Mennan Makine started its operations
in its new production facility
Mennan Makina, which was deemed worthy of the Technology Achievement
Award with the carpet yarn machine it produced in 1996, aims to carry its
success even higher with the new projects it will carry out in 2022.
After founding his own company in 1973, Mennan
Aksoy, who sought to do more qualified work, got
the fruit of these efforts with the carpet yarn machine,
which was built for the first time in Turkey. The
master Mennan, who was able to manufacture this
machine, which can be produced in a limited number
of countries such as Germany, Italy and France as a
result of intensive labor and research, crowned this
work with the Technology Achievement Award in 1998.
Ali Aksoy, General Manager of Mennan Makine, with
whom we talked about the R&D studies they implement
in the machines they produce and the automation
systems, gave information about the special
systems they use in their machines.
How did the founding story of Mennan Makina begin?
What are your fields of activity?
Our brand started to produce with Gaziantep’s first
TÜBİTAK project, Mennan Aksoy prepared in cooperation
with Gaziantep University in 1996. Mennan Aksoy,
who produced this carpet yarn machine in Gaziantep,
which can be produced in a limited number of countries
such as Germany, Italy and France, successfully
completed this project and was awarded the Technology
Achievement Award in 1998. After the successful
conclusion of the first project, the brand focused on
R&D studies in the following years, successfully completing
8 TÜBİTAK projects and breaking new ground
in Synthetic Fiber and Yarn production in Turkey.
Mennan Makine, which sells the machines it produces
to countries such as Brazil, Egypt, Syria, Morocco,
Saudi Arabia, Turkmenistan, Algeria, Uzbekistan and
Iran, in addition to the domestic market, has made a
significant foreign exchange contribution to our country.
Our company, which has been producing synthetic
yarn machines with the support of the university since
2013, is continuing to work on the design of systems
that are more advanced than its European counterparts.
First of all, can you give information about your new
production facilities?
We started production in our new facility with a total
area of 10,000 square meters, of which 5 thousand
square meters is closed, in the 2nd OIZ. Together with
this production facility, we can produce 10 spinning
machines per year. We have 50 personnel working
continuously in our facility. With the periodic support
we receive from outside, this number reaches 120
people in total. In addition to our own machinery, we
produce our products in 3 different production facilities
in Gaziantep and other provinces.
