Corporate

Kılıçoğlu Makina was founded in 1992 to manufacture dependable fastening equipment for manufacturers that use metal accessories. Today, we design and produce automatic machines for eyelets, snap fasteners, buttons, rivets, decorative stones and other fastening applications used across the garment, leather, footwear, bag, tarpaulin, packaging and stationery industries.

More than thirty years of production experience has taught us that a successful fastening process depends on the harmony between the machine, die set, accessory and material. For this reason, we develop our machines and KMS metal accessories as an integrated system. Our engineering, machining, assembly and quality-control activities are carried out at our own facilities in Istanbul.

We work closely with production teams to understand their materials, capacity targets and application challenges. This practical approach enables us to offer solutions that improve fastening consistency, reduce operator workload and support efficient production. Our experienced technical team also provides installation guidance, maintenance support and spare parts.

Kılıçoğlu Makina serves customers throughout Türkiye and in international markets through a growing sales and service network. We continue to invest in product development, modern manufacturing technologies and the skills of our employees.

Our principles are clear: reliable engineering, stable quality, honest business relationships and long-term customer support. By combining local manufacturing capability with international quality standards, we aim to remain a trusted partner for every company that chooses Kılıçoğlu Makina.

At Kılıçoğlu Makina, performance management is designed to align individual contribution with our quality, customer satisfaction and sustainable growth objectives. Expectations are defined clearly, progress is reviewed regularly and employees receive constructive feedback that supports both current responsibilities and long-term development.

Our evaluation process considers results as well as the competencies and working behaviours used to achieve them. Where appropriate, feedback is gathered from managers, colleagues and collaborating teams to provide a balanced, 360-degree view. This approach helps us recognise strengths, identify development needs and plan relevant training.

Performance discussions are treated as an open dialogue. Employees and managers review achievements, challenges, future targets and the support required for success. The resulting development actions may include technical training, mentoring, new responsibilities or participation in improvement projects.

By combining measurable objectives with fair and transparent feedback, we encourage continuous learning, stronger teamwork and a culture in which every employee can contribute to better products and services.

Our recruitment and placement process begins when a new or replacement position is approved according to business needs. The role’s responsibilities, required technical knowledge, experience and behavioural competencies are defined before applications are evaluated.

Applications are reviewed objectively against the position criteria. Suitable candidates are invited to an initial Human Resources interview, where experience, motivation, career expectations and general compatibility with the role are discussed. Depending on the position, technical assessments or other evaluation tools may also be used.

Candidates who successfully complete the first stage meet the relevant department manager. This interview focuses on professional expertise, problem-solving approach and the practical requirements of the role. For specialist or managerial positions, an additional meeting may be arranged when necessary.

All information gathered during the process is evaluated together. The selected candidate receives a clear employment offer covering the role and working conditions. We also aim to inform other interviewed candidates of the result within a reasonable period.

Our objective is to place the right person in the right role through a respectful, transparent and competency-based process that supports equal opportunity.

Kılıçoğlu Makina carries out design, manufacturing, assembly and quality-control activities through documented processes. Our machinery is developed with attention to applicable safety requirements, production consistency and reliable performance in industrial environments.

Our CE conformity documentation and ISO 9001:2008 quality-management certification demonstrate our commitment to controlled production and continuous improvement. Certificates are supported by internal inspections, traceable manufacturing practices and systematic final checks before delivery.

For customers, documented standards mean greater confidence when selecting equipment, planning production and maintaining long-term operation. Our team can provide relevant product documentation and technical information during quotation and delivery processes.

Kılıçoğlu Makina designs and manufactures automatic fastening machines in its 2,500 m² indoor production facility in Istanbul. Our solutions serve garment, leather, footwear, bag, tarpaulin, packaging and stationery manufacturers that require fast, repeatable and reliable attachment of metal accessories.

Engineering, machining, component preparation, assembly, testing and quality control are coordinated within the same production structure. This integration allows our teams to manage tolerances closely, respond quickly to application-specific requirements and maintain stable quality from one machine to the next.

Each system is evaluated according to its intended accessory, die set and material. Before delivery, operating functions, safety components and fastening performance are checked. We also support customers with installation guidance, operator information, maintenance, spare parts and application advice.

Continuous investment in manufacturing technology and employee expertise enables us to improve machine durability, ease of use and production efficiency while preserving the flexibility expected from an experienced local manufacturer.
