Who Are We?
REFSAN INDUSTRIAL FURNACE AND MACHINERY INDUSTRY TRADE INC. was established in 1992 in Kütahya, known as the ceramic and porcelain capital of Turkey.
In the more than thirty years since its establishment, it has developed high-tech production equipment for the ceramic and glass sectors, becoming a brand synonymous with trust and quality in the industry.
REFSAN specializes in the design and production of machinery needed at every stage of the ceramic production process, such as industrial furnaces, pottery wheels, clay processing machines, drying systems, mills, mixers, filter presses, and ram presses. Today, it operates with over 100 expert personnel in modern production facilities covering an indoor area of over 13,000 m².
REFSAN is not only a manufacturer but also a technology and education brand offering integrated solutions. It provides a wide range of consultancy services, from turnkey ceramic workshop installations to instructor training, curriculum support, and maintenance services.
To date, more than 5,000 institutions all over Turkey, including public schools, universities, art centers, and private workshops, have been equipped with REFSAN's quality assurance.
The presence of REFSAN equipment in 7 out of every 10 ceramic workshops clearly demonstrates the brand's leadership in the Turkish education market.
Embracing the motto "Technology realizes art," REFSAN aims to carry the thousand-year-old ceramic culture into the future. Under the visionary leadership of Chairman of the Board Gökhan Karaaslan, it continues to be a carrier of not only machinery production but also culture and art.
International Footprint
REFSAN has carried its success in Turkey to international markets. It exports to Europe, Russia, the Middle East, and the Americas through its foreign subsidiaries, such as Refsan Georgia and the Netherlands-based REFSAN Holding B.V.
The company increases its global brand awareness by actively participating in international fairs like CERAMITEC in Germany. It delivers Turkish-made products to the world through its dealer network in France, Russia, Azerbaijan, Kuwait, Algeria, and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.
Brand Power and Prestige
REFSAN is one of the deep-rooted and pioneering brands in the field of ceramic and heat treatment technologies in Turkey. Operating in a wide range of areas—from industrial furnace technologies to custom production systems for the defense industry, from high-capacity production facilities to turnkey factory installations—it is positioned not just as an equipment manufacturer, but as a strategic production partner.
With its engineering strength, R&D investments, customer-oriented production approach, and sustainable quality policy, REFSAN has become the reputable representative of domestic production. Many public institutions, universities, production facilities, and industrial establishments in Turkey prefer REFSAN furnaces for production processes that require high efficiency and safety.
Furthermore, REFSAN has materialized the importance it attaches to art and education through its sub-brand, Ceramingo. Ceramingo aims to bring ceramics into every aspect of life with products and solutions specially developed for children, youth, artists, and hobbyists.
From workshop sets to ceramic paints, from educational support to event concepts, Ceramingo has become one of Turkey's most recognized brands in the hobby and art sector.
This dual brand structure makes REFSAN a strong and versatile player in both heavy industry and the education/hobby sectors. Both brands hold high prestige in their respective fields, successfully representing the concepts of "technology with ceramics" and "creativity with ceramics."
Thanks to this dual vision, REFSAN maintains its privileged position in the sector through both its industrial achievements and its contributions to society, pushing its boundaries further every single day.
