The name ESTAŞ is a Turkish acronym for Ekstantrik Sanayı ve Ticaret Anonim Şirketi. Translated into English, it stands for
Camshaft Industry and Trading Company Incorporated. The last S in ESTAÅž actually has a tail on it, or a cedilla.
This is indicated by the little dot beneath the S in our logo. This morpheme is pronounced sh in the Turkish language. So in Turkey, we pronounce our name as Estash. But in
the West, we simply say Estas.
The Turkish expression for camshaft is eksantrik mili, which literally means eccentric shaft.

Estas Camshaft was established in 1973 in Sivas, Turkey, by Turkish engineers who worked at German automotive companies such as BMW and Mercedes in the late sixties and early seventies.
It was the very first producer of automotive camshafts established in Turkey.
With German engineering expertise and machinery, the Estas Founders were quickly able to earn a reputation for producing quality camshafts at a competitive price, helping establish
Turkey's fledgling automotive industry. Estas Camshaft was able to expand rapidly to become the predominant supplier of automotive camshafts for the domestic market. It was also
among the very first Turkish manufacturers to establish itself credibly in the export market, capable of meeting the quality requirements of the West, but at a more competitive
price.
Today, Estas Camshaft is Turkey's largest automotive camshaft producer, with facilities occupying over 300,000 square feet of buildings over 26 acres of land. The facilities include a
foundry that specializes in chill-casting, and a machining plant that features the most recent equipment and technologies for producing many varieties of camshafts for modern engines.
Estas produces camshafts for passenger car, performance racing, motorcycle, diesel, marine, and locomotive applications, for customers world-wide. |
