What KABEL A.S. does
KABEL A.Ş. (legal name: KABEL Kablo Elemanları San. ve Tic. A.Ş.) is a Turkish contract manufacturer of cable harnesses and related industrial components, operating as the cable-harness subsidiary of ENDEL Industrial Products Group, part of the diversified ENDEL Group of Companies founded in 1927. KABEL was established in 1978 with the founding of the Bekel Eskişehir Cable plant and has since expanded to include the Kabel Gebze plant (1989), the Kabel Ankara plant (1993, also Turkey's first dishwasher basket manufacturer), the Bekel Eskişehir Condenser plant (1997), and the Endel Manisa plant (2007), totaling eight production facilities and 1,500+ employees across Eskişehir, Gebze/Kocaeli, Ankara, and Manisa.
The company's core product lines are (i) cable harness assemblies for appliance, HVAC, automotive, commercial vehicles, and construction machinery, produced using fully automatic IDC (Insulation Displacement Contact) connector processing with 100% in-line testing; (ii) Bekel wire-on-tube condensers for refrigerator cooling applications; (iii) dishwasher baskets and accessories produced via integrated wire welding, bending, and polyamide coating; and (iv) Bekel 3D tube and pipe forming from 8mm to 220mm diameter for automotive and railway applications. Manufacturing is supported by in-house R&D for custom testing lines, crimp laboratories in every plant, 3D computer modeling, and a full quality certification stack (ISO 9001:2015, IATF 16949:2016, ISO/TS 22163:2017 / IRIS, ISO 14001:2015, ISO 45001:2018).
KABEL operates as a B2B tier-1 / tier-2 supplier to major OEMs including Arçelik Group, BSH (Bosch und Siemens Hausgeräte), and Bosch Turkey, generating revenue via hardware sales under negotiated, quote-based enterprise contracts. Distribution is direct to customer manufacturing facilities, with plants strategically located near OEM clusters to enable just-in-time delivery. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales supplemented by participation in major trade shows (Electronica, IFA, Hannover Messe, Chillventa, Innotrans, Eurasia Rail, IAA Commercial Vehicles), customer audits, and referral-driven expansion into adjacent verticals such as automotive and railway. Export revenue exceeded USD 10 million according to the 2019 Turkish Electro Technology Export Honour List, indicating established cross-border OEM supply into European and EMEA markets.
