Tezmaksan Empowers SMEs with Tailored Automation Solutions to Boost Competitiveness

Tezmaksan Group CEO Hakan Aydoğdu emphasized that SMEs, which account for 72% of employment, 50% of production, and 32% of exports in Türkiye, require specialized solutions for digitalization and automation. He highlighted the need to develop automation solutions suited to the "low-volume, high-mix" production model for SMEs. Aydoğdu pointed out that innovative products like CubeBOX and Kapasitematik not only enhance production efficiency for SMEs but also facilitate a smooth and rapid transition to Industry 4.0.

Tezmaksan Supports SMEs’ Digital Transformation with Domestic and National Solutions

As a pioneer in the machining industry, Tezmaksan stands out for offering domestic and national solutions for the digital transformation of SMEs. Tezmaksan Group CEO Hakan Aydoğdu emphasized that SMEs, which account for 72% of employment, 50% of production, and 32% of exports in Türkiye, require specialized solutions for digitalization and automation. He stated that Tezmaksan is one of the largest companies in Türkiye and among the top two in Europe in the machine tools sector, offering sales, service, robotic automation, leasing, and e-commerce solutions.

"We have developed automation solutions tailored for SMEs following the ‘low-volume, high-mix’ production model. With CubeBOX and Kapasitematik, we facilitate automation adoption for small-scale manufacturers. CubeBOX is compatible with all CNC machines and enables 24/7 operator-free, error-free operation, boosting efficiency by 50% during night shifts. Meanwhile, Kapasitematik monitors machines and operators 24/7, enhancing operational efficiency and leading the way in Industry 4.0 adaptation," Aydoğdu explained.

"The Shift from Traditional to Digital is Changing Career Preferences"

Highlighting the shift in job preferences among younger generations, Aydoğdu stated, "Young people are no longer interested in traditional, physically demanding jobs. Instead, they prefer technology-driven roles where they can apply their intellectual skills. While finding CNC operators or welders is becoming increasingly difficult, interest in robotic automation is growing. The younger generation wants to program and manage these systems. Therefore, automation is no longer a choice but a necessity for individuals and businesses alike."

"Industry 4.0-Compliant Sivas Factory Aims for €100 Million Revenue"

Aydoğdu also discussed Tezmaksan’s next-generation production facility in Sivas, built in accordance with the European Green Deal and environmental sustainability principles. He stated, "Our factory utilizes lean manufacturing techniques and industrial robots for production. With a total investment of €15 million and a construction cost of TRY 37.5 million, the facility also serves as a hub for Türkiye’s workforce in automation and quantum computing. Sivas offers logistical advantages and strong academic support, enhancing the success of this investment. Moreover, with the revitalization of the Silk Road, Sivas has become a key logistics center on the trade route from China to Europe."

"Exporting to 34 Countries with a 300% Growth Target"

Aydoğdu highlighted Tezmaksan’s steady capacity expansion and global platforms like parkurda.com, which shape the future of Turkish industry. Discussing the company’s global growth plans, he noted: "Automation and digitalization, which facilitate SMEs’ adaptation, are no longer optional but essential. The future of the industry will be based on AI-driven and big data-based systems. By 2026, with the integration of 5G technology, fully automated systems that minimize human error in production lines will become widespread."
