Assan Panel

What Assan Panel does

Assan Panel (Assan Panel A.Ş.) is a Turkish manufacturer of insulated sandwich panels for building envelope, cold storage, and industrial construction applications. Founded in 1990 and headquartered in Tuzla, Istanbul, the company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kibar Holding, a diversified Turkish conglomerate. Operations are coordinated from the Tuzla facility, with a newer production site established in the United Kingdom (AssanPanel UK, operational in 2024). The company produces panels with polyurethane (PUR/PIR) and mineral wool cores across roof, facade, and cold-room configurations, alongside proprietary sub-brands BioCore and SmartCore (insulation technologies), Solar Kepli Panel (integrated solar mounting), Optipanel ECOnomy (value-tier sustainability line), and complementary products (polycarbonate sheets, trapezoidal sheets, fasteners, sealants, insulation materials).

The company's business model is B2B industrial sales: panels are sold through an authorized dealer network (Yetkili Bayiler) within Turkey and internationally, with direct enterprise engagement via the corporate website, product inquiry forms, and dedicated UK operations. Solution bundles — AFG Steel Structures, rooftop solar power plants, modular buildings, quick-installation healthcare facilities, and cold-chain solutions — extend the offering beyond individual panels into project delivery. Revenue is generated primarily from hardware sales, with professional installation/application services bundled through dealers. Reported certifications include ISO 9001, ISCC Plus (the first sandwich-panel manufacturer in Turkey to receive it), TURQUALITY Main Program membership, and UN Global Compact alignment via Kibar Holding.

The company employs 251–500 people, is listed in Istanbul Chamber of Industry's Turkey's Top 500 Industrial Enterprises, and was the first panel-sector brand admitted to the TURQUALITY program (2019). Customer-facing channels include a six-language website (Turkish, English, Arabic, Azerbaijani, French, Russian), product inquiry forms, a BIM visualization library, and a customer-care hotline. Markets served explicitly include Turkey, the United Kingdom, and Jordan, with broader international dealer coverage in the Middle East.
