The Trusted Brand in Heavy Commercial Vehicle Spare Parts: VADEN ORIGINAL
VADEN ORIGINAL is a Turkey-based global manufacturer producing a wide range of spare parts for trucks, tractor units, buses and trailers — led by air brake systems — to OEM quality standards. With over 1,500 employees, a 105,000 m² production area and an export network reaching more than 100 countries, we combine over half a century of experience with our own R&D and manufacturing strength.
VADEN ORIGINAL is a brand that manufactures spare parts for heavy commercial vehicles — not just a seller, but an industrial company that designs, tests and produces. We were founded in Konya in 1968 by our late Honorary Chairman İsmail Acar under the name "Yıldız Enjektör ve Rekor Pulları" (YILDIZPUL). What began as the production of washers and gaskets has grown into a broad manufacturing capability covering dozens of commercial vehicle systems today. Managing every process in-house, the company launched its global brand VADEN ORIGINAL in 2007, and from 2018 onward rose to become a manufacturer competing with the world's leading names.
At the heart of our expertise is heavy-duty air brake systems: air brake compressors, air disc brake calipers, relay/distributor/EBS/ABS valves, brake cylinders and air processing units. Beyond this, we offer a broad range across 16 product families. Our products are cross-referenced by OEM reference numbers for compatibility with leading heavy commercial vehicle brands including Mercedes-Benz, MAN, Scania, Volvo, DAF, Iveco, Renault and BMC. With our OEM code search tool, you can quickly find the part you need among more than 12,000 products.
Across a total area of more than 120,000 m², with 105,000 m² of closed production space, over 597 CNC machines and a high-technology machine fleet, we manufacture to world-class standards. We put sustainable production at the center of what we do, meeting a significant share of our energy needs through our 6.5 MW solar energy capacity. We manage our manufacturing strength through a multi-facility structure:
Our quality management systems are certified to IATF 16949:2016 and ISO 9001:2015. By managing every stage in-house, from product design through to manufacturing processes, we produce parts that meet OEM quality standards — durable, long-lasting and consistent in performance even under the toughest conditions. We are members of the Corporate Governance Association of Turkey (TKYD), TAYSAD and OSS.
We export to more than 100 countries and serve over 500 customers across 7 continents. We have been accepted into the Turquality® program, supported by the Turkish Ministry of Trade. We take part in the world's leading trade fairs, including Automechanika (Frankfurt, Istanbul, Dubai, Shanghai, Riyadh), AAPEX Las Vegas, Automec Brazil, Expotransporte Mexico and MIMMS Moscow, and we bring our global business partners together through our "Now Vaden Time" events.
