Strengthening Partnerships in Turkey: Visiting ENA MÜHENDİSLİK and Bucakligil

Last week, Manabu from Sodick Europe spent time in Turkey, visiting two long-standing Sodick customers — ENA MÜHENDİSLİK in Istanbul and Bucakligil, both excellent examples of precision manufacturing and trusted Sodick technology users.

At ENA MÜHENDİSLİK, Manabu was welcomed by Mr Vural Aykut Çağman and Mr Namık Can Doğan, who shared insight into their work producing moulds for plastic model kits. The company operates two Sodick machines — an AG60L and an ALC600G — both supplied by Istanbul Makina, Sodick’s distributor in Turkey. Seeing their dedication to precision and quality up close was a true highlight of the visit.

The trip continued with a stop at Bucakligil, a respected manufacturer supplying packaging moulds and medical components to European markets. The team here runs three Sodick AD35L machines, which they proudly describe as the best machines in their job shop. It’s been a particularly busy year for Bucakligil, reflecting both their expertise and the continued demand for high-quality mould production.

A special thank you goes to Mr Cankut Bucakligil, founder of Bucakligil, and Mr Ismail Gunturkun, CEO of Istanbul Makina, for their warm hospitality and ongoing collaboration.

The visits reinforced Sodick Europe’s strong relationships with customers across Turkey and showcased how Sodick technology continues to empower manufacturers to achieve world-class precision, reliability, and performance.
