What Timas does

Timaş (TİMAŞ A.Ş.) is a family-owned Turkish building-materials distributor headquartered in Yenimahalle, Ankara, with operating roots traceable to 1928 and the current corporate entity established in 1999. The company distributes sandwich panels, roofing systems, facade cladding, and insulation systems drawn from more than 30 brands across 1,000+ SKUs, operating a 4,000 m² closed warehouse with 15,000 m³ of storage. It holds exclusive Turkish or Ankara distribution rights for international brands including RHEINZINK (zinc roofing/cladding) and GLAPOR GmbH (cellular glass insulation), alongside Onduline and Mychem partnerships, and distributes proprietary lines such as Poncebloc and Kalıcı Yaşam Hatları.

The business serves a diversified customer base spanning construction, education, aviation, energy, livestock, and manufacturing, including roughly a dozen named enterprise accounts alongside mid-market and SMB contractor orders. The commercial model is project- and quote-based distribution, with revenue generated through resale margin on imported and proprietary building-envelope products, supplemented by ecosystem activity through the Timaş Usta Kulübü installer community founded in 2015.

The company is positioned as a multi-brand "Builder Solutions Center" (Yapıcı Çözümler Merkezi), reflecting a deliberate shift from commodity distribution toward solution-oriented supply of premium and specialty building-envelope systems. The company is privately held by the founding family, has 11–50 employees, and reports 175 million TL in annual revenue with a 60 million TL trade volume, 30 million TL equity, and 200 million TL total assets (per the available profile source).

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• BMI Group: One of the largest flat and pitched roofing systems manufacturers globally (formerly Braas Monier + Icopal). Overlaps with Timaş's roofing and waterproofing categories and competes for the same commercial/industrial roofing specifications.
• Rockwool International: Global stone wool insulation manufacturer whose products Timaş itself distributes. Competes at the brand/specification level in Turkey and represents both a supplier relationship and a structural competitor for premium specification wins.
• Owens Corning: Global building materials leader in insulation, roofing, and composite solutions. Overlaps with Timaş's thermal insulation and roofing distribution categories in the broader building envelope market.
• Carlisle Construction Materials: North American/EU roofing and waterproofing systems manufacturer (EPDM, TPO, membranes). Competes with Timaş's waterproofing and single-ply roofing categories in commercial and industrial projects.
• Kingspan Group: Global leader in insulated panels, structural steel, and building envelope solutions. Direct overlap with Timaş's sandwich panel core offering but operates at vastly broader scale and also manufactures rather than only distributing.
• Knauf Insulation: Major global insulation manufacturer (glass wool, stone wool, EPS) with strong presence in Turkey. Competes with the brands Timaş distributes and also sells directly through its own local channels.
• Tata Steel: Major steel manufacturer producing color-coated coils and sandwich panel systems. Competes in the metal roofing/facade segment where Timaş distributes galvanized sheet, metal seam, and sandwich panel products.

Direct peers

• ODE Insulation: Turkish-based manufacturer and distributor of thermal insulation, waterproofing membranes, and building envelope products. Competes head-to-head with Timaş on insulation and waterproofing categories across the Turkish market.
• İzocam: Turkey's leading insulation manufacturer producing glass wool, stone wool, EPS, and XPS — directly overlapping with Timaş's thermal/acoustic insulation portfolio and competing for the same Turkish construction and industrial customers.

Emerging players

• Ravago: European plastics and building products distributor/manufacturer active in Turkey. Comparable distribution model to Timaş and increasingly competing on insulation and roofing materials supply to Turkish contractors.
