Who we are...

KM Heavy Industries

KMHI, as KM Heavy Industries, officially Kurtul Makina San. ve Tic. A.Ş. was founded in 1962 for the purpose of manufacturing carbon and stainless steel equipment with 9 employees in a 150 m² workshop at Istanbul.

We are currently operating in our 7000 m² covered, totally 25.000 m² facility with our 130 employees in Corlu / Tekirdag / Turkey. Equipment up to 150 tons can be manufactured easily in our closed area. Today the company has grown into one of the largest manufacturer who is engaged in production of giant plants.

Dozens of facilities which carries our signature are our proof to the world. We are representing an innovative group of people that specialize in the custom manufacturing and fabrication of process equipment for various industries such as: Oil & Gas Refineries, Petrochemical & Chemical Refineries, Nuclear Power Plants, Biodiesel Plants, Hydrogenation and Energy Plants, Cement, Environmental Industry (Municipal Sewage Sludge and etc.), Wastewater Treatment Plants, Mining, Food Industries, etc.

Our strength lies in our focus, our experience and our staff. Since its inception, KMHI has focused exclusively on carbon and stainless steel (also from exotic material) equipment. Doing so has produced a company and group of people uniquely qualified to solve tough problems.

We export %85 of our products..

85% of our production are exported to Europe, MENA and CIS countries since 40 years.

With our strategic location in the heart of Europe, Asia, MENA, CIS and Africa, we are able to meet all these three continent industrial requirements continuously and effectively. Our geographic advantage helps our clients to reduce their logistics cost.

3 big advantages:

  • First, our facility is in the middle of high density land transport networks.
  • Second is the closed distance to the word-leading seaports in Tekirdag and Istanbul. This brings the advantage of big and heavy equipment transportation, which are unsuitable for long land transportation.
  • And third, we are proud with our efficient and excellent airport infrastructures in Istanbul (Istanbul and Sabiha Gokcen Airports).
