Intecro commissioned robotic assembly lines with a total length of 120 meters for the production of Turkey’s first domestically manufactured aluminum passenger wagon. In 2018, the company was shortlisted in the top 3 in the “Technology Selection” category at an international competition organized by the research company I-NOVO, competing among 15,000 industrial firms and 500,000 products.

Following the completion of its engineering campus, integration, and production facilities in Akyurt, Intecro transitioned to its new headquarters. The company formalized its status as a joint-stock company and inaugurated a new board of directors guided by a visionary outlook. Leveraging a capital increase and strategic focus on international markets, Intecro executed its first export to Croatia, marking its entry into the European market.

Robital A.Ş. was founded with the strategic objective of manufacturing standardized catalog products tailored for the robotics sector, encompassing external axes, positioners, sliders, gantry robots, and a range of robot peripheral units. All operations in this domain were formally transferred to Robital A.Ş. While Intecro Robotik maintained its focus on project development, engineering, R&D, and integration activities, Robital assumed responsibility for the production of catalog-based robotic equipment. During the same year, the company received several Technological Product Awards and was officially awarded the Investment Incentive Certificate.

Intecro showcased Turkey’s first locally developed “Pillar Gantry Robot” for high-volume welding processes at the Tüyap Machinery Fair. Subsequently, the system gained recognition as the preferred solution among producers of agricultural machinery, construction equipment, cranes, and other industrial machines.

Intecro Robotik took the strategic decision to broaden its activities in the industrial sector. The company designed and commissioned Turkey’s first domestically developed Robotics-Based Diesel Engine Assembly and FMS Line at Erkunt A.Ş. Following expansions in 2010 and 2011, Intecro increased the total area dedicated to its engineering and integration operations to 1,000 m².

Having reached a level of business capacity that exceeded the capabilities of the technopark for prototype production, mechanical manufacturing, and integration needs, Intecro Robotik Ltd. Şti. relocated to a 500 m² engineering and manufacturing unit in Ostim. From this facility, the company executed both commercial and R&D-driven projects in the field of industrial robotics.

In parallel with their academic roles as lecturers at the Institute of Nanomedicine and Advanced Technologies, the founding partners initiated R&D activities in medical robotics through their technopark-based startup, Intecro Robotik Ltd. Şti. Within this scope, several innovative projects led to significant inventions. Notably, Turkey’s first Vision-Based Micro Electromechanical Sterilization System was successfully commercialized as an outcome of the research conducted during this period.

The company name and legal title, previously Refleks Robotics Ltd. Şti., was officially changed to Intecro Robotik Ltd. Şti. In the same year, the academic research team, which included the founding partners, developed the KN2 Robotic Diagnostic System and the High-Speed DNA Sampling Kit designed for the detection and diagnosis of Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever.

At the invitation of the State Planning Organization, the founding partners relocated from Istanbul to Ankara, where they engaged in academic research in the field of NEMS/MEMS (Nano/Micro Electromechanical Systems) at the Institute of Nanomedicine and Advanced Technologies. During this period, Refleks Robotik temporarily carried on its operations within the Technopark under Gazi University.

Project operations were launched following business agreements established with leading Japanese and German robot manufacturing companies.

The company’s initial R&D endeavors focused on the Stewart platform and delta robot technologies, leading to the production of its first prototypes in 2007.

Prior to commencing its commercial activities under the corporate name Intecro Robotik A.Ş., the founders of Intecro initially established operations in Istanbul under the name Refleks Robotik Ltd. Şti.. The company pursued its business activities by developing delta robot-based packaging and assembly solutions tailored for industrial applications.
