First Production

The story of our brand started in a shop that Fahri Demirel and Melih Demirel kept in Kartal, Istanbul. With the first order we received, we produced wiper blade molds for Anadol. When this order was canceled, we started to print and sell wiper blades with the molds we had.

1972

The founders of Silbak, Fahri Demirel and Melih Demirel, started their journey by starting a shop in Kartal Istanbul, Turkiye. With the first order they received, we produced wiper blade molds for Anadol, a known car manufacturer in turkish automobile industry. When the order was canceled, they started to produce rubber wiper blades.

Silbak is an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) manufacturer of automotive wiper blades, and a Turkish company that has been supplying its products to domestic and international car, truck, and bus manufacturers for over 50 years. The company produces its wipers entirely in-house, from raw materials to the finished product, with a focus on 100% domestic technology and production. Silbak is a priority choice for many domestic car factories and has exported its products to more than 35 countries.
