Engine cooling components and OEM supplier for global automotive
Kirpart manufactures engine cooling system components (thermostats, water/oil pumps) for major automotive OEMs. The company runs a manufacturing-heavy stack—ANSYS Maxwell, Altium Designer, CANoe/CANalyzer, ARM Cortex-M—aligned with embedded motor design work and prototype validation. Active projects around electric motor designs and motor driver PCBs signal a shift toward electrification, while pain points clustered around supplier performance, logistics cost, and supply-chain continuity reflect the operational complexity of a high-export OEM supplier.
Kirpart A.S. is a Turkish engine component manufacturer founded in 1969, headquartered in Bursa with production facilities in Orhangazi. The company supplies cooling system components (thermostats, pumps) to global automotive OEMs including Ford, VW, PSA, and Renault. Roughly 90% of production serves OEM contracts, with 70% of sales from exports to Europe, Brazil, and China. A Shanghai trade office has operated since January 2013. The company employs 501–1,000 people and is actively hiring across engineering, logistics, and operations roles in Turkey.
Kirpart uses ANSYS Maxwell, Altium Designer, AutoCAD, and Eagle for motor and PCB design; CANoe and CANalyzer for embedded testing; and ARM Cortex-M for motor controllers.
Current projects include new electric motor designs, motor driver PCB design, prototype production support, and a mass production defect elimination initiative, alongside supplier performance and maintenance program work.
