What Dema Formwork/ Deneyim Makina does

Dema Formwork, operating as Deneyim Makina, is a Turkish industrial manufacturer founded in 2011 and headquartered in Ankara. The company designs and fabricates steel formwork systems, precast moulds, and complementary construction equipment for building, infrastructure, and tunnel projects. Its product portfolio spans wall and column formwork, climbing systems, tunnel formwork (including the proprietary DATFS system developed in-house with TÜBİTAK and KOSGEB R&D support), and custom-engineered moulds. Manufacturing is anchored by a 12,000 m² main factory in Ankara, supplemented by a 2,000 m² branch opened in October 2025.

The company's customer base is international and project-based, serving general contractors and developers across 45 countries on five continents. Reference projects include viaducts for the UK HS2 high-speed rail project with Balfour Beatty Vinci, residential villa developments in Najaf with Gilan Holding, the Lusail Plaza Towers in Qatar with J&P Arabia, and the $1B Jaddat Baghdad mixed-use complex in Iraq. The business model is project-by-project contract manufacturing: revenue is generated from custom-engineered steel formwork supply tied to large-scale infrastructure and real-estate tenders.

Operationally, Dema is differentiated by a substantial certification stack (ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO 3834-2, EN 1090, CE/TÜV), an in-house R&D and design team led by founder Oktay Soysaltürk (23+ years of formwork engineering experience), and a multi-decade cumulative design experience base. The company is privately held with no disclosed external funding rounds and headcount of approximately 60+ as of the most recent reporting.
