What Polimer Teknik does

Polimer Teknik is a privately held Turkish industrial machinery manufacturer, founded in 2007 in Bursa's Çalı Industrial Zone, that designs, produces, and services the poex line of co-rotating twin screw extruders and compounding equipment. Its core product is a modular extruder series spanning laboratory (T16/T27) through industrial (T110) configurations, complemented by an auxiliary equipment portfolio — granulators, vibrating screens, screen changers, gear pumps, dosing systems, Siemens S7-300-controlled automation, raw material handling, strand dryers, and belt conveyors — plus proprietary spare parts (screw elements, barrels, shafts). The company holds ISO 9001/14001/45001, EUROMAP, ATEX, and CE certifications, and was Turkey's first manufacturer of co-rotating twin screw extruders.

Polimer Teknik operates a direct enterprise field-sales model, quoting custom-configured machinery to compounders and plastics processors across 15+ application areas — including engineering plastics, masterbatch (color/additive and high-filled), thermoplastic elastomers, biopolymers, halogen-free flame-retardant compounds, recycling, powder coatings, food, pharmaceutical, and hot-melt adhesive extrusion. Pre-sale formulation trials and machine-configuration consulting in the on-site R&D center de-risk customer purchases. The company maintains regional sales coverage in 10 countries (notably Turkey, Russia, CIS, Iran, Pakistan, Egypt, and parts of the EU), supported by branch offices in Istanbul (2019) and Moscow (2019). Pricing is quote-based and unspecified publicly, with a multi-year contract cadence typical of industrial equipment sales.

Revenue combines one-time equipment sales, multi-year turnkey project contracts (e.g., the 330+ million ruble NPP Polyplastic TPE line for delivery H1 2025), and after-sales services (installation, commissioning, training, modernization, and spare parts). The company transitioned to a Joint Stock Company (Anonim Şirketi) in 2024, adopted SAP ERP in 2022, and has cumulative production of 140 extruders supporting an installed base executing roughly 500 process starts annually. Trade-show presence (K Fair, Plast Eurasia, Interplastica, Compounding World Expo) and a customer magazine (poexpress) anchor the go-to-market.

Core offering

Polimer Teknik manufactures and sells co-rotating twin screw extruders and auxiliary compounding equipment under the poex brand for polymer processing applications. Core offerings include the poex T series extruders (T16 to T110), granulators, vibrating screens, hydraulic screen changers, gear pumps, dosing systems, control systems, raw material handling systems, strand dryers, strand belt conveyors, and spare parts (screw elements, barrels, shafts). The company also provides turnkey project engineering, design and automation services, installation, commissioning, and training.

Product overview

Polimer Teknik is Turkey's first manufacturer of co-rotating twin screw extruders, offering a comprehensive portfolio of compounding machinery. The core product line is the poex T series extruders (T16 through T110), which are complemented by the G series granulators and E series vibrating screens for downstream processing. The company also provides an ecosystem of auxiliary equipment including screen changers, gear pumps, dosing systems, control systems, raw material handling systems, strand dryers, and strand belt conveyors. All equipment is sold under the poex brand. Spare parts (screw elements, barrels, shafts) are available alongside services for design, automation, turnkey projects, and modernization. The company operates as a single unified product brand portfolio rather than a platform-plus-modules architecture.

• Xplore Instruments: Dutch manufacturer of lab- and pilot-scale co-rotating twin screw extruders (up to T16-T27 class). Comparable to Polimer Teknik's smallest poex T16/T27 lab models; competing in R&D and small-batch compounding rather than industrial-scale production.

Broad incumbents

• Bühler Group: Swiss global incumbent serving food, feed, and advanced materials processing with twin screw extruder technology. Broader-portfolio player with overlapping compounding-equipment capability; not a direct specialization in polymer compounding.
• Thermo Fisher Scientific (Extrusion/Haake): Global scientific instrumentation conglomerate whose Haake / Process Instruments division has historically served polymer extrusion and rheology applications. Broad incumbent with overlapping but not core focus on compounding extruders.
