Founded in 1962 in Turkey, TANSA began as a manufacturer of precision mechanical clocks and gears, quickly earning a reputation for ultra-fine craftsmanship. By the 1990s, the company pivoted toward security and entrance control systems, leveraging its mechanical expertise to design robust, long-lasting turnstiles. Today, TANSA is a third-generation family-owned company, known for its commitment to quality, innovation, and ethical business practices. With ISO 9001 certification and a legacy rooted in fine mechanics, TANSA’s products are engineered to operate “like clockwork”—a nod to its horological origins.
