Founded in 1985 and headquartered in Gebze, Kocaeli, Turkey, the company operates as a full-service systems integrator and industrial equipment provider, developing, manufacturing, commissioning, and servicing turnkey automation solutions for complex manufacturing environments. HKTM structures its business operations across five core technical divisions: hydraulics, electro-mechanics, robotics, mechanical automation, and industrial software engineering.
The company provides an extensive portfolio of engineered systems and industrial components, which includes: hydraulic power units, standard and heavy-duty hydraulic cylinders, proportional and servo valve control blocks, mobile hydraulic systems, and custom hydraulic presses; electro-mechanical drive systems, multi-axis linear modules, electric cylinders, ball screws, and servo motor systems; robotic automation systems, including mega Cartesian robots, Delta picking robots, collaborative robot integration, automated palletizing lines, sealing and adhesive dispensing systems, and robotic welding fixtures; plant automation and control systems, comprising programmable logic controller (PLC) programming, human-machine interfaces (HMI), supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) integrations, and medium-frequency direct current (MFDC) resistance welding controllers; centralized industrial lubrication systems, grease pumps, and fluid metering equipment; and industrial software solutions, including enterprise resource planning integrations, manufacturing execution systems (MES), industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) platforms, and predictive maintenance algorithms. In addition to proprietary engineering, HKTM serves as a primary distributor and engineering solutions partner for global technology manufacturers, most notably maintaining a long-term partnership with Bosch Rexroth for drive and control technologies, as well as integrating Graco lubrication and fluid handling systems.
HKTM operates domestically through engineering, assembly, and service locations across Turkey, including facilities in the Gebze Guzeller Organized Industrial Zone and the Kocaeli University Technopark. The company conducts international engineering and commercial operations in the European market through its wholly owned subsidiary, Mers Technology GmbH, based in Germany. HKTM also holds majority stakes in key technology subsidiaries, including ACD Bilgi Islem Bilgisayar Yazilim Hizmetleri Sanayi ve Ticaret Limited Sirketi and Inovasyon Muhendislik Teknoloji Gelistirme Danismanlik Sanayi ve Ticaret Limited Sirketi for enterprise software and engineering analytics, Modul Modern Egitim Teknolojileri Anonim Sirketi for educational machinery and industrial training units, and Hareket Kontrol Servis Merkezi Sanayi ve Insaat Taahhut Ticaret Anonim Sirketi for on-site maintenance, repair, and lifecycle support. Its solutions serve customers across diverse sectors, including automotive, defense and aerospace, metallurgy and steel processing, white goods, food and beverage packaging, energy, and construction machinery.
In recent corporate developments, HKTM has deepened its participation in defense and aerospace engineering, formalizing a ten-year strategic cooperation agreement with the 2nd Air Maintenance Factory Directorate (2. Hava Bakim Fabrika Mudurlugu). To enhance its advanced research and production footprint, the company established and registered new operating units at the Kocaeli University Technopark and the Gebze Guzeller Organized Industrial Zone. Furthermore, HKTM restructured its business portfolio by completing the divestment of its 80% stake in SFM Makine Sanayi ve Ticaret Anonim Sirketi to sharpen its focus on high-value robotic motion systems and core engineering technologies, while adjusting its corporate capital planning to support ongoing research and development initiatives.
