AKKOM MAKİNE
Our History
"It began 29 years ago with a vision — today, it echoes in the deepest mines in the world."
The chronology of Akkom Makine is not just a list of numbers and dates — it is the story of the professional evolution of Turkish engineering power, standing toe-to-toe with the global giants of mining.

The Birth of a Vision and the First SparkAkkom Makine was founded in Turkey with the goal of becoming not an "alternative," but the "standard-setter" in the rock drilling spare parts industry. From day one of production, the company set out with an R&D discipline focused on solving the industry's chronic "part lifespan" problems. |

The First Step Beyond Borders: Export BreakthroughMajor investments in CNC technologies minimized production error margins. For the first time, Akkom's quality reached beyond Turkey's borders, proving itself in mining projects across Europe and the Middle East. This was the year our "Global Quality" seal was introduced to the world. |

A Radical Decision: 100% Global FocusAkkom made the decision to fully halt domestic market operations and dedicate its entire production capacity and engineering expertise to global markets. This move became the cornerstone of the "export-focused professionalism" model that has made the company a world leader today. |

2015
|
Metallurgical Revolution and Engineering ExcellenceBeyond simply expanding the machine fleet, raw material analysis laboratories and advanced heat treatment facilities were established. The "Akkom Engineering Protocols" were introduced — not merely matching OEM standards, but optimizing them using field feedback. |

Strategic Move: Pacific Operations and ChileTezman Chile SpA was established to change the rules of the game in South America, home to the world's largest mining reserves. Turkey's manufacturing strength combined with local presence in Chile to become an intercontinental logistics bridge. |

Emerging Stronger from Crisis: Massive Stock ManagementAt a time when global supply chain crises brought the world to a standstill, Akkom made the difference with its "Accessible Ready Stock" strategy of 3,000+ items. By telling mining giants "don't wait for production, buy from stock," Akkom became the world's new address for uninterrupted operations. |

Sustainable Global LeadershipToday, across 5 continents, in more than 60 countries, on thousands of job sites and in the deepest mine tunnels, the Akkom name has become synonymous with trust and durability. Knowing that mines cannot afford the luxury of standing still, we continue forward with our technological investments and our expanding global network. |
