Precision is an element we express and apply at every stage of production. This element, which is also the first word in our company title, accompanies us from the design of the products to their shipment. Our future philosophy is built on precision. The main idea behind our new investments stems from precision.
Since we began operations, millions of pieces, millions of metres and millions of tonnes of products cut by our blades have successfully reached you through our customers. The fact that our blades are involved in every product, and the added value we provide by making products usable through cutting with various blade edges, always motivates us. In order to meet your personal demands for greater sharpness, longer-lasting performance and more effective use, we identify all relevant parameters together through the joint work of you and our professional team.
Banaş has adopted success as a fundamental principle with its quality production approach applied within the company. The domestic and foreign customer portfolio it has held since its founding has ensured the continuous use of Banaş blades and has contributed to the establishment of strong bonds among our customers.
The founders successfully completed their technical high school and university education. Towards the end of the 1960s, they stepped into Germany to gain experience and acquire secondary education and work experience in order to provide added value and production power to our country in the future.
In the 1970s, while continuing their second university education in Germany, they also entered business life and began their first activities in the cutting tools sector.
In 1980, a family company was established in Hamburg, Germany for the production of cutting tools, machine blades and cutting instruments.
In 1986, despite the difficulties encountered, a large part of the existing facility in Germany was transferred to Turkey and Banaş A.Ş. was established in Sakarya and began operations. Some machinery and equipment are still in Germany, serving industrial sectors on the same subject with a building of one thousand square metres.
In 1990, with a factory building of 2,000 square metres of closed area in Sakarya and 25 employees, the company began to meet the machine blade needs of the industrially developing country, mainly through cutting tool production, repair and sharpening, perforated sheet metal and sieve production.
As mechanisation increased, it shifted its field of activity to the production of industrial cutting tools and machine blades. Technological investments began and machine production was started by designing according to production needs. At the beginning of the 2000s, the factory had 120 machines and employed 40 personnel. In 2005, a sales office was opened in Cologne, Germany, in addition to Hamburg where it was founded. In 2008, a sales office was opened in the United States of America and demand for its products began to come from most countries of the world.
While technology investments continued, the factory building was also renewed according to occupational safety legislation, creating 4,000 square metres of closed area. With a partial shift work system, the number of employees exceeded 50. In 2012, all quality and environmental system documents required for the enterprise (ISO9001-ISO14001-OHSAS18001) were obtained and the enterprise management structure began to be administered according to institutionalisation criteria.
Investments continued to keep pace with increasing requirements and technological changes. The machine park was increased to 200 and the number of employees reached 80. Customer satisfaction was provided to more than 2,000 active customers.
While embracing the fact that 45 years of experience in the blade industry has contributed greatly to the company, it grows stronger every day and stands ready as a foundation for the experiences it will encounter in the future.
