It all started in 1965, when our founder, Abdülkerim ÖZÇELİK, began his career as an apprentice in a local factory. After 15 years of service in this factory, he decided to venture out on his own as a mobile repairman for carpentry machines. He travelled around and outside Istanbul on his motorcycle only!

His exemplary work paid off when a craftsman suggested that he produce cutting machines himself, telling him that he was skilled, experienced, and visionary. Taking this advice, he rented a small workshop where he could continue repairs while beginning production on 5-10 machines per month. These machines became increasingly popular among customers due to their high quality and satisfaction levels.

Demand continued to grow for these products, as did the business itself. This led to the business eventually needing more space than the 120 m² workshop they originally occupied. Eventually, Abdülkerim ÖZÇELİK continued his work by building a larger area in the industrial zone. This allowed them a much increased production capacity, which again was not enough for the ever-growing demand. From that production workplace to Ümraniye Çakmak, and Ümraniye Atakent later on, the workplaces only grew, becoming a factory with full capacity production. This led us to today where we still produce top-of-the-line machinery with customer satisfaction remaining at its core foundation.

58 years of diligent work, dedication, and a visionary approach to every step, Abdülkerim ÖZÇELİK strived for the finest he could offer in his capability, experience, and core value of quality. He has been a precious example to everyone around him which teaches an invaluable lesson: Success is inevitable if you are dedicated, hardworking and visionary.
