- Dofer Yapi Malzemeleri Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. is a Turkey-based industrial manufacturing and trading enterprise that specializes in the production, processing, and distribution of reinforced steel products, welded wire mesh, and construction materials for the building and infrastructure sectors. Founded in 1985 and headquartered in Ankara, Turkey, the company operates specialized manufacturing and steel processing plants located in the Baskent Organized Industrial Zone in Ankara and the Karabuk Organized Industrial Zone.
The company's core commercial operations encompass manufacturing, wholesale steel trading, and supply chain logistics. Its product and service offerings comprise standard and custom-engineered welded wire steel mesh (celik hasir) engineered for structural floor slabs, foundations, shear walls, precast components, and civil engineering works; cold-drawn plain and ribbed steel wire in coils and straight bars; fabricated ready-made reinforcement iron (hazir demir), including factory-cut, sized, and bent rebars, stirrups (etriye), cross-ties (ciroz), and structural reinforcement assemblies produced to project specifications; standard hot-rolled ribbed concrete reinforcing steel bars (nervurlu insaat demiri) in various standardized diameters and yield strengths; and commercial long steel trading and merchant supply services. Additionally, the company provides domestic logistics, freight forwarding, and on-site distribution services supported by its proprietary heavy commercial transport vehicle fleet. Dofer caters to construction contractors, infrastructure developers, industrial facility builders, and building material retailers throughout domestic regions in Turkey, while exporting selected products to international markets across the Middle East, Central Asia, and the Turkic Republics.
In recent corporate developments, Dofer Yapi completed its initial public offering (IPO) on Borsa Istanbul in October 2023 under the ticker DOFER to support corporate growth, modernize production facilities, and optimize working capital. As part of its strategic operational expansion and decarbonization initiatives, the company has undertaken major capital investments in renewable self-generation, installing rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) power systems across its industrial production facilities in Ankara and Karabuk, while developing a ground-mounted solar power plant with a capacity of approximately 1.84 MWp (1.31 MWe) in Eskisehir Seyitgazi to offset electricity consumption across manufacturing lines. Furthermore, the company has expanded its production capacity through the integration of automated mesh welding machinery and computerized rebar cutting and shaping lines across its primary production hubs.
