does

Rototech is a privately held Turkish industrial manufacturer founded in 2001, headquartered in Şişli, Istanbul, operating as Rototech Makina San ve Dış Ticaret Ltd. Şti. The company designs and produces mechanical sealing heads — specifically rotary joints, swivel joints, and multiport joints — that enable the transfer of water, air, hydraulic oil, steam, hot oil, coolant, and chemical fluids between stationary supply lines and rotating cylinders in industrial machinery. Manufacturing is conducted entirely in Turkey using CNC machinery, CAD-based design, and proprietary mounting and test equipment, with a product range spanning standardized catalog series (with pressure ratings up to 300 bar, temperatures up to 350°C, and rotor sizes from DN08 to DN150) and fully custom-engineered units for specific customer applications.

The company's go-to-market is sales-led and direct, centered on quote-based pricing, sales engineering engagement, WhatsApp-based customer support, and a downloadable technical catalog; it is actively recruiting international distributors and has participated in trade events such as Milan-K (2012) and EMO Hannover (2019). Customer concentration is spread across the Iron & Steel, Automotive, Refining & Energy, Industrial Manufacturing, and Chemical & Pharmaceutical verticals, with named enterprise references including Arçelik, Aselsan, Mondi, Kardemir, Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI), Petkim, TPI, and Erdemir. Revenue is generated through one-time hardware sales with multi-year contract cadences; pricing is not publicly disclosed and requires direct contact.

Rototech holds the registered ROTOTECH trademark and ISO 9001 quality certification, operates with 11–50 employees, and reports 100% domestic production exported worldwide. The business is founder-owned with no disclosed institutional investment, no management team listed in the data, no M&A activity, and no funding rounds — consistent with a bootstrapped, niche industrial component manufacturer pursuing incremental international channel expansion rather than venture-scale growth.

Core offering

Rototech manufactures mechanical sealing heads — rotary joints, swivel joints, and multiport joints — that transfer water, air, hydraulic oil, steam, hot oil, coolant, and chemical fluids between stationary sources and rotating cylinders in industrial machinery. The portfolio spans standard catalog models and custom-engineered units sized and rated for specific processes in steel making, automotive assembly, refineries, machine tools, and other rotating-equipment applications.

Product overview

Rototech manufactures a complete portfolio of mechanical fluid transfer and sealing solutions for rotating machinery. The core offerings consist of Rotary Joints (standard models for various media types), Swivel Joints (multiple series including B, BS, E1-E9, F090, F0180 for different connection types and flow angles), and Multiport Joints (complex multi-port configurations). The product line spans standard catalog models with defined specifications (pressures up to 300 bar, temperatures up to 350°C, rotor sizes from DN08 to DN150) as well as fully custom products engineered for specific industries including steel making, automotive, refining, and general manufacturing. All products are 100% domestically manufactured in Turkey and exported worldwide.

Products and services

• Rotary Joints Mechanical sealing components for transferring fluids (water, steam, hot oil, coolant, hydraulic oil, chemical fluids) from stationary sources into rotating cylinders of industrial machinery used for heating and cooling applications. Target customers are industrial process manufacturers in steel making, automotive, refining, packaging, aerospace, defense, and general manufacturing.
• Swivel Joints Devices that transfer fluid under pressure or vacuum from a stationary inlet to a rotating outlet while preserving and isolating the fluid connection. Offered in multiple series (B, BS, E1-KK, E2-FF, E3-EE, E4-DD, E5-ED, E6-SAE, E7-ED90, E8-DD90, E9-D90D90, F090-T, F0180-T) for water, hydraulic oil, grease, and chemical fluids; specific variants include the F0180-T (180-degree single flow, stainless steel, up to 300 bar, 120°C) and F090-T (90-degree single flow, carbon steel).
• Multiport Joints Multi-port joints for complex fluid transfer requirements in industrial applications, including hydraulic and grease lubrication systems, sheet metal and plate winding machines, and any rotating equipment requiring multiple simultaneous fluid connections through a single rotating interface.
• Custom Products & Special Industry Solutions Custom-engineered rotary joints, swivel joints, and multiport joints produced in special sizes and configurations to meet industry-specific working conditions. Covers Steel Making (rolling mill machines), Automotive (assembly line hydraulic distributors), Refining (grease lubrication lines), and Iron & Steel (mandrel machines, continuous casting). Each custom unit is designed against customer specifications for media, pressure, speed, temperature, and dimensional envelope.
