ABP TDS Becomes a Solution Partner for Over 1,000 Turbines as a Key Internal Component Manufacturer
ABP TDS meets the robust requirements of the wind energy sector by producing high-quality internal components for turbines. The company has become a solution partner for over 1,000 turbines by the provision of solutions to industry giants.
ABP TDS took its first step into the industry in 1999 in İzmir, Türkiye. In 2012, the company significantly expanded its operations with a new facility, equipment, and a growing workforce in the Akhisar Organized Industrial Zone. By 2016, ABP TDS entered the energy sector and has since successfully manufactured welded and non-welded internal and external components for wind turbines, including steel, stainless steel, and aluminum products. These products are carried out in state-of-the-art machine parks under the supervision of expert teams, serving globally operating, industry-leading energy companies.
ABP TDS holds many certifications recognized across all European Union (EU) countries, demonstrating the company’s compliance with international standards. In addition to ISO 9001, ISO 45001, ISO 14001, TS EN ISO 3834, and TS EN 1090 certifications, the company also holds the certification for the qualification of manufacturers of steel and aluminum structures, which came into effect on January 1, 2011, verifying the competence of manufacturers producing these structures.
Among its references, ABP TDS counts Nordex, Enercon, Vestas, Siemens, Cswind, GRI, and Çimtaş. Recognized for its success across various sectors, the company has been manufacturing welded and non-welded steel, stainless steel, and aluminum internal and external tower components for over 1,000 wind turbines globally since 2016.
Guided by the motto “Reliability is not claimed, it is earned,” ABP TDS aims to become one of the leading companies, achieving the highest market share in its target industries. By 2025, with a production capacity reaching up to 80 sections per week, the company will continue its rapid growth as a global solution partner in the energy sector.

Berdan Cıvata, a provider of critical fasteners for over 3,000 wind energy projects worldwide, produces high-strength anchor cages, tower assembly bolts, and blade studs, covering essential components, from the foundation to the blades. We remain an approved supplier in global markets for seven of the world’s top 10 wind turbine manufacturers.
Founded in 1980 by Mechanical Engineers Hasan and Yunus Şemsi in a 150 m² workshop in Tarsus, Mersin, Berdan has experienced significant growth over the years. In 2000, we relocated to our first factory, spanning 5,000 m² in the Mersin- Tarsus Organized Industrial Zone, with a team of 25, including two engineers. Today, we operate in facilities covering 48,000 m², with 28,000 m² dedicated to indoor production. Our team now includes over 60 engineers and approximately 400 employees, and we continue to be a trusted partner for high-strength and critical fasteners.
Our capabilities include machining, rolling, threading, heat treatment, and various surface treatment processes such as patented hot-dip galvanizing, electro-galvanizing, zinc flake, and Teflon coatings. These treatments are conducted in our state-of-the-art surface treatment facilities. Products are rigorously tested in our industry-leading, accredited test laboratory before being delivered to our clients.
Our products have been pivotal to some of the world’s most significant infrastructure projects. We provided the 10-meter-long, 700 kg anchors that support the towers of Europe’s second-longest suspension bridge, Osmangazi, and the world’s longest suspension bridge, the 1915 Çanakkale Bridge. For the Anamur-Cyprus Peace Water Project, we provided B7/2H grade bolts with a 100-year corrosion resistance for the 80 km pipeline running 250 meters underwater. Additionally, we supplied over 800 tons of fasteners for the Kuwait International Airport project and all fasteners for the 93,000-seat Lusail Stadium, the venue for 10 matches, including the final, of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
As the only Turkish company, our journey into the wind energy sector began in 2008 when we participated in the Wind Energy Fair in Husum, Germany. This marked the start of our collaboration with global wind energy giants. Today, we have supplied fasteners for over 3,000 wind turbine projects worldwide. Our clients include renowned names, such as GE from the USA, Nordex and Enercon from Germany, Vestas from Denmark, Siemens from Spain, and Goldwind from China. We have also provided fasteners for the Konya-Karapınar project, Europe’s largest solar power plant, with a capacity of approximately 1,550 MW.
In addition to supporting green energy, we harness natural resources to meet our own energy needs, sourcing 53% of our requirements from our 2.5 MW rooftop solar power plants. Our goal is to increase this to 90% in the future.
Load-holding safety couplings fulfil an important task. They temporarily limit the load if the torque exceeds a limit and an overload can cause damage. However, the problem is that it often remains unclear which conditions have led to an overload and how often a slipping event has occurred.
This is exactly where our KTR slipping control system comes in: It logs every slipping process in order to recognize critical operating states and assign them to slipping events.
How does it work?
The system tracks when a slipping event has occurred, how many degrees and revolutions at which speed the coupling has slipped.
This data is not only crucial for servicing, but also enables preventive maintenance by recognizing when the slipping element should be replaced by summing up the Innovation from KTR: Slip Control System! individual slipping events.
The data is stored in the small box and can be conveniently accessed and analysed via app from your smartphone – anytime, anywhere.
