What Hatgrup does

Hatgrup, legally Hat Sınai ve Tıbbi Gazlar A.Ş., is a privately held Turkish industrial company founded in 1980 and headquartered in İzmit, Kocaeli. It operates three business lines: MRI service (liquid helium and nitrogen filling, magnet cooling, and level monitoring for hospital MRI systems), specialty gases (high-purity gases at 99.999% and 99.9999% purity, calibration gas mixtures, and cryogenic and pressure-regulator equipment), and centralized lubrication systems (distribution and technical support for GRACO, ALWAYSE, OPCO, TRICO, and ILC product lines). The company's specialty gas operations are conducted under a TÜRKAK-accredited ISO/IEC 17025 calibration laboratory and the HATGAZ registered trademark, with proprietary hydrogen and oxygen production capability (99.9999% purity) commissioned at the Arslanbey Organized Industrial Zone in 2023.

The technology stack centers on physical industrial processes rather than software: cryogenic gas handling and filling for MRI magnets, gas purification and mixture preparation in an accredited laboratory, and distribution/integration of mechanical and electro-mechanical lubrication hardware (pumps, progressive and injector dispensers, controllers, conveyor cleaning, and ball transfer units). Hatgrup is the Turkey representative for GRACO lubrication systems, a relationship dating to 1995, and holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certifications through 2026. Operations run from a head office in İzmit, two production sites in Kartepe, and a sales branch in Ankara.

The business model is B2B industrial sales and services with quote-based pricing. Revenue streams combine recurring service revenue (MRI cryogenic fills, level monitoring, lubrication system technical support) and one-time hardware and consumables sales (gas cylinders, cryogenic tanks, regulators, lubrication pumps and dispensers, ball transfer units). Customer segments are horizontal across healthcare facilities with MRI systems, industrial gas buyers (laboratories, energy/pipeline operators), and manufacturing companies requiring automated lubrication. Distribution is direct through company offices; geographic scope is domestic Turkey only, with no disclosed exports or international operations.

Core offering

Hatgrup manufactures and supplies specialty and calibration gases under the HATGAZ trademark from its ISO 17025 accredited laboratory, including high-purity gases (99.999–99.9999%) and a dedicated hydrogen and oxygen production facility. It provides MRI cryogenic services — liquid helium and nitrogen filling, magnet cooling and level monitoring — to hospitals and imaging centers. It distributes and integrates centralized lubrication systems (GRACO, ALWAYSE, OPCO, TRICO, ILC), including pumps, dispensers, timers and conveyor lubrication equipment for industrial manufacturers.

Product overview

Hatgrup operates as a diversified industrial technology company with three main product lines: MRI Service (medical imaging equipment maintenance), Specialty Gases (high-purity industrial and calibration gases), and Centralized Lubrication Systems. The MRI Service offers liquid helium and nitrogen filling, magnet cooling, and level monitoring for MRI systems. Specialty Gases include high-purity gases (99.999-99.9999% purity), ISO 17025 accredited calibration gases, cryogenic equipment, and gas production systems, produced under the HATGAZ trademark. The Centralized Lubrication portfolio encompasses GRACO products (pumps, progressive/injector distributors, timers, accessories), OPCO conveyor systems (chain oilers, wheel greasers, cleaners, monitoring), TRICO products (single point lubricators, constant level systems, spray cooling), ILC systems (grease, liquid, spray lubrication), and ALWAYSE ball transfer units (Euro, Heavy Duty, Hevi-Load, Hi-Tech series). The company serves industrial, medical, and manufacturing sectors primarily in Turkey.

Broad incumbents

• Air Liquide: World leader in industrial and medical gases, including specialty gas mixtures and high-purity gases used in healthcare and electronics. Competes with Hatgrup's specialty gases and MRI cryogenic service lines in Turkey while also serving Turkey's industrial gas market with full bulk and on-site supply capability.
• Messer Group: Fourth-largest industrial gas company worldwide, active in specialty gases, medical gases and calibration gas mixtures across Europe, the Americas and Asia. Comparable to Hatgrup on high-purity gases and accredited calibration mixtures, but with much larger production infrastructure and geographic reach.
• GRACO Inc. US-headquartered global manufacturer of fluid handling equipment including centralized lubrication pumps, dispensers and accessories. Both Hatgrup's exclusive Turkey distributorship and the GRACO product portfolio they sell make this company the principal/partner peer for the largest line of Hatgrup's lubrication segment.
• Linde plc: Global industrial and medical gas major producing atmospheric, hydrogen, helium and specialty gases plus on-site supply. Operates in Turkey and competes with Hatgrup's specialty gases, MRI helium service and high-purity gas offerings, though at vastly larger scale across a much broader product portfolio.
• Air Products and Chemicals: Global industrial gas and hydrogen producer serving electronics, healthcare, refining and energy markets. Comparable to Hatgrup on specialty/high-purity gases and hydrogen production, though Air Products operates megascale hydrogen and on-site plants globally rather than a niche Turkish specialty/lab scale.
• SKF Lubrication Systems: Division of SKF supplying automatic lubrication systems, lubricators and condition-monitoring products to industrial manufacturers. Comparable to Hatgrup's centralized lubrication distribution in Turkey but operating globally as the OEM, with broader bearing and condition-monitoring adjacencies.
• Air Water Inc. Japanese diversified industrial gas group producing oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, argon and specialty gases plus medical and cryogenic services. Compares to Hatgrup on hydrogen/oxygen production, specialty gas mixtures and cryogenic infrastructure, though with very different geographic focus and broader end-market exposure.

Direct peers

• Lincoln Industrial (Centralized Lubrication): Manufacturer of automated lubrication systems, pumps and accessories for industrial and mobile equipment under the Lincoln and SKF Lincoln brands. Comparable to Hatgrup's GRACO-led centralized lubrication distribution and service line in Turkey, but as the OEM/principal rather than a regional distributor.
• HABAŞ (Turkish industrial gas producer): Turkish industrial gas group producing oxygen, nitrogen, argon, hydrogen, helium and specialty gases for healthcare, metallurgy and energy customers domestically. Closest geographic and product category competitor to Hatgrup's Turkish specialty gases and MRI helium service business, sharing the same accreditation-led B2B market.
• Bijur Delimon International: Global supplier of centralized lubrication systems, single-point and multi-point lubricators, and grease pumps for industrial machinery and conveyor applications. Closely comparable to Hatgrup's lubrication portfolio (alongside GRACO, TRICO, ILC and OPCO) in product scope and target customers, though they sell directly through regional partners rather than via a Turkish distributor model.
