Our Manufacturing Facility & Capabilities

TMD GRUP's manufacturing facility is located in Başkent Organized Industrial Zone in Ankara. Başkent OSB is one of Türkiye's leading organised industrial zones; with modern infrastructure, transport convenience (airport, rail and road connections) and reliable energy-water infrastructure, it provides the foundation for an integrated industrial complex.

Our facility's integrated structure houses the engineering office, CNC manufacturing workshop and test areas in a single complex. This physical proximity enables daily interaction between design and production teams — errors are caught early, changes are applied quickly, and prototyping is easily done.

The main cutting machine in our facility is a CNC plasma and oxygen cutting system with a 3000 mm × 12000 mm bed. This is a large bed size rarely found in the sector; the ability to process steel plates up to 12 metres long in a single setup facilitates the production of large-scale components such as conveyor housings, silo bodies and large steel construction parts.

CNC control brings cutting accuracy to micron level; complex geometries are programmed and consistency is achieved in serial production. Plasma cutting is fast and clean for thin and medium-thickness steel; oxygen cutting is preferred for thick steel (above 50 mm).

Bending steel plates into shape (sheet metal bending) is one of the basic steps of industrial equipment production. The TMD GRUP manufacturing workshop uses a 4-metre mouth-width / 12-mm thickness-capacity press brake from Durmazlar, Türkiye's leading machine manufacturer.

With this press, large steel plates are bent at precise angles for U-trough conveyor housings, silo panel curves, hopper geometries and special design parts. Thanks to programmable control, hundreds of copies of the same part can be produced identically.

The 100-ton capacity hydraulic press is used for various forming and pre-assembly pressing operations. Pipe forming, part straightening, press-assembly and special form-giving operations are done on this machine.

Other workshop equipment:

• Ø350 mm band saw — cutting of pipes, profiles and large rods.

• Column drill — high-precision drilling operations.

• Various lathes and milling machines — small-scale mechanical part manufacturing.

These equipment sets together enable a wide range of components to be produced in a single facility.

Welding is the heart of steel construction manufacturing. Three main welding methods are used in the TMD GRUP workshop:

• MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding — a fast and efficient method for most structural steel joining.

• TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding — for stainless steel and precision joining.

• SAW (Submerged Arc Welding) — for thick steel and long, continuous weld lines.

Our welding operators are WPS (Welding Procedure Specification) and WPQR (Welding Procedure Qualification Record) certified — meaning both the welding procedures used and the operators' capabilities are documented. This is a requirement of EN 1090 EXC3 certification.

Weld quality cannot be assessed by eye — internal cracks, porosity or lack of penetration are not visible from the surface. For this reason TMD GRUP verifies weld quality with NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) infrastructure:

• UT (Ultrasonic Test) — detection of internal defects via sound waves, ideal for thick welds.

• MT (Magnetic Particle Test) — detection of near-surface cracks via magnetic particles.

• PT (Penetrant Test) — revealing surface cracks via coloured liquid.

100% NDT inspection of critical joins is a requirement of our EN 1090 EXC3 certification. This ensures the user can be confident that every structural join manufactured by TMD GRUP is safe.

Protecting industrial equipment against corrosion and the aesthetic final appearance is the last production step. The TMD GRUP facility has a fully equipped powder-coating preparation and electrostatic application line:

• Surface preparation: sandblasting or chemical cleaning.

• Phosphating — chemical pre-treatment that improves paint adhesion to metal.

• Electrostatic powder-coating application — powder pigment is drawn to the part by electric charge.

• Polymerisation in the curing oven — powder coating hardens at high temperature.

The result is a durable, evenly thick and aesthetic coating. The colour the customer wants is applied via RAL code; for corrosive environments, special chemically resistant paints are preferred.

Our customers can visit our manufacturing facility in Başkent OSB by appointment. During the factory tour:

• You can walk through the engineering office and observe the design process.

• You can see production live in the CNC cutting, welding and assembly workshops.

• You can inspect the parts of your own project during manufacturing (FAT — Factory Acceptance Test).

• You can directly witness the quality control and NDT inspection processes.

This transparency is one of the foundations of customer confidence in TMD GRUP during tender and contract processes. Especially in large-scale, high-stakes projects, the customer's engineers visiting the facility and directly evaluating the manufacturer is a standard procedure.
