Seterm Teknik

What Seterm Teknik does

Seterm Teknik is an İzmir, Turkey-based industrial equipment distributor and engineering services company founded in 2004. The company acts as the authorized Turkish representative for more than 20 international industrial equipment manufacturers, including Alfa Laval, Klaus Union, De Dietrich Process Systems, Richter Chemie, ARO, Feluwa Pumpen, Düchting Pumpen, Egger, Viking Pump, SGL Carbon, and UHDE HPT (Thyssenkrupp). Its product portfolio spans centrifugal pumps (including API 610 compliant models), diaphragm pumps, twin screw and rotary lobe pumps, magnetic drive sealless pumps, gear pumps, slurry and mining pumps, and dosing pumps; plate, spiral, graphite, and glass heat exchangers; glass-lined reactors, distillation columns, rotary evaporators, and agitated filter-dryers; plus industrial valves and PTFE/PFA-lined piping. The company pairs equipment distribution with engineering services — project design, 3D CAD drawings, API 610 pump retrofits, turnkey skid manufacturing, and laser coupling alignment — and a full aftermarket stack including commissioning, maintenance, troubleshooting, training, and stocked spare parts supply. Proprietary capabilities include Safeglide dry-running magnetic drive pumps (via Richter Chemie) and SICcast silicon carbide epoxy casting for abrasive slurry applications (via Düchting Pumpen and SICcast).

The business model combines hardware distribution (imported equipment sold with local engineering integration) and professional services (engineering design, commissioning, maintenance). Revenue is generated through project-based quotations to enterprise industrial customers across seven verticals: energy, refining & fuel, chemistry & petrochemicals, mining & minerals, food & beverage, environment, and iron & steel. Customer engagement is consultative and engineering-led, combining direct application engineering, trade fair participation (MINEX, TURKCHEM, Chem Show Eurasia, Mining Turkey), and the company website as a catalog and lead-generation channel. Headcount is reported at 11–50 employees, with founder Selahattin Aydın serving as Managing Director. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.

Seterm Teknik is currently executing a strategic shift from pure distribution toward local manufacturing through a joint venture with Klaus Union International GmbH — Klaus Union Makine San. ve Tic. A.Ş. — with a planned centrifugal pump factory in Kemalpaşa, İzmir announced in July 2024. This move deepens the company's relationship with its largest brand partner and creates a path to value-added local production under international quality standards.
