Company Overview:
Guler Key, also known as GULER KEY & LOCK CO., was founded by Mehmet Güler, a skilled craftsman with a passion for success. Born in Tokat, Çamköy, Mehmet Güler completed his compulsory military service in Istanbul in 1952. Instead of returning to his village, he decided to stay in Istanbul to pursue his dreams.
In his early days, Mehmet Güler specialized in working with cold iron and repairing shoes during his military service. His determination and eagerness to succeed kept him in Istanbul, where he sought job opportunities in Beyazıt. It was there that Süleyman Canver recognized Mehmet Güler's curiosity and offered him a job, marking the beginning of his successful journey.
During the 1970s, Mehmet Güler invented Turkey's first automatic key cutting machine, establishing himself as an inventor in the locksmith industry. He was known for his work ethic, idea generation, and dedication to success. Recognizing the importance of staying updated with science and technology, he traveled to Italy in 1978 to explore developments in the locksmith world.
Upon returning from his journey, Mehmet Güler opened his first workshop in Bayrampaşa, spanning 60 square meters. He personally crafted key profiling machines and started producing normal house keys. From day one, he prioritized quality and made it a fundamental principle of his work.
Guler Key quickly gained a significant customer base, and the workshop's capacity became insufficient to meet the growing demand. In 1987, a 2000-square-meter facility was established in Bagcılar under the name "GÜLER ANAHTAR VE KİLİT SAN. KOLL. ŞTİ. Mehmet Güler ve Oğulları."
In the 2000s, Mehmet Güler's sons, Kemal Güler and Zafer Güler, took over the company's management, with Mehmet Güler overseeing their work. Mehmet Güler's life story served as an inspiration, illustrating how dedication and ambition could lead to success.
As the company continued to expand, GULER KEY started importing products to meet customer expectations and increased its production capacity. While maintaining a strong focus on quality, the company developed a wide range of products to serve both the Turkish and global markets. Eventually, GULER KEY shifted from importing to exporting.
