What Ziligen A.S. does
Ziligen A.S. is a Turkish industrial manufacturer of PVC- and PU-coated conveyor belts and flat power transmission belts, founded in 1967 in Istanbul by Berç T. Arhanyan and recognized as Turkey's oldest belt producer. The company's operations are split between a Sarıyer, Istanbul headquarters and a modern Sakarya factory, where it operates two coating lines — PVC up to 2200 mm and PU up to 3000 mm — supported by in-house rubber compound production. Capacity has been progressively expanded through investment in two additional lamination ovens.
The company sells into a broad set of industrial end-markets including marble, textile, food, automotive, tobacco, tea, detergent, logistics, packaging, and paper, and is certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001, enabling participation in procurement-gated verticals such as food and automotive. Ziligen distributes through a hybrid model: dealerships and direct sales cover all 81 Turkish provinces with 24-hour service, while a network of international distributors reaches more than 40 countries across five continents. With 31 employees, Ziligen operates as a small, privately held specialty manufacturer rather than a scale player.
