(MENAFN- Market Press Release) November 6, 2025 2:40 am - Mitsubishi Electric and Prometeon Drive 'Made in Turkey' as Europe's Preferred Advanced Manufacturing Hub, TradeInt Reveals

The latest Turkey trade data-backed insights from TradeInt reveal that Turkey is rapidly cementing its status as Europe's leading advanced manufacturing hub, driven by major industrial producers focusing on high-tech and specialized goods. The analysis of Turkey's top exporters highlights a significant and successful shift toward Industry 4.0 production models and deep integration into high-demand European supply chains.

The Technology Transfer Advantage
The data strongly validates the success of international capital investment in Turkey's production capability. Mitsubishi Electric Turkey Klima Sistemleri Üretim Anonim?irketi emerged as a centerpiece of this trend, recording US$180.35 million in exports of advanced air conditioning and heating systems.

Mitsubishi's Manisa factory, built under the e-F@ctory Industry 4.0 model, is a clear indicator of this strategic direction. The facility is the company's first home air conditioner production hub in Europe, designed for optimal efficiency, automation, and eco-friendly production. Its success is immediately reflected in its export destinations: the company's European market penetration is deep, with top destinations including France, Spain, and Italy absorbing the bulk of its high-tech output.

This focus on HVAC technology and heat pumps directly aligns with global trends toward greener, smarter residential and commercial solutions. The company's announced US$113 million expansion, set to boost the annual output of air-to-water heat pumps to 300,000 units and home air conditioners to 1.1 million units, further solidifies Turkey's role as the major production engine for sophisticated climate control systems in the European market.

Specialised Industrial Dominance
The specialization trend is equally evident in heavy industrial goods. Prometeon Turkey Endüstriyel ve Ticari Lastikler Anonim?irketi achieved US$150.72 million in exports, primarily from new pneumatic tires for buses and lorries. This high-value, highly concentrated product portfolio demonstrates an essential function in the global logistics network.

Crucially, Europe absorbed more than US$106.9 million of Prometeon's exports, accounting for nearly three-quarters of its international sales, with Germany, Italy, and Slovakia leading the buyer list. This high volume of specialized, mandatory components confirms that global supply chains depend on Turkey for quality, high-performance industrial inputs.

A Credible and Mature Export Base
Even packaging and components are showing sophisticated performance. FPS Turkey Ambalaj Sanayi ve Ticaret Anonim Sirketi, with US$94.48 million in exports, showcases Turkey's capabilities in producing specialized polymer sacks and advanced plastic packaging materials, essential for safeguarding global shipments of agricultural and industrial products.

"The investment in facilities like Mitsubishi's Manisa factory, built on the Industry 4.0 model, is not just about capacity; it's about signaling a commitment to high-quality, high-tech manufacturing," said Tommy, TradeInt Chief Operating Officer. "The export success in specialized areas like HVAC and commercial tires demonstrates that sophisticated global buyers now view Turkey as a reliable extension of the European manufacturing block."
