Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about robotics services in Turkey
What investment incentives are available for robots in Turkish free zones?
Turkish Organized Industrial Zones (OIZs) and Free Trade Zones offer customs duty exemption, 100% corporate tax reduction, VAT exemption, and land allocation at below-market rates. We help clients establish operations in optimal OIZs for their industry — Kocaeli, Bursa, and Manisa are top picks for manufacturing.
Are your robots CE compliant for EU export from Türkiye?
Yes. Türkiye is in a Customs Union with the EU, so all industrial products must meet CE requirements. Our robots carry CE marking under the Machinery Directive — products manufactured or integrated in Türkiye can export duty-free to the EU.
How do I apply for KOSGEB SME automation grants?
KOSGEB grants require Turkish SME registration and a technology investment project plan. Applications are submitted through the KOSGEB online portal. We prepare technical documentation and ROI projections for client applications — typical approval in 3–4 months.
Do you offer Turkish-language support?
Yes — full Turkish-language documentation, operator training, and local support team. Our engineers cover Istanbul, Bursa (automotive), Kocaeli (automotive/chemicals), Ankara (defense), and İzmir (appliances) industrial regions.
How does Türkiye's position benefit companies serving both EU and Middle Eastern markets?
Türkiye offers EU Customs Union duty-free access plus free trade agreements with Middle Eastern and North African countries. Manufacturing in Türkiye with Turkish automation lets you serve both markets with competitive labor costs (60% lower than Western EU) and strategic logistics positioning.
