  • Turnkey automation, electromechanical systems, and integrated production lines

IKRA Makina focuses on forming technologies, industrial automation, and mechanical system development. With strong in-house engineering capabilities and continuous R&D activities, the company delivers practical, reliable, and cost-effective production solutions.

We are interested in collaborating with organisations that:

  • Have an existing R&D or innovation project requiring industrial machine development

  • Need a reliable machine manufacturer for pilot lines, demonstrators, or industrial validation

  • Require custom forming, metal processing, automation, or prototype machinery

  • Are preparing or planning projects under European R&D programmes such as Horizon Europe, EIC, Eurostars, and SMART Eureka

We focus on collaborations where an industrial machine manufacturer plays a critical role in transforming technical concepts into robust, real-world production systems.
