ARI MÜHENDİSLİK / ARI ENGINEERING

What ARI MÜHENDİSLİK / ARI ENGINEERING does

Arı Mühendislik is a privately held Turkish engineering services and construction-technology distribution firm headquartered in Bostancı, Istanbul, founded in 1997 by Sedat Ariman and operating as a Limited Şirketi (LLC) with approximately 9 employees. The company operates across three integrated business areas: building energy efficiency and insulation, environmental technologies, and construction. Its core technological assets are exclusive Turkish agency and distribution rights for the Thermomass Building System — an insulated precast double-wall technology with fiber composite connectors originated by Composite Technologies Corporation in the USA in 1980 — and for TenCate's Geotüp (geotextile tube) systems used in sludge dewatering and coastal protection. Beyond these agency franchises, Arı markets a broader catalog of insulation materials (XPS, EPS, rock wool, including Dow Styrofoam, Ravaber, and BLUE's branded systems co-developed with Dow Chemical, Kalekim, and Mardav) and waterproofing products (Stoper, Bitümex polymer-bituminous membranes, Egger OSB).

The firm generates revenue through three channels: product sales (custom-quoted hardware and materials specified per project), consulting services (energy performance assessment, thermal-camera analysis, EKB documentation), and application/installation services (the company itself installs the products it sells). Customers are B2B and span construction firms and developers (Bademli Villa, Yenişehir Evleri, Altuğ Villası, Acarkent), industrial operators (Banvit, Gebze Plastic Organized Industrial Zone, GOTEC), healthcare facilities (Bursa Alzheimer Hospital), and tourism and municipal buyers for coastal protection. Pricing is project-based with no public lists, and go-to-market is sales-led via direct engagement, the company website, and technical presentations at professional bodies such as the Chamber of Civil Engineers (İMO).

Arı operates exclusively within Turkey, with documented project execution in Istanbul, Bursa, Ankara, Izmir, and Kocaeli, and reports no external investors, parent company, funding rounds, or M&A activity. Ownership and strategic direction remain concentrated in founder Sedat Ariman, and the business functions as a stable specialty engineering and product representation firm rather than a scaling technology platform.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Knauf Insulation: Major insulation manufacturer (rock wool, EPS, XPS) supplying the same thermal-insulation category Arı distributes. Knauf is the broad incumbent whose product portfolio most directly competes with Arı's DOW/Mardav/Ravaber line-up in Turkish building-envelope projects.
• ROCKWOOL International: Global leader in stone wool insulation for thermal, acoustic and fire protection — directly comparable to Arı's Ravaber and ROCK Manto product lines and to the fire/thermal performance story underpinning the Thermomass system.
• Dow Building Solutions: Producer of STYROFOAM/XPS insulation boards and the larger partner behind Arı's Mavikale and Promanto facade systems. Comparable as a technology owner whose product Arı re-sells, applies and integrates into Turkish building-envelope projects.
• Saint-Gobain Weber: Global construction-products group offering external thermal insulation composite systems (ETICS), mortars and waterproofing membranes across the same building-envelope and energy-efficiency applications Arı addresses with Mavikale, Promanto, STYROFOAM and Stoper.

Direct peers

• TenCate Geosynthetics: Manufacturer of TenCate Geotube geotextile tubes used by Arı for sludge dewatering and coastal protection. As the principal supplier whose product Arı distributes and applies, TenCate is a direct upstream technology peer in Arı's environmental-technology pillar.
• İzocam: Leading Turkish manufacturer of glass wool, rock wool, EPS and XPS insulation products. As the most established domestic insulation competitor, İzocam is the closest Turkish in-market peer competing head-to-head with Arı's thermal-insulation portfolio.
• Baumit: European façade and ETICS system provider offering external-insulation, render and waterproofing solutions overlapping Arı's facade-insulation and waterproofing applications (Mavikale, Promanto, EPS Manto, Stoper) for energy-efficient buildings.
• IVANKA: Hungarian manufacturer of insulated precast sandwich wall and façade panels — the European peer most architecturally comparable to the Thermomass double-wall system Arı integrates, useful as a comparable for the structural insulated-panel category.
• Composite Technologies Corporation (Thermomass): Original US developer and trademark holder of the Thermomass Building System (insulated precast double-wall with fiber-composite connectors). Arı Mühendislik is its authorized Turkish representative, making CTC the closest upstream technology peer and natural benchmark for the insulated double-wall category.
• Soprema: Specialist waterproofing-membrane manufacturer whose APP/SBS-modified bituminous products (e.g., Sopralene, Elastophene) are direct functional substitutes for the Stoper/Bitumex membranes Arı distributes for roof and terrace waterproofing in Turkish projects.
