What Teksan does

Teksan A.Ş. (Teksan Teknolojik Ölçüm Sistemleri) is a privately held Turkish industrial manufacturer founded in 1955 and headquartered in Çekmeköy, Istanbul. The company designs, manufactures, and distributes water meters (cold water, hot water, Woltman, pre-paid, electronic, and ultrasonic families), heat meters (mechanical and ultrasonic), and heat calculators, supported by a proprietary system stack comprising TEKMBUS wired remote reading, TEKRF mobile RF reading, a GPRS modem with the Teksan Cedvel web platform, and the TEKSYS billing/integration software. Teksan is recognized as Turkey's first domestic water meter manufacturer, holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001, MID 2004/22/EC, CE-155, and ISO IEC 17025 laboratory accreditation, and operates as an Authorized Service Provider under Turkey's Heat Meter Inspection Regulation for the mandatory 5-year heat meter inspection cycle.

The company generates revenue through three primary streams: (1) hardware sales of mechanical, electronic, and ultrasonic meters plus system components (TEKMBUS converter, RF modules, GPRS modem, valves) distributed via a nationwide network of 180 authorized dealers in Turkey and direct project sales; (2) bundled system solutions (TEKMBUS, TEKRF, pre-paid water systems) sold to municipalities, site management companies, and large residential/industrial projects; and (3) recurring authorized heat meter inspection and calibration services under Turkish regulation, with volume-tiered pricing ranging from 74.30 TL per meter (0-200 volume tier) down to 29.72 TL per meter (1001+ tier) as of 2020. Internationally, Teksan pursues export growth through participation in major industry fairs (ISH Frankfurt, Wasser Berlin, IFAT Munich, Interbuild Expo Kiev, Aqua Therm Almaty) and supports a multilingual website in Turkish, English, Russian, and Spanish. Leadership is family-concentrated within the Şahin family, with Chairman Bilal Şahin, Vice Chairman Ali Fatih Şahin, and Board Member/Export Manager Kemal Altun, and the company maintains 51-100 employees with no disclosed external funding.

Core offering

Teksan A.Ş. manufactures and sells mechanical, electronic, and ultrasonic water and heat meters, Woltman meters, and pre-paid (electromagnetic card) water meters, complemented by system products including M-Bus modules, RF wireless modules, GPRS modems, MBUS shut-off valves, and pulse output cables. The company also offers integrated system solutions (TEKMBUS wired remote reading, TEKRF mobile RF reading, and Pre-Paid System) unified by the proprietary TEKSYS billing and reading software, and provides authorized heat meter inspection and calibration services under Turkey's regulated 5-year periodic inspection scheme.

Product overview

Teksan operates as a single-vendor manufacturer of water and heat metering solutions rather than a software platform-plus-modules architecture. Its portfolio is organised into seven hardware product categories — Cold Water Meters (including multi-jet dry/wet/glycerin models like TR, TR DN50, CH, DE, DG, DK, DY, GD, GM, GP, single-jet GT, volumetric TH, plus CM and BR), Hot Water Meters (TR, GM, GT variants), Electronic Water Meters (DIGISENS pulse-output flow sensor, US ultrasonic, GE electronic), Heat Meters (HM mechanical, UH ultrasonic, HC heat calculator), Woltman Water Meters (WS, AWS for cold, WH for hot), Pre-Paid Water Meters (TV, TV-RF, GV cold/hot variants), and System Products/Modules (TEK MBUS Module, TEK MBUS Converter, TEK MBUS WS Impulse Adaptor, Vanalı MBUS shut-off valve, TEK RF Module, TEK RF Receiver/TEKWALKER, TEK RF WS Module, GPRS Modem, Pulse Output Cable, and GT Internal M-Bus modules). On top of these, Teksan offers three bundled System Solutions — TEKMBUS wired remote reading (up to 250 meters via the TEK MBUS Converter), TEKRF mobile RF reading (via TEKWALKER) and a Pre-Paid System — all unified by the proprietary TEKSYS billing and reading software that integrates readings from the modules for invoicing and consumption analytics.
