Our Firsts

We have innovated by designing and patenting six distinct models of folded containers that feature versatile folding capabilities, including both vertical and horizontal orientations. These models not only save on storage and logistics but also revolutionizing the sector with their practicality. The Vekonar model received the prestigious Design Turkey Good Design Award in 2012.

We adopted Kaizen, lean production system that enhances quality, reduces costs, and improves delivery performance by increasing production speed and streamlining the flow process, in our container production. The Kaizen system facilitates the production of containers in the shortest possible time. Utilizing rail system container assembly lines, we provide the opportunity to achieve production speeds significantly higher than those of our competitors.

Thanks to the struts and diagonals that we have developed as a result of our P&D studies and whose patent belongs to us, we can make container and prefabricated structures multi-storey and ensure the resistance of these building systems against snow, wind and earthquake with accurate calculations. Additional pillars and diagonals meet both dynamic and static loads, making these structures suitable for different climates and regions. In other words, a container produced for hot climates can also be used in cold regions with additional uprights and diagonals.

In 2018, we achieved our inaugural know-how export in our sector in Turkey, establishing a cutting-edge factory in Afghanistan for prefabricated building production. During this period, we provided a two-month training program for the Afghan technical team on prefabricated building manufacturing and assembly. We also offered a one-year technical consultancy post-factory opening.

Neopan is a fully automated wall production line, developed in 2009 through extensive research and development efforts, featuring expansions tailored specifically for prefabricated buildings. Buildings employing 1.25 cm wide composite or sandwich panels, produced in a fully automatic panel line, are crafted using Neopan Panel System technology. These panels offer optimal insulation values for various climate types and boast a rapid installation process.

Living container corner spheres, which we developed and whose patent belongs to us, connect the containers to each other with the help of our special fasteners during the assembly phase in the field. When the containers come side by side or on top of each other, buildings are formed by connecting them with connection elements from the sphere connection points. In addition, corner spheres help us gain advantages in storage and logistics, thanks to the special packaging system by connecting demounted containers to each other with fasteners in international shipments.

In 2000, we debuted the lightweight steel building system in Turkey for the first time by building lightweight steel house with weldless construction technology by using roll-form machines. Since then, this building system has become the preference for public and private institutions, as well as individual users. Lightweight Steel Building technology facilitates the rapid realization of the project and static calculation processes through specially developed software and technological prowess in production.

In 2019, we established the first R&D center approved by the Turkish Ministry of Science, Industry, and Technology in the prefabricated construction sector.

In an Istanbul worksite mobilization project, we successfully completed Turkey's first four-storey container construction, driven by our solution-oriented approach and customized static calculations to meet the customer's needs.

In 2008, we authored the 350-page Lightweight Steel Architectural Details book, a first in the prefabricated building sector in our country. This comprehensive guide showcases our expertise in detailing and applications for lightweight steel building. This guidebook is continuously updated to assist and guide architects, engineers, and practitioners and it also facilitates their job by monitoring and control of installation processes.

In 2017, we were accepted to the Turquality program, which encourages Turkish brands to increase their power and volume in foreign markets.

Our group brand, Nestavilla, incorporates the innovative Fluted Panel System a proprietary and patented technology that enhances the aesthetic appeal of prefabricated houses while ensuring superior insulation. This system is used to our residential and multi-purpose building projects.

As a result of the static calculations we made with Vekon expertise, we built four floor buildings in the Venezuela mass housing project for the first time as a Turkish company.

Established in 2012 within Vefa Group, Vefa Academy offers specialized training. Our courses focus on elucidating prefabricated building systems and imparting practical insights on successfully navigating projects using these systems. We prepared training books. As the leading institution in the prefabricated building sector, we have ensured the sectoral development of many engineers, architects, technical and assembly staff.

The Module WC is a specialized 300x700 cm container unit designed and patented by us for worksite mobilization, emergency settlement buildings, and public areas. It features five toilets, a disabled WC, and a dedicated baby care room.

Visual printing can be applied to the fiber cement material on the product's facade, ensuring seamless adaptation to the surrounding nature and location. We designed and hold a patent for the module bathroom, featuring a shower tray and washbasin. These ready-made modular units are shipped with completed finishing works, installed sanitary ware, and finished electrical and mechanical installations.
