Our journey, which started in 1983 in an area of 15 m², will continue to live for generations without compromising on quality.
Timeline
In 1983, Ulvi Özelçi laid the foundations for Özkar Hidrolik in the Hasköy district of Istanbul. Starting in a 15 m² area, Özkar Hidrolik began providing technical support and hydraulic system technical drawing services.
In 1987, taking its first step towards growth, the company moved to a new production facility covering 100 m².
In addition to technical consultancy services, the company introduced its first Universal lathe and Universal drill machines to start production activities.
After the first production of hydraulic cylinders, they expanded their production areas to include Hydraulic Power Systems and Hydraulic Presses in their product range.
In 1995, with the aim of increasing production capacity, Özkar Hidrolik moved to a new 250 m² workshop. They added more Universal lathe and drill machines and included the first milling machine in their machinery park to increase production capacity.
In 2000, they realized their first block cylinder production in response to the needs of the mold sector.
In 2008, the company added its first CNC milling and turning machines to its production equipment. The production processes could now be carried out with higher precision, quality, and without errors
In 2014, our founder Ulvi Özelçi passed away. As the second generation, his sons Murat Özelçi and Emre Özelçi continued to develop and sustain Özkar Hidrolik in the light of their father's knowledge and experience.
In 2015, Özkar Hidrolik made a major investment and moved to its new 600 m² facility located in İkitelli Organized Industrial Zone. The same year, the company achieved its first export.
