Kanca Drop Forge
with tradition and the highest standards
A new 15,000 m2 factory was built and put into operation in 1974. The expanded and modernized forging lines made it possible to supply other industries with high-quality forgings.
From the 1980s onwards, demand from the automotive industry led to a further increase in forging production capacity and the supply of higher-quality parts to local OEMs such as Fiat, Mercedes, Iveco, Ford, and Renault.
A new cold forging line, commissioned in 1997, enabled KANCA to offer an even broader range of metal forming services, which also served as a know-how base for the hot forging sector.
With all necessary facilities such as product and tool design, production, forging, heat treatment, and machining under one roof, KANCA has proven to be a one-stop shop for supply and has attracted additional customers, including VW Group, BMW, Toyota, TRW, Delphi, Bosch, ZF, Scania, and many others...
KANCA established the first Research and development center for hot forging in Turkey. Thanks to modern quality assurance techniques and ISO TS 16949 and ISO 14001 certifications, KANCA is now one of the leading forging companies in Turkey and supplies its customers worldwide. KANCA currently produces almost 30,000 tons of forged products annually and exports more than half of its sales to the EU. Source: https://kancaforging.com, accessed February 2025
