Switzerland-based Global Industrial Glue Application solutions specialist Robatech announced that it will make a significant investment in Turkey and build a new, state-of-the-art service and technology facility in Izmit, Kocaeli. This strategic step marks an important milestone in the company’s continuous growth journey and underlines its commitment to sustainable development and regional empowerment.
The new building, planned to be opened in 2026, is a forward-looking investment in both human resources. The project, with a total investment value of 275 million Turkish Liras, reflects the company’s confidence in the Turkish market and reinforces its long-term strategy to increase global competitiveness while strengthening local operations.
Supporting Regional and Global Growth
Kocaeli’s Ali Kahya Organized Industrial Zone has been chosen as an ideal base for regional and international logistics with its strong transportation infrastructure and industrial ecosystem. Robatech’s new building will have a closed area of 4,700 m² and an open area of 1,400 m²; These areas will include sections such as technical service, storage and a demo and R&D center. These facilities aim to optimize operational efficiency and provide a modern, collaborative environment for employees, customers and partners.
A key component of the new building will be a 600 m² technical service area that will significantly increase Robatech Turkey’s maintenance and repair capabilities. This expansion aims to accelerate service response times and ensure high levels of customer satisfaction, especially in the area of after-sales technical support. This is one of the key differentiators in Robatech’s value proposition.
Investing in Innovation and Collaboration
Beyond technical services, the facility will house a demo and R&D center for application testing and development of customer projects. Additionally, we promote knowledge transfer by organizing on-site trainings, workshops and industry events. Seminars and seminars fully equipped to support to offer meeting rooms.
“This investment is a natural result of the expertise and sustainable growth strategy that Robatech has built over the last 50 years,” says Robatech Türkiye Sales Manager A.U. Hakan Tanrıöven. “This reflects not only our confidence in the Turkish economy, but also our commitment to continuous innovation and customer satisfaction.”
Commitment to Sustainability
Robatech’s sustainability goals are also reflected in the design of the facility. The building will be constructed in accordance with LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) standards and will include solar energy systems to reduce carbon footprint. Energy-efficient processes and environmentally friendly building materials will support Robatech’s goals of reducing energy and water consumption and contribute to creating a greener industrial footprint.
“Sustainability is not an afterthought – it is an integral part of our business model,” says Tanrıöven. “From processing to product development, we are investing in technologies and processes that will enable us to grow responsibly together with our customers.”
Contribution to Local Economy
In addition to technological advancement, the project is expected to create new employment opportunities for qualified professionals, contractors and suppliers in the region. Robatech’s investment will support the local economy and contribute to industrial development in one of Turkey’s most dynamic production centers.
Looking Forward
