Welcome, I am Atakan Durmaz 👋
I am a mechanical engineer with a master’s degree, living in Kırşehir and a proud father. I have approximately 8.5 years of experience in the tyre industry, with a primary focus on tyres for agricultural and construction equipment.
I started my career at Petlas in 2017, where I worked as a product development engineer, team leader, and later chief. In 2023, I joined Galileo Wheel and gained valuable international experience. Since September 2025, I have been continuing my career at Petlas as Chief of Agricultural Tire Construction Development.
Alongside my engineering career, I am also involved in web design and e-commerce. I aim to establish my own e-commerce venture and build long-term, trust-based collaborations that create mutual value.
I enjoy combining technical knowledge with teamwork and continuously learning to develop solutions that create value for both the industry and my business partners.
