Yanmar, one of the world’s largest engine and agricultural equipment manufacturers, has terminated all agricultural equipment production operations in Europe and moved them to Türkiye. Tripling its production capacity at its factory in Torbalı district, Yanmar aims to meet the needs of both Türkiye and Europe and the Turkic Republics with an annual production of 9 thousand tractors. In production lines equipped with modern technology, agricultural machinery is produced for the local and global market, while exports are made to more than 30 countries. With this investment, Yanmar plans to become not only a regional production centre but also a global R&D centre.
