Potain’s reputation for best-in-class tower cranes combined with the experience and service of local dealer AHS Vinç have delivered a market-leading position for both companies in the country. As AHS Vinç celebrates five years of collaboration with Potain, we spoke with co-founder Sinan Tureyen, to learn more about the company’s impressive journey.
Potain has been represented in Turkey via local partners since 1995, helping the brand establish a strong presence. In 2019, Manitowoc appointed AHS Vinç as Potain’s exclusive dealer for Turkey, kickstarting a new and exciting new chapter.
AHS Vinç has cemented a market-leading position for Potain tower cranes in Turkey, and much of that is down to the extensive experience of the company’s co-founder, Sinan Tureyen. He’s used his many years of industry knowledge to uphold Potain's legacy of excellence in the Turkish infrastructure market and build a successful business in AHS Vinç.
Supporting success
Strong service and support have been instrumental in establishing and maintaining Potain’s status as the leading crane brand in Turkey. The company runs a comprehensive training program to ensure all technicians receive the required knowledge and expertise for the complete range of Potain cranes.
"Investing in continuous learning for our service team has been central to our success. From our team of 22, 12 are dedicated service personnel, and they are the best-equipped in Turkey to handle any tower crane challenge. Our customers rely on us for outstanding service and support, particularly with major infrastructure projects. Delivering that peace of mind helps maintain Potain as the #1 crane brand in Turkey," explains Sinan Tureyen.
Commitment to excellence
AHS Vinç provides complete coverage across the country and offers both sales and rental. This flexibility allows clients to choose the most suitable solution for their projects.
Currently, the MCT 275 is the most popular choice in the country. It’s available in both 10 t and 12 t versions, but in Turkey, the 10 t version is the preferred choice. With up to 70 m of jib available, its adaptability, versatility, and reliability make it suited to multiple construction and infrastructure needs.
As the leading tower crane supplier in Turkey, Potain cranes from AHS Vinç have worked on some of Turkey's most impressive infrastructure projects of recent years, including:
The Boyabat Dam on the Kızılırmak River.
Post-earthquake reconstruction effort in 2023 in Hatay and Malatya City.
The Sazlidere Bridge, part of a major $15 billion canal project.
And the spectacular, award-winning Nissibe Bridge.
Towards new heights
The past five years of collaboration have been hugely successful for AHS Vinç and Potain, expanding into new markets and introducing innovative tower crane solutions.
AHS Vinç is completely invested in the industry, taking a team of people to tour the Manitowoc factory in Zhangjiagang, China, in late 2023 and hosting a Customer Appreciation Day to strengthen its growing network in Turkey. To top off a highly successful year in 2023, AHS Vinç received special recognition from Manitowoc for its strong turnover, underlining the company’s performance and dedication.
"The quality and productivity of Potain cranes opens a lot of doors for us, but our success also stems from investing in people and expertise. At AHS Vinç, we believe in empowering our team, giving them the skills they need to provide exceptional service and solutions. This commitment to continuous learning is really what ensures our team remains at the forefront of the infrastructure and construction industries,” says Sinan.
