CNC Mills Starts Being Used

This year the processing centers and CNC mills were put into service as technological investments. Only 9,080 pcs of tractors were manufactured due to Gulf Crisis..

Faces Smile, Company Fully Privatized

The economy in general recovered in comparison with the previous year and 10,508 pcs of tractors were manufactured. 1,051 pcs of tractor bodies were exported to Italy. The profit obtained by the end of the year made everybody smile. The Public Partnership Administration, which is the state controlled shareholder of the Company transferred all of its shares to Koç Group on September 12, 1992. On that date the Company became fully private. The foundry was closed down. Ideas and pro engineer applications were started to be used. TürkTraktör's share in domestic production was 48.37 % in 1992. Assuming that "Tractor Body" is 40% of a tractor, this share increases to 49.35%. As to the share of TürkTraktör in tractor fleet of Turkey, it rose to 37.10%.

Türk Traktör Once More Starts Producing Engines

Türk Traktör suprassed even the figures it achieved in the past and produced 22,127 pcs of tractors. In this year when "crocera" production figures were also high and engine production almost doubled.

Türk Traktör was crowned by three 1996 prizes awarded by Ankara Chamber of Industry by the end of 1997. - The first place in 1996 corporate tax category with TL 1.9 trillion corporate tax - the first place in product development category with an entire tractor design with a transmission having 16 forward and 4 reverse gears, - again another first place in environment protection category with paint emissions improvement, industrial waste water treatment plant, waste water and flue gas emissions laboratory and environmental management system - these prizes of Türk Traktör, which took Ankara's 14th place in exports category following the SEEs (State Economic Enterprise), were admitted by General Manager Hakkı Akkan in a ceremony held on December 18, 1997 at Ankara Hiton Hotel, which was also honored by President Süleyman Demirel's presence.

Three FMS (Flexible Manufacturing System) lines were completed. By means of these lines, it became possible to machine transmission boxes incessantly around the clock. The new workshop building with a surface area of 20 thousand m2 of the 2nd phase construction project, was mostly complete this year. Türk Traktör which continued its recent investment spree, placed 15 pcs of CNC mills into service this year.

MRP/ERP (Manufacturing Resource Planning/Engineering Resource Planning) software package by Oracle was put into service. It started using advanced systems in production control and planning too and FMS (Flexible Manufacturing System) was put into service.

Engine Block Cylinder Head are Machined

The engine production which started last year continued in this year too but with in less quantity. For the first time in TürkTraktör, an engine block cylinder head was machined. ADAMS and ANSYS applications were purchased for product design calculations and verifications. 10,010 pcs of tractors, 1506 pcs of crocera and 464 engines were manufactured in total. This year, "self assessment" activities were initiated on the basis of EFQM (European Foundation of Quality Management) Total Quality Model under the scope of Koç 2000 Project. Activities for a suggestion system were started.

Increase in Demand, Exports to Mexico

Production of "bodies with engines installed" which shall also be exported to Mexico was started this year. In line with the increased local demand, 18,738 pcs of tractors were manufactured, corresponding to an 87% increase in production. The fact that the foreign exchange rate which had been tackled previously, was relaxed downwards to the realistic levels was instrumental in the peak we experienced in the demand in comparison with the last year. As a result, the increased purchasing power of the population who demand tractors, resulted in expected production and sale figures to TürkTraktör. The engine and crank shaft machining lines which were just put into service also contributed to this record-breaking outcomes. The number of the engines which were being manufactured in the past in limited quantities, was increased up to 8502 pcs.

Tractors with Power Steering and Cab

New Partnership, New Era, New Brand

A new era has started in June 1998. Koç Holding and New Holland, by the virtue of joint venture agreement they made and entered into, would share the management and offer 25% of the shares to the public. Moreover within the framework of the said agreement, TürkTraktör has become more integrated into system of New Holland in terms of product development, engineering, production, procurement, exports and sales. The Agreement stipulated that TürkTraktör is production center for 56 and 66 model tractors within the structure of NH. TürkTraktör was designated as production center for 55 and 56 model tractors. 1998 was a successful year when a true integration/fusion was achieved under the terms and conditions of the agreement. TürkTraktör once more broke the records and produced 24,080 pcs of tractors. With the integration of Türk Traktör into New Holland network, the products with "TÜRK-FIAT" brand, were rebranded as "New Holland" as of August 1998. Again by August 1998, "ORACLE Manufacturing" ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning" software project was concluded and all functional departments have started using ERP software. 1998 was a successful year.

New Technology Increases Production Capacity

The global crisis, the drought experienced throughout the year, agricultural policies and practices as well as the earthquake with a Richter magnitude of 7.4 experienced in Eastern Marmara Region on 17th of August, adversely influenced both Turkey and TürkTraktör. The production reached merely to 8,794 tractors, by the end of year. Of this production 574 pcs were exported to Pakistan. Work was started on a new model which shall attract attention of both Turkey and the world. Through this project it was intended to keep main functionality of 56 and 66 series tractors but transform the outline of the tractors into current models of NH.The investments which had been made for for capacity increasing and more modern production lines as well as a new assembly line, were completed in 1999 and assembly lines for hydraulic lifts, drivelines, engines and tractors were moved to the new settlement area. Thus annual production capacity rose to 35,000 pcs.
 

Three New Models 50 SPC, 60 SPC, 60 JUN, Welcome CASE

Three New Models were started to be produced: 50 SPC, 50 SPC, 60 JUN. Moreover the engineering activities for "CASE" brand tractors which would be started to be manufactured after a year were continued. Design details of 56 and 66 model tractors were performed by TürkTraktör's engineers. The so called clothing of new model tractors was completed in 2000 by working together with a US master designer, John Russel for an attractive outline for the tractors. New Holland purchased off the shares of CASE company which had a high market share in USA. Thus the partner of TürkTraktör became CNH - Case New Holland. As of 2004, CASE NEW HOLLAND was one of the largest agricultural and construction machinery manufacturer of the world. This year production would be able to reach merely 14,186 pcs of tractors.

60C Model, A Joint Design Project

In 2001 prototype tests of new model TD Blue tractors which were designed by TürkTraktör's employees, were completed and preparations for serial production were initiated. We reached at the verge of serial production for 5 main models of tractors with engine power ranging from 55 HP to 95 HP, with platform or cab options. Although production figures were lower due to economic crisis in 2001, it was a very productive year in terms of productivity and prospective activities.
