INDASTRA Expands to 700+ Brands with 50+ Turkish Manufacturers Added

INDASTRA has added more than 50 Turkish industrial equipment manufacturers to its sourcing catalogue, bringing the total brand count on the platform to over 700. The expansion covers electric motors, gearboxes, bevel gearboxes, and industrial vibrators produced in Turkey, with a primary focus on CE-certified products carrying full technical documentation for EU and UK market use. The Turkish brands now listed include Gamak, ATEK Elektrik, and Volt Motor among others.

Why Turkish Manufacturers Matter for EU Procurement

Turkey's industrial motor and drive sector has grown substantially over the past decade. Several Turkish manufacturers now hold IECEx and ATEX certifications in addition to CE marking, and their production lines are audited to ISO 9001:2015. For EU procurement teams, this creates a practical alternative supply channel with three specific advantages:

• Shorter lead times: Turkish manufacturers typically hold larger inventory buffers than equivalent Chinese OEMs and can ship to major European logistics hubs within 5–10 working days for standard catalogue items.
• Competitive pricing in the 0.75–55 kW range: Turkish production costs remain below those of German and Italian manufacturers by 20–35% for equivalent IE3 motors, while meeting the same IEC 60034-30-1 efficiency requirements.
• EU Customs Union access: Turkey's Customs Union agreement with the EU (in force since 1996 for industrial goods) means Turkish-manufactured motors and gearboxes enter the EU without import duties, unlike equivalent products from China or India.

Featured Turkish Brands Now on INDASTRA

Gamak Elektrik

Gamak, headquartered in Gebze, is one of Turkey's largest electric motor manufacturers. Its standard three-phase induction motor range covers 0.06 kW to 1,000 kW, with IE2 and IE3 efficiency classes available across all power ratings. Gamak motors carry CE marking and comply with EU Regulation 2019/1781. The GMY and GMS series (IEC frame 63–315) are the most commonly specified for conveyor and pump applications. ATEX-rated motors (Ex d, Ex e) are available for Zone 1 and Zone 2 installations. INDASTRA lists Gamak's standard catalogue and can source non-catalogue configurations with a 4–6 week lead time.

ATEK Elektrik

ATEK, based in Bursa, specialises in motors for harsh-environment applications: foundry duty, high-ambient-temperature (up to 60°C), and chemical-resistant variants with Class H insulation as standard rather than option. ATEK's AK series motors are produced in IEC frames 80–355 with IP55 and IP65 protection classes. The AK series IE3 line covers 0.37–315 kW and is cross-referenced against Siemens 1LE1 and ABB M3BP frames for direct analog substitution.

Volt Motor

Volt Motor (Volt Elektrik, Istanbul) produces a range of three-phase and single-phase motors with a particular strength in B14 and B5 flange configurations for gearmotor assemblies. Volt's VS series IE3 motors (0.09–7.5 kW) are a common specification for packaging and food-processing machinery where compact gearmotor packages are needed. The VS series is dimensionally compatible with SEW DRS and Bonfiglioli BN flange input interfaces.

Documentation Standards for All Listed Turkish Brands

INDASTRA's onboarding process for new manufacturers requires the following documentation before a brand is listed on the platform:

• CE Declaration of Conformity referencing EU Regulation 2019/1781 (for motors) or the relevant Machinery Directive annex
• Efficiency test reports traceable to IEC 60034-2-1 test methodology
• Dimensional drawings in PDF and, where available, 3D STEP format
• ATEX certificates from a notified body (for ATEX-rated variants only)

All of this documentation is available for download from each product's page on INDASTRA. For buyers who require factory audit reports or third-party inspection, INDASTRA can coordinate with TÜV SÜD's Turkey office and Bureau Veritas Istanbul.

Delivery to EU, UK, MEA

Turkish-sourced motors and gearboxes ordered via INDASTRA are shipped DDP (Delivered Duty Paid, Incoterms 2020) to EU and UK destinations. Standard delivery time for stock items is 7–14 calendar days to Germany, Poland, Spain and the Netherlands. Delivery to Turkey itself is 3–5 days. MEA deliveries (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt) are handled on DDU terms with an estimated 10–18 days transit depending on destination port.
