BEST

Founded by the Yırcalı Family in Balıkesir in 1966, Balıkesir Elektromekanik Sanayi Tesisleri A.Ş. (BEST) is Turkey’s first high voltage transformer manufacturer established with 100% domestic capital. Our company, which started its production in its facilities in Balıkesir Heavy Industry Zone, today serves in Balıkesir Organized Industrial Zone with its investments made over the years and new facilities equipped with high technology.

With 170,000 m2 production area and 50,000 MVA production capacity, BEST, one of the leading transformer manufacturers in Turkey and the region, has turned into a global company by exporting more than 50 percent of its production to more than 85 countries. Our company, which serves many areas such as the world’s leading electricity institutions, iron and steel producers, oil and gas companies, solar and wind energy projects, increases its export rate every year.

In 2010, BEST established BEST Elektrik Taahhüt ve Ticaret A.Ş (BETAŞ) and started to offer turnkey solution partnership to its customers by stepping into the energy contracting business. Thus, it continues to work in the field of voltage electrical contracting in Europe, Balkans, Middle East and North Africa, especially in Turkey.

Taking rapid steps towards globalization, BEST aims to carry its knowledge and experience to international markets by establishing a production facility abroad in the coming period.

BEST, which has broken many grounds in the electromechanical sector with its R&D and technological investments, creates economic, environmental and social value under the roof of sustainability in the ecosystem created with more than 1,000 employees today.
