Tofaş

Tofaş: The Industrial Heart of Turkey Tofaş (Türk Otomobil Fabrikası A.Ş.) is a cornerstone of the Turkish automotive industry and one of the most significant manufacturing hubs in Europe. Established in 1968 as a joint venture between Koç Holding and Fiat (now Stellantis), Tofaş has grown from a local assembler into a global R&D and production powerhouse. Based in Bursa, its factory is one of the few in the world capable of producing passenger cars and light commercial vehicles under the same roof. Tofaş is best known as the home of the Fiat Egea (known as the Tipo in Europe/Dodge Neon in Mexico). This model family was largely developed by Tofaş engineers and is exported to over 80 countries. Beyond manufacturing, Tofaş possesses extensive R&D capabilities, contributing significantly to the engineering of Stellantis’ global platforms. The company has also manufactured iconic models like the “Bird Series” (Serçe, Şahin, Doğan) which mobilized Turkey for decades. Manufacturing Excellence Gold Standard: The Bursa plant holds “Gold Level” status in World Class Manufacturing (WCM). Export Power: A major contributor to the Turkish economy, exporting hundreds of thousands of units annually. Innovation: Continuously investing in digital transformation and sustainable production methods. Tofaş is more than a factory; it is a symbol of Turkish industrial capability, bridging Europe and Asia with high-quality automotive production. Visit Tofaş Corporate
