Our founder's principle

“High-quality, technological products should enter Türkiye at the most economical prices, so that first our country, then our investors and Turkish engineers gain the greatest benefit.”

Our founder Bülent Bozkurt (1953–2016)

Born in Hereke, he moved to Germany with his family at the age of nine. At fifteen he became an apprentice at the lathe manufacturer Traub and later graduated from the Stuttgart technical college. He returned to Istanbul in 1978, founded Boztaş on 31 March 1983 and for more than thirty years was a bridge between Turkish industry and European manufacturers.

Our principles

Three principles, unchanged since 1983

The right product at the right price

The machine that fits your needs, on European terms. We work only with specialised manufacturers of European origin.

Turkish industry first

The principle of our founder and his family: to stand by Turkish industry in all circumstances.

We stand behind what we sell

Installation, training, service and spare parts for the whole life of the machine.

Two countries, one team

In Türkiye since 1983, in Germany since 2000
