Turk Mechanical is focusing on upgrading machinery and technical and trading skills to generate business and provide momentum to turnover.

“We recently installed our second CNC waterjet cutting machine and two more CNC milling and CNC lathe machines,” said company coordinator Jaganmohan J.

The company has a sandblasting facility with a dust collection system and a semi-automated sand reclamation system for casting, he said.

Turk Mechanical specalises in light and heavy fabrication including structural steel fabrication and erection, technical contracting, waterjet cutting, CNC milling and CNC lathe work, foundry work, machine shop work and engine rebuilding.

The company reported a turnover of BD2.35 million ($6.23 million) in 2009 and the projected turnover for 2010 is BD1.7 million, Jaganmohan said in early December.

“As in the case of small and big companies across the world, Turk Mechanical felt the effects of the financial crisis. But thanks to our contingency plans we were able to handle the crisis. Our business has not been affected too much since we offer a wide range of services and have a very big clientele.

“We are expecting more overseas projects during the next few months and hope 2011 will be an excellent year.”

Over the years the company has exported cast and fabricated items to GCC states. It is proud to have completed important projects including Aluminium Bahrain’s Line 5 expansion, a project for Iceland’s Fjardal Aluminium and the setting up of the Sohar Aluminium plant in Oman.

“We have also successfully completed many cold shutdown projects for major plants in Bahrain,” Jaganmohan said.

The company’s main shareholders are Ali Jalil Turk (chairman), Khalid Turk (managing director) and Waheed Akbar (excutive director).
