Our Corporate History

Gökçeler Makina is a long-established industrial company founded in 1973 by Ömer Gökçeler, which has developed its production experience across many different sectors over the years. Operating in the Sivas Organized Industrial Zone, our company continues to work with an understanding built on quality, precision, engineering discipline and reliable production.

Active in many branches of industry since its foundation, Gökçeler Makina has produced wagon and locomotive parts, precision spare parts for iron and steel plants, plastic injection moulds, medical plastic parts, construction elevators and wood cutting machines. This versatile production history has strengthened our technical capabilities and created a flexible production infrastructure able to adapt to the needs of very different sectors.

2011 was an important turning point for Gökçeler Makina. Under the protocol signed with Alp Aviation and TUSAŞ, our company took on the manufacture of various parts of the Boeing 787 civil passenger aircraft for Alp Aviation, and the manufacture of forming moulds for helicopter and aircraft bodies for TUSAŞ, making a strong entry into the aerospace and defence industries.

In the same period, Gökçeler Makina began taking an active role in land vehicle projects as a subcontractor of Nurol Makina, producing bulldozer blades and aluminium fenders for the Axor TOMA and Ejder TOMA projects. By taking on the production of critical parts in the Ejder Yalçın 4x4 vehicle project, it proved its quality and reliability in the defence industry. Today it takes part with active production capability in Nurol Makina’s TOMA, Ejder TOMA, Ejder Yalçın 4x4, Ilgaz, Yörük NMS 4x4 and STA projects.

Since 2013, as a subcontractor of FNSS, it has widened its field of activity in the defence industry with tank revision parts and part production for AV-8 vehicles.

In 2016, Gökçeler Makina further strengthened its production infrastructure through the “Development of Qualified and Precision Production Capabilities” project, accepted under KOSGEB’s “Capacity Development in Medium-High and High Technology SMEs” call. With the support of this project, computerised coordinate measuring machines and computer-aided design and manufacturing software were added to the company, markedly increasing its precision production and quality control capability.

Today Gökçeler Makina is positioned as a reliable solution partner in the manufacture of parts and systems requiring high precision in the defence, aerospace, medical, iron and steel and industrial production fields. With our experience, technological infrastructure and quality-focused production approach, we offer our customers not only products, but sustainable, traceable and reliable production solutions.

Our goal at Gökçeler Makina is to keep combining the production discipline we inherited with advanced technology, and to remain a strategic manufacturing force adding value to Türkiye’s defence and aerospace industries.

We have produced in Sivas since 1973.

Gökçeler Makina celebrates its 50th year in the industry together with a team it has worked with for 25 years. We produce plastic and polyurethane injection moulds, plastic injection printing work, spare parts, aircraft and armoured land vehicle components for the defence industry, form moulds and high-precision steel construction parts. We also carry out the design and engineering processes for all of this production in-house.
