heavy machinery repair Ahmet Meral vocational training Isparta mechanical engineering

Ahmet Meral, a 60-year-old master mechanic known as ‘Greyder Ahmet’ in the Sav district of Isparta, has completed 50 years in the heavy machinery repair industry. Having started his career at age 10 in construction sites, Meral specializes in the complete revision of hydraulic, engine, transmission, and differential systems.

His expertise has expanded his business beyond local demand; he now receives orders from across Turkey and internationally from locations including Moscow, Libya, and Qatar. Meral also provides remote technical assistance to international clients via video calls, citing an instance where he helped a client in Libya adjust a grader via video in approximately one hour.

To ensure quality, Meral provides a six-month guarantee on his work and assumes financial responsibility for errors. Amidst a declining interest in blue-collar trades among the younger generation, Meral is actively calling for young people to enter the profession, offering to mentor and train them regardless of the working hours.
