Research & Development

Floteks took the first step towards corporate R&D studies by establishing the R&D department 21 years ago. Floteks has carried out 2 TTGV, 5 KOSGEB, 5 TUBITAK projects to date, developed new products as outputs of these projects, sold licenses to foreign companies and earned more than 1 million Euros to our country from technology exports. In addition, Floteks, which has received 1.64 million Euro grant support within the scope of 5 European Union projects in which it has been involved since 2013, is in the 5th place among the SMEs receiving such support in our country as of the end of 2021. It is in the 11th place in the general ranking, which also includes large companies.

Having reached advanced laboratory facilities and qualified R&D staff as a result of the national and international projects it has carried out so far, Floteks applied for the R&D Center Certificate two months ago under the Law No. 5746, and the R&D Center Certificate was approved by the Ministry of Industry and Technology as of December 10, 2021.

Product, material and process researches that require comprehensive, systematic and experimental studies are carried out in Floteks R&D Center without daily production pressure. The R&D work plan and its outputs are reported to the senior management at regular monthly meetings. Floteks Innovation and Technology roadmap is updated every year with well-attended meetings.

In order to ensure the permanence of the project knowledge, design and process standardization is carried out, process, control and test instructions are uploaded to the computerized production tracking system. All tests performed in the R&D laboratory are recorded in the archive program called Arcflow, and test standards and test reports can be accessed at any time. Advanced finite element analysis is used in product design in order to offer the best solution to its customers.

Joint projects have been carried out with many universities and research institutions at home and abroad, and close relations are maintained. It is aimed to develop the innovation capacity of R&D Center employees, to create idea generation, project development and execution systematics, and to reach the R&D Center targets as a result.

We believe that the Floteks R&D Center will increase the technological development momentum of the company, and therefore we will provide more beneficial services to our country.
