ASAŞ is responding to the complex design requirements of highly engineered industries, particularly rail systems, with its 150 MN extrusion press investment, enabling the production of large-scale, long-length aluminum profiles.
One of Türkiye’s leading industrial companies, ASAŞ showcased its manufacturing capabilities for the rail systems and mobility sectors at InnoTrans 2026, one of the world’s leading international trade fairs for transport technology. Held in Berlin from September 22–25, the event provided ASAŞ with an opportunity to present its latest production capabilities in large-scale aluminum profiles, with a particular focus on its 150 MN extrusion press, to international industry professionals.
New Production Capacity for Large-Scale Profiles with a 150 MN Extrusion Press
With its 150 MN extrusion press investment, one of the highest-capacity extrusion presses in Europe, ASAŞ can manufacture large cross-section, single-piece profiles up to 670 mm in height, 1,000 mm in width and 30 meters in length. The system also enables the production of seamless tubes with diameters of up to 550 mm, offering high-strength, weld-free solutions for applications exposed to high pressure, heavy mechanical loads and safety-critical operating conditions.
This extensive production capability supports projects requiring high strength and tight tolerances across a range of industries, particularly rail systems and rolling stock, as well as automotive, aerospace and energy. By reducing the need for joining and welding operations, these solutions enable lighter structures and more robust, reliable designs.
ASAŞ Strengthens Global Competitiveness in Rail Systems
Aluminum solutions that deliver high performance and energy efficiency are at the heart of modern rail system designs. With its advanced manufacturing capabilities and end-to-end engineering expertise, ASAŞ continues to position itself as a strategic solution partner for international rail projects.
With the commissioning of its 150 MN extrusion press, ASAŞ has taken its manufacturing capabilities to a new level. The company not only manufactures the large-scale profiles required by the rail systems industry, but also integrates its casting processes with 5-axis CNC machining, advanced welding and final sub-assembly capabilities. This end-to-end infrastructure makes ASAŞ one of the few facilities worldwide capable of manufacturing complete train bodies under one roof.
Equipped with advanced manufacturing technologies, ASAŞ can perform 5-axis CNC machining on profiles up to 30 meters in length and robotic welding on production lines extending up to 120 meters. The company also precisely completes critical sub-assemblies, including floor, roof and side panels.
With its ability to machine profiles up to 30 meters in length using 5-axis CNC technology and operate robotic welding lines extending up to 120 meters, ASAŞ manufactures large-scale structural body components with high precision. Managing all these processes within a single facility enables ASAŞ to provide turnkey solutions to global manufacturers, helping reduce supply chain risks and shorten lead times.
