About the founder

Burak Yildirim, M.Sc. Maschinenbau (KIT)

Engineer by passion. Salesperson by conviction.

As a mechanical engineer (M. Sc., KIT) and founder of Industrialresell, I combine in-depth technical understanding with genuine sales drive. I supply industrial customers worldwide with automation and control technology and know exactly what you need the components for, because I have developed machines myself, optimised processes and co-held a patent in robotics.

What you get: fast quotes, fair prices and a contact who thinks along instead of just processing orders.
