At DPI (Doğan Piston), we operate with a continuously evolving R&D vision that not only addresses today’s needs but also anticipates those of the future. We develop solutions that meet the high precision, durability, and energy efficiency requirements of modern engine technologies, setting us apart in the industry.

Our R&D activities go far beyond product development. They encompass production process optimization, material science research, new testing methodologies, and the integration of digital manufacturing technologies across all stages.

At the core of DPI’s R&D policy lies the fusion of innovation and sustainable manufacturing. Engineering simulations, prototyping, performance analyses, and product lifecycle testing—conducted before production—enable us to deliver high-performance, long-lasting products in real-world conditions.

Through our material development initiatives, we design lighter, more durable, and environmentally friendly alloys, offering solutions that improve engine efficiency while reducing emissions.

Each DPI product is meticulously developed at the heart of the R&D process. With advanced software-assisted simulation technologies, we are able to optimize critical performance parameters before production even begins, including:

• Wear and thermal resistance
• Deformation under load
• Coordinated movement dynamics

Additionally, long-term durability tests conducted under conditions that closely mimic real-life usage ensure every final product complies with our stringent quality standards.

Every step of our product development process is directly integrated with DPI’s quality management systems. Before going into production, prototype components are reviewed jointly by our R&D and quality engineering teams. This collaboration significantly boosts both technical and operational success.

Thanks to our quality-oriented R&D approach, every product delivered to customers has:

• Passed certified material inspections
• Cleared functional durability tests
• Been developed in accordance with international standards

Our R&D unit plays an active role in DPI’s digital transformation by integrating Industry 4.0 technologies into the product lifecycle. These include:

• Sensor-supported manufacturing systems
• Smart data analytics
• Digital twin applications

With these innovations, we enhance production efficiency and minimize margins of error.

DPI fosters a culture that values innovative thinking and growth through collaboration. To strengthen our R&D efforts, we partner with universities, engineering departments, private laboratories, and technology startups on joint projects.

Combining the strength of domestic manufacturing with advanced engineering, DPI stands out with its agility in adapting to evolving market dynamics. Through tailored designs and technical solutions for international clients, we do more than just produce — we deliver value.
