1969
Türkiye’s first shock absorber manufacturer
Founded under the name Maysan as the first company to manufacture shock absorbers in Türkiye.
Experience rooted in original equipment. The Maysan Mando assurance in the aftermarket.
Engineering and manufacturing expertise developed since 1969, now brought to the replacement market.
A journey that began in Bursa, growing with global engineering experience.
Founded under the name Maysan as the first company to manufacture shock absorbers in Türkiye.
The production line became fully operational and sales to the domestic market began.
Maysan entered into a partnership with Çukurova Holding.
The first exports were made on the way to becoming a global player.
A laboratory was set up for product development and R&D work began.
Maysan merged with HL Mando, bringing together global engineering experience.
The R&D Centre was approved by the Ministry of Science, Industry and Technology.
A new production facility was established, increasing production capacity.
OE (Original Equipment) is the equipment fitted to a vehicle when it is built at the factory. Every shock absorber developed for vehicle manufacturers goes through vehicle-specific engineering, rigorous testing and approved production processes. This expertise is also the foundation of our aftermarket products.
The valve stack is tuned to the vehicle’s weight, suspension geometry and intended use, preserving the balance between road holding and comfort.
Critical components such as the piston rod, seal, oil and bushes are selected with the specification discipline used in OE projects.
Mounting points and dimensions match the vehicle exactly. Installation is quick and requires no additional work.
The resistance the shock absorber produces at each velocity is kept within the reference curve and tolerance band defined for the vehicle. This curve defines the driving character.
Before it reaches the shelf, a shock absorber goes through four stages, from design to series production.
Vehicle data and operating conditions are analysed; damping targets and component design are defined.
Before prototyping, the design is tested for strength and performance through simulation.
Prototypes are validated at our R&D centre through performance, durability and environmental tests.
The approved design goes into series production through processes that meet international quality standards.
Every product family goes through test protocols that simulate real road conditions.
Damping force at different velocities is measured on a dynamometer and compared with the reference curve.
PERFORMANCEThe shock absorber is subjected to a high number of load cycles simulating long-term use.
DURABILITYSurface coatings and the rod surface are tested against harsh climate conditions in a salt spray environment.
ENVIRONMENTALDamping performance and the behaviour of the oil and seals are examined at low and high temperatures.
ENVIRONMENTALThe seal and guide system is verified not to leak oil under pressure.
RELIABILITYNoise and vibration during operation are measured to check comfort targets.
COMFORTWith production processes certified to international standards and backed by our warranty, every Maysan Mando shock absorber hits the road with the same care.
Our aftermarket shock absorbers are covered by a 3-year warranty against manufacturing and material defects.
The quality management system standard specific to the automotive industry, a core requirement for OE suppliers.
Certifies that all processes are carried out in line with the international quality management system standard.
Our R&D centre is approved by the Turkish Ministry of Industry and Technology.
