Tezmaksan CEO Hakan Aydoğdu Discusses Parkurda.com on A Para TV's Kobi Platformu
Turkey’s first CNC digital platform, Parkurda.com, is making waves in the manufacturing sector, providing a new digital hub for subcontracting and industrial collaboration.
During an interview on A Para TV’s Kobi Platformu, hosted by Merve Tepe, Tezmaksan CEO Hakan Aydoğdu shared insights into the impact of Parkurda.com and Turkey’s evolving industrial landscape.
Turkey: The New Manufacturing Hub for Europe & the US
Aydoğdu highlighted that, due to currency fluctuations, Turkey has become a more competitive production hub for Europe and the US.
What is Parkurda.com?
In response to Tepe’s question about Tezmaksan’s goal with the platform, Aydoğdu explained:
Parkurda.com is a B2B networking platform where companies seeking subcontracting services can connect with firms offering manufacturing capacity.
Why it was needed:
-
Supply chain disruptions from the pandemic changed traditional business models
-
Many companies had idle machines, while others had excess demand but lacked investment capacity
-
Parkurda.com connects these businesses, optimizing production capacity
Developed over three years, the platform’s launch was accelerated due to the pandemic and the rise in financial uncertainty.
Key Takeaway: Instead of investing in new machinery, companies can utilize idle capacity through Parkurda.com.
Machine Leasing Demand is Increasing
Firms that secure new orders via Parkurda.com are now seeking machine leasing options.
Why?
-
Investment hesitation due to economic uncertainty
-
Leasing offers a flexible alternative for growth
-
Tezmaksan’s machine leasing service is seeing rising demand
Phase Two: Addressing the Skilled Labor Shortage
The next phase of Parkurda.com will tackle one of the industry’s biggest challenges—skilled labor shortages.
What’s coming?
Parkurda.com is not just a subcontracting platform—it’s evolving into an industrial workforce solution.
Global Expansion: Taking Turkey’s Machining Power to the World
Parkurda.com’s language integration is nearly complete.
In January, the platform will launch in the US and Europe.

Goal: Boost Turkey’s export economy by facilitating B2B matchmaking between foreign buyers and Turkish manufacturers.
Supporting SMEs & Strengthening Supply Chains
One of the key benefits of Parkurda.com is optimizing local supply chains.
How does it help SMEs?
-
Companies list their production capacity
-
Businesses post job requests, and local suppliers can fulfill them
-
Firms realize many imported parts can be sourced locally
-
Idle capacity gets utilized, reducing production costs
Parkurda.com transforms inefficiencies into business opportunities.
Automotive & Defense Industries Shift from Asia to Turkey
The pandemic has shifted supply chains in Turkey’s favor.
-
Many European firms are relocating production from China to Turkey
-
Rising labor costs in Asia make Turkey more competitive
-
Machining sector investments have increased by 35% (in USD terms)
Tezmaksan foresees this trend continuing, particularly in precision industries like tooling and general machinery manufacturing.
Automation & Robotics: The Future of Turkish Manufacturing
Aydoğdu emphasized that automation is no longer an option but a necessity.
-
In Europe & the US, companies are shifting to robotics to reduce labor dependency
-
Turkey must adopt automation to stay competitive
-
Parkurda.com helps SMEs transition by making automation accessible
Industrial automation demand has grown 4X in Turkey, but investment is still catching up.
