土耳其工程设备市场概况
The Turkish construction and mining machinery sector has been producing lifting machinery especially cranes since 1970. Bridge and tower cranes, cranes designed for mounting on road vehicles and cranes used in the iron and steel sector have important share in the production of cranes. Small and medium sized companies dominate the crane industry. Approximately, 50 companies are operational in the crane sector. Some of the companies have specialized in the production of certain models by means of mass production. For instance, the production of special type high capacity cranes is performed successfully by 10 large companies.
In Turkey, there are a few big companies producing small capacity machines called forklifts, backhoe loaders, hammers and excavators. Backhoe loaders and excavators are among the fast developing products in the sector. At present, the share of backhoe loaders is about 40% in the total sales of construction and mining machinery. The share of excavators is about 30%. It is expected that this tendency for backhoe loaders and excavators will continue.
The Turkish construction and mining machinery industry is composed of about 500 companies with medium and small sized companies dominating the industry. About 100 of these are manufacturing companies, 10 of which are largesized. The number of people employed in this sector is approximately 16,000. Manufacturing sites are mainly located in the Marmara, Central Anatolian and Aegean Regions of Turkey.
