Founded in 1986 by Mr. Akman KARAKÜLAH, Babacan Group has grown into one of Turkey’s leading manufacturers of industrial rubber spare parts. With over 37 years of experience, we serve a wide range of sectors including heavy construction machinery, civil engineering equipment, mining, rail systems, defense industry, medical technologies, and custom mechanical components.
Our journey began in OSTIM as a trading company, and in 1997, we expanded into manufacturing with the establishment of Babacan Industry, focusing on rubber component production. As our product range and technical capabilities grew, we launched a specialized branch, Babacan Hydraulic and Pneumatic, in 2015 to provide advanced fluid power solutions.
In 2017, we relocated our production facility to a 6,500 m² industrial zone in Yenikent, Sincan (Ankara), significantly increasing our manufacturing capacity. Today, nearly 100 skilled professionals contribute to our production, development, and quality control processes.
At Babacan Group, we take pride in delivering high-performance, durable, and reliable solutions tailored to the evolving needs of both domestic and international markets. Our commitment to innovation, customer satisfaction, and continuous improvement drives us forward as a trusted partner in the industrial rubber industry.
QUALITY APPROACH
At Babacan Group, quality is not just a goal — it is a fundamental value that drives every step of our operations. With decades of engineering expertise and a dedication to excellence, we have developed a robust quality system that ensures every product we deliver meets or exceeds international standards. Our approach to quality is rooted in precision, consistency, and continuous improvement. Thanks to our advanced production capabilities, we are able to design and manufacture a diverse portfolio of components, including vibration damping parts, sealing elements, elastic couplings, bellows, diaphragms and bespoke solutions tailored to customer-specific applications. Our products are engineered using a combination of rubber, polyurethane, plastic, and metal — selected carefully to deliver durability, flexibility, and performance under extreme conditions. We take pride in using custom rubber formulas developed by our R&D teams, allowing us to meet the stringent requirements of TSE, ISO, ASTM, DIN and SAE-J MILITARY standards. These formulations are designed to deliver optimal resistance against heat, pressure, chemicals, and wear, ensuring long service life and operational efficiency in the field. Our ISO 9001:2015 certified quality management system is more than just a certificate — it’s a framework that governs our production lines, quality checks, documentation processes, and customer feedback mechanisms. Every stage of production, from raw material inspection to final product testing, is tightly controlled and documented. This meticulous process guarantees consistency, safety, and traceability. As of today, Babacan Group exports to over 84 countries across 7 continents, serving clients from industries as diverse as construction, mining, rail systems, defense, and medical equipment. Our global reach is a direct reflection of the trust we have earned through reliable products, on-time delivery, and outstanding customer support. With a product portfolio exceeding 90,000 unique items and a customer base of more than 15,000 worldwide, we continue to invest in quality-driven innovation. Our team is trained to uphold the highest standards, and our facilities are equipped with the latest technologies to maintain efficiency, precision, and scalability. In everything we do, our commitment remains clear: to deliver uncompromising quality that adds value to our customers’ operations and contributes to their long-term success. At Babacan Group, quality is a promise — and we keep it every single day.
ENVIRONMENTAL & OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY APPROACH
At Babacan Group, we recognize our responsibility to protect the environment and contribute to a more sustainable future. As part of our commitment to environmental stewardship, we actively strive to conserve natural resources, reduce waste, and minimize our environmental footprint across all stages of production. Our aim is to preserve the delicate balance of soil, air, and water systems — leaving behind a cleaner, healthier planet for generations to come.
We integrate eco-friendly practices into our daily operations by optimizing energy usage, promoting recycling initiatives, and investing in technologies that support low-emission and low-waste production. Our environmental approach is not a standalone policy but a deeply embedded principle that guides strategic decision-making and long-term planning.
Alongside our environmental goals, we maintain a rigorous commitment to Occupational Health and Safety (OHS). We believe that the health, safety, and well-being of our employees are critical to both individual and organizational success. Our safety culture is built on respect, responsibility, and proactive prevention.
As part of our core values, we have adopted the following key principles for Occupational Health and Safety:
• Continuous Improvement — We constantly evaluate and enhance our health and safety practices to adapt to evolving needs and standards.
• Legal Compliance — We fully comply with all applicable occupational health and safety laws, regulations, and industry standards.
• Risk Prevention — Through timely and accurate risk assessments, we identify potential hazards and implement measures to eliminate or control them effectively.
• Employee Awareness — We prioritize education and training to ensure all employees are informed, alert, and engaged in maintaining a safe work environment.
• Resource Allocation — We allocate the necessary financial and logistical resources to maintain and continuously improve our health and safety infrastructure.
At Babacan Group, we are committed to building a culture where safety, sustainability, and responsibility are not just policies — they are everyday practices that define who we are.
