Information

Dostel was founded by Mr. Tarik Yucel in 1970 when it was started as a machine shop in Topkapi district of Istanbul. In 1974 Dostel continued operating in it’s own 1,800 square meter size manufacturing facility in Kartal, Istanbul. During the early 1980s it started manufacturing Jawa motorcycle, Skoda chassis and Beldesan bycycle parts which were quickly followed by all welded chassis parts for Isuzu and Ford OTOSAN commercial vehicles in 1986. During the 1990s Dostel took large, important steps to secure a position amongst the leading companies in its line of business. Because of the new investments in equipment, in 1990 the most complicated and sensitive dies started production in Dostel’s own tool and die making department. By moving to a new 5,500 sq.m. D1 factory in Gebze in 1993 and by continuing series of investments Dostel also attained computer controlled fabrication production (CAD/CAM) and corresponding CMM supported measuring capabilities in response to customer requirements. During the year 2006, in addition to its enlarging corporate structure and D1 facility, Dostel started up its 10,500 sq.meter D2 facility within the same OSB in Gebze for high capacity production by adding on several automated welding and tandem press lines. Resultingly, because of its enlarging capital influx, capable management systems, experienced and dynamic labor in die making, steel forming/welding and assembled parts business, Dostel today has world class manufacturing capability at two company owned locations comprised of a total of 16,000 sq.m. thus meeting the high quality standards of its customers with projects in Turkey, Europe and also in the United States. Our D2 facility within the Gebze OSB zone has all the modern lines and operational systems suitable for world class production. Inside the sheet metal prep department rolls of steel get cut to size and readied for further handling. By employing 100T to 1100T capacity hydraulic or mechanical presses, those are processed into many required sizes and shapes as ordered. The parts needing press forming are processed by tandem, progressive and transfer press lines where robotic automation techniques are employed. Similarly, the assembled parts for which the gas influx, spot welding techniques used are completed in a streamlined fashion by 7 axis robotic mechanical welders . Zero failure serial productions are supported by the robotic production lines, automated bolt & nut feeder systems and control fixture usages.
