What Kasso Engineering does

Kasso Engineering (legal name: Kasso Mühendislik Sanayi ve Ticaret Anonim Şirketi; founded 1979) is a privately held Turkish architectural metal cladding manufacturer headquartered in the Istanbul Anadolu Yakası Organized Industrial Zone in Tuzla, with approximately 52 employees. The company designs, manufactures, and installs custom metal envelope systems — perforated metal, expanded metal, pattern-cut metal, 3D surfaces, and free-form metal sections — across nine metal material types (carbon steel, aluminum, Cor-Ten steel, stainless steel, titanium zinc, copper, brass, composite aluminum, galvanized steel) and ten-plus surface treatments (powder coating, anodizing, hot-dip galvanizing, super mirror, wood transfer, pre-weathering, etc.). Kasso operates as Turkey's 71st certified Design Center under Law No. 5746 — the first such center in its sector — supporting in-house R&D and design capabilities for project-specific solutions.

The company sells directly to enterprise clients — architects, engineers, design firms, construction companies, and real estate developers — on a project-by-project basis from concept design through installation. Revenue is generated through one-time, quote-based, project-specific contracts for custom metal facades, secondary/double-skin facades, sun screens, dynamic facades, suspended ceilings, walkways, railings, canopies, and column cladding. Notable executed projects include Kuwait International Airport, Doha Metro Network, Makkah Royal Clock Tower, Kigali Arena (Rwanda), Qatar Science and Technology Park, and Meeza Data Center, indicating a global project footprint across Türkiye, MENA, Africa, the Caucasus, and Southern Europe. GTM relies on direct enterprise sales, technical consultation, industry trade fairs, university collaborations, and content marketing; pricing is not publicly disclosed.

The company is independently owned with no external PE/VC backing, no public listing, and no disclosed funding rounds. It maintains a wholly-owned subsidiary (Kasso Dış Tic. Ltd. Şti.) for foreign trade, and is a member of the SAHA Istanbul defense, security, aviation, and space industry cluster. Leadership is centered on General Manager M. Sinan Kılıç. The operating footprint spans Türkiye, Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Rwanda, Georgia, and Italy.
