We went one step further and got our 15085-2 railway vehicles manufacturing certificate ”.
We Develop Products Focused on Customer Needs in Our R&D Center
Mr Öztaş highlighted that they entered the cooling industry in 2016 and added “Since 2017, we have been producing commercial type coolers with the Greencooler brand.

About 25 of our small laboratory type machines are used in the market. At the end of this year, we will launch small industrial machines with a daily capacity of 150 kilograms. In the sixth month of 2021, we will produce 350, 600 at the end of 2021, and in 2022, we will complete all series in two years.

I can say that we are number one in medical cabinets with price-quality parity ”.
