ALES PRES

What ALES PRES does

ALES PRES Makine Ltd. Sti. is a privately held Turkish industrial press manufacturer headquartered in Bursa (Nilüfer), operating from a 13,000 m2 ultra-modern factory in the Hasanaga Organized Industrial Zone. The company manufactures mechanical, servo, link drive, knuckle joint, and transfer press systems based on eccentric press technology, with capacities ranging from 63 tons to 2500 tons. Its product portfolio addresses high-tonnage metal forming, stamping, progressive die operations, and transfer line production for automotive manufacturers and tier suppliers, white goods producers (Vestel, Candy Hoover), tire rim manufacturers, and general industrial forging applications. Core technical differentiators include the proprietary Link Motion drive mechanism (which decelerates during die closure to extend die life), integrated servo motor technology for energy-efficient forming, and configurable C-frame and H-frame architectures with bolster tables up to 6.5 meters.

ALES PRES derives revenue primarily from one-time hardware sales of custom-engineered presses, supplemented by after-sales service, warranty and out-of-warranty maintenance, and spare parts supply. Pricing is quote-based and varies materially by tonnage, mechanism, frame configuration, stroke length, and automation integration; no public price list is maintained. The go-to-market model relies on direct enterprise sales with on-site installation and commissioning, supported by an extensive post-sales service network across Europe and lead generation at international trade shows (Fabtech, Euro Blech, Metalloobrabotka, WIN). Key partnerships include Heilbronn (Germany) for high-tonnage technology transfer and Coiltech for coil feeding and automation integration. The company employs approximately 150 staff drawing on four generations of machining heritage dating back to 1974 (originating as EKM Ertugrul Korustan Company), holds ISO 9001/14001/45001 certifications, and claims exports to 100+ countries. Recent customer deliveries include SOME S.A.U. (Spain, 2025), Fenese (2025), SVB Automotive (2024), and Candy Hoover Euroasia (2023), with a German customer accepting a 630-ton press with zero defects.
