Arma Clamps & Clips

Blue Ocean of Industry Leading Players: Arma Clamps & Clips

ARMA CLAMPS & CLIPS was founded in 1980 as a molding workshop and served for only mould production during its first years,. As this growth went on, the company began clamp and clips production. It manufactures clamps, clips, nuts, and custom work metal fasteners mostly for the automotive and home appliances sectors. Currently 40% of revenue comes from exports. Sector distributions are automotive (40%), home appliance (30%) and 30% for other industries like agriculture, marine, defence and construction.

Our major market currently is automotive. We serve directly to OEMs like Daimler, Fiat and Tier-1 companies of VW, Hyundai and Renault. We plan to move our production line to our new plant of 6,600 m2 closed area this year. From the design in the CAD environment to processing in the precise CNC machinery in the CAM environment, we use entirely our own resources and personnel. Therefore, the desired quality is achieved at lower costs in shorter periods. We received the ISO 9001:2000 quality certificate in 2002 and ISO/TS 16949 quality system certificate in 2008. We plan to deal with worlwide distributor companies related with fastener and fixing technology.

We have two products for emerging markets: DIN 3016-1 retaining clamp used for fixing hydraulic pipes, hoses and cables especially in application areas of hose clamps and pipe clamps and the other is DIN 3017-2 hose clamp used also an alternative to worm drive clamps on high pressure hose fitting applications.

By its qualified technical staff, the company carried out several R&D studies and projects. In clamps division, welding operation of DIN 3017-2 hose clamps was replaced with mechanical riveting system as the inner support part combining operation and this process development was registered as a utility model with the Turkish Patent Institute. In metal clips division, the special fixing spring part manufactured with progressive mold for home appliance industry was adapted to automatic metal forming machine and cost advantage was realized, thereby preventing the import of this part. R&D project supported by TUBITAK (Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey) for developing an automation line for the production of DIN 3016-1 and DIN 3017-2 pipe and hose clamps was completed successfully.

Exporting its products to different parts of the world from Europe to South America, ARMA CLAMPS & CLIPS attends domestic and overseas fairs in order to widen its customer portfolio.
