This project, carried out by the Aydın Machinery and Metal Exporters Cluster with the support of the Ministry of Trade of the Republic of Turkey, aims to bring together strong companies operating in the machinery and metal sector in Aydın to create a competitive ecosystem in the global market.
Known for its economy based on agriculture, livestock, and small-scale production during the Republican era, Aydın has become one of the rising stars of the Aegean region since the 1980s, thanks to private sector investments, its developing industry, and the dynamism brought by modern trade. Today, growing day by day with a vision of becoming a modern world city, Aydın stands out not only for its agricultural wealth but also for its industrial and export capacity.
With a population of over 1.1 million, Aydın is one of Turkey's most important production centers. Its strategic location in the Izmir-Denizli-Muğla triangle and its ease of transportation have made it the economic and commercial center of attraction for the region.
In recent years, Aydın has gained significant momentum in development, with strong investments being made in many sectors, particularly machinery, metal, olive oil and food processing, energy, marble, and agricultural technologies. The machinery and metal industries, in particular, form the backbone of the city's industrial strength.
Aydın is one of Turkey's most fertile provinces. A national leader in fig, olive, chestnut, and citrus production, Aydın is also a key player in processing technologies. This wealth has led to specialization in olive oil facilities and agricultural machinery within the machinery manufacturing sector.
Today, Aydın exports hundreds of millions of dollars with more than 377 exporting companies and has gained a strong position in the European, Middle Eastern, African, and Asian markets. It is also among Turkey's leading provinces in terms of energy consumption in the industrial sector.
Aydın also attracts attention with its nature, history, and cultural heritage; stretching from Didim to Kuşadası, and from Aphrodisias to Tralleis, it is on its way to becoming a prominent center for tourism with its accumulated civilization.
This is Aydın...
Turkey's rising star in production and exports,
The fertile lands of the Aegean and the new center of attraction for industry.
