ATech Joins Forces with Murat Machine
ATech Machine has signed an agreement with Murat Machine of Turkey to represent its line of window and door equipment in the North American market for window and door machinery and equipment.

A manufacturer of vinyl machinery since 1983, Murat Machine operates an 85,000-square-foot facility in Istanbul, where it has a staff of approximately 150 people. In the past three years alone, Murat Machine has manufactured and sold more than 4,800 machines of various types, and its annual sales are in excess of $20 million, reports Murat Cil, president of ATech. With a full research and development department, the company uses the latest technology available, he says. Its line features fully automated four-point welders and CNC corner cleaners. 

ATech Machine was started six years ago and has focused on equipment for small- and medium-sized window and door manufacturers, Cil reports. The company is recognized for its wide range of machinery, equipment and tooling at competitive prices and for providing attentive after-sales service, he adds.

ATech continues to invest in its operations, employing additional technical service engineers, expanding its existing business facilities and establishing dealerships throughout North America, Cil notes. “With this new joint venture with Murat Machine, ATech Machine has now completed its product range up to the automated systems, pushing forward to be the top machinery supplier in the North American market.”

The two companies will display their equipment together at the upcoming GlassBuild America show in Atlanta.
