Founded in 1976 through the vision of Şamil Girgin, GIMAS continues its journey today as a powerful industrial brand extending from Türkiye to global markets under the leadership of Bekir Girgin. Over the years, GIMAS has steadily expanded its engineering capabilities, production strength, and export capacity. Within this journey, the GIMAS Malta investment stands out as one of the company’s most strategic milestones. Launched in 2024, the Malta production facility represents our commitment to faster, closer, and more efficient manufacturing for Europe, taking GIMAS’s global growth vision to a new level.
Our production capacity has been further expanded with next-generation machining capabilities. GIMAS’s global presence was reinforced through the establishment of a 10,000 m² production facility in Malta and the opening of a new office in Germany.
GIMAS took part in numerous international projects during this period. In 2018, we initiated the production of wind turbine components. We also carried out high-precision manufacturing for the nuclear, thermal, and renewable energy sectors, further strengthening our global presence.
GIMAS became one of the leading exporters in the machinery sector, earning a place among the top three exporters through its consistent quality, reliability, and strong production capabilities. By maintaining high standards in manufacturing processes and meeting international requirements, the company built long-term partnerships with global clients. This achievement reflects GIMAS’s commitment to excellence, its ability to adapt to evolving market demands, and its growing influence in the international machinery industry. The recognition further strengthened the company’s reputation and contributed significantly to its sustainable growth strategy.
GIMAS strategically focused on the cement and mining industries, strengthening its expertise and production capabilities in these key sectors. During this period, the company expanded its operational scope and began actively participating in international projects. By delivering high-quality manufacturing solutions tailored to the specific needs of global clients, GIMAS reinforced its position as a reliable and competitive partner in the international market. This expansion not only increased export activities but also contributed to the company’s long-term growth and global recognition.
GIMAS entered the machinery sector, initiating production for industries including autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC), cement, and general construction materials. In 1992, the company relocated to the Izmir Atatürk Organized Industrial Zone and commenced export operations.
The first manufacturing workshop, built on a 6,000 m² site in Menemen, became operational. Production of pressure vessels for refineries commenced soon after.
GIMAS was founded in 1976 by Senior Mechanical Engineer Şamil Girgin, entering the industry through the manufacturing of steel structures and components.
