Company Profile
Gözüyılmaz is a marine engineering company, which was established in 1996 for answering technical and mechanical requirements of merchant and naval ships, operating in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea, particularly in the Aegean region. Since then, we have been conducting word-class engineering, marine construction, repairing and project management services. We are now a second generation family business, with reputable engineers and qualified technicians; many with 20 years + hands on experience in the industry.
Starting with the steel replacement and repair, Gözüyılmaz expanded its service range to construction of work boats, pontoons, barges, jetties and alike floating steel structures as well as block construction of ships and boats. Then gradually we have focused on building governmental vessels particularly on fast patrol boats for law enforcement institutions. As a flexible family company we have invested aluminum, hdpe and GRP manufacturing hangars and built more than 150 platforms so far. Given the circumstances we have restructured our construction department under a new brand an a company which is owned 100% by Gözüyılmaz, namely Izmir Shipyard (izmirshipyard.com).
Since the very beginning, the company has adopted constant quality principles, used highly skilled labor, latest and the most environmentally friendly technologies in addition to its standard post-contract-guarantee service. In time, Gözüyılmaz become an increasingly reliable player in the region and expanded its business as primary contractor to a wide range of private and state owned customers.
Together with rapid economic developments in Maritime industry in Turkey as well as in near geographies, Gözüyılmaz has restructured its consultation capability, and started sharing its knowledge and expertise with overseas companies under TDP scheme (technical data package).
In 2000s, Gözüyılmaz expanded its constant operations towards Middle Eastern and Caucasus Regions and become service supplier and solution provider of major global players particularly in defence, energy and offshore industries. In addition to its marine constructions operations at home, for such major players, Gözüyılmaz conducts world class project management, quality control and quality assurance engineering, structural analysis, surveys and alike marine engineering services globally.
