INTRODUCING MUKANSA SYSTEMS
MADE TO MATCH IN FORM AND FUNCTION
"Made by Mukansa" represents the craftsman spirit.
Rooted in the excellence of details, we’ve been
making innovative products for over 20 years,
combining form & function to redefine perfection.

The Intersection of Engineering, Aesthetics, and Function
Mukansa does not view the design process as merely limited to aesthetics. Each product is shaped through user scenarios developed within the framework of Human Factors Engineering and experiential ergonomics principles. High-level CAD/CAM platforms like SolidWorks, CATIA, and Siemens NX used in R&D processes are supported by geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), finite element analysis (FEA), and digital prototyping capabilities.
Internal flow surfaces as well as the external forms of the products are optimized through computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. All designs are under industrial design and functional patent protection with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO).
Mukansa uses lower lead content (<0.25%) DZR (dezincification resistant) brass alloys in full compliance with ISO 4957 and EN 1982 standards. These alloys are ideal materials for sanitary fittings due to properties such as high thermal conductivity, low surface friction, and electrochemical stability.
Material composition undergoes 100% batch control with spectrometric analysis devices. Brass bodies are shaped with sub-micron tolerances in 5-axis CNC machining centers, and honing is applied so that internal surface roughness is Ra<0.4 µm for flow optimization.
Stainless steels used in Mukansa products are supplied in accordance with ASTM A240, A276, and A554 norms. Thanks to the low carbon content of 316L steel, intergranular corrosion risk is minimized by preventing grain boundary carbide precipitation, especially in TIG/MIG welding zones.
Steel surfaces undergo electrolytic polishing and passivation processes to stabilize the oxide layer. With this process, a passive Cr₂O₃ layer is formed up to a depth of 25 µm, providing high levels of chemical resistance. Our products pass 500+ hour Salt Spray Tests in accordance with the EN ISO 9227 norm.
PVD coatings are integrated into the product surface with atomic bonds via ion bombardment performed under high vacuum (10⁻⁵ torr). Titanium nitride (TiN), zirconium nitride (ZrN), and carbon-based DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coatings reach up to levels 8–9 on the Mohs hardness scale.
Mukansa PVD processes are applied at a substrate temperature of 450–480°C to ensure thermal expansion harmony. These coatings do not show deformation under loads over 20 N in scratch tests performed according to ASTM C1624. Surface color deviations are controlled to be ΔE<1.
Mukansa products are subject to a three-layer galvanic chrome plating system: nickel, semi-bright nickel, and micro-crack chrome. Reaching a total thickness of 12 µm, this structure is grown controlled in accordance with ISO 4525.
After coating, products are stabilized by electrothermal balancing and dry oven processes. In this way, Hydrogen Embrittlement risk under the chrome layer is minimized. Products maintain their performance without loss of brightness in 1000-hour humid environment tests.
Mukansa’s production facilities are structured in an integrated manner with ISO 9001 (Quality Management), ISO 14001 (Environmental Management), ISO 45001 (Occupational Health and Safety), and ISO 50001 (Energy Management) standards. All processes are monitored with FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis), PPAP (Production Part Approval Process), and SPC (Statistical Process Control) methodologies.
Our products have global certifications such as UPC (Universal Plumbing Code), WRAS (UK Water Regulations), SASO (Saudi Standards), CE, WATERMARK (Australia), NSF (USA), and ACS (France).
With Tier-1 level OEM production capacity, Mukansa offers integrated solutions for brands operating in Europe, Asia, and North America. Thanks to advanced MRP-II systems and SAP-based ERP infrastructure, production is carried out with a 99.8% accuracy rate from order to delivery.
In OEM projects, product design is reconstructed from start to finish specific to the customer. These productions, supported by functional prototyping, life cycle analyses, and life cycle testing, are fully compliant with ITAR and RoHS directives.
While integrating the Japanese “Kaizen” approach into its production philosophy, Mukansa takes maximum advantage of China’s high-volume production systems. Automation systems are carried out with industry-leading robotic platforms such as FANUC and Mitsubishi. MTM (Methods-Time Measurement) and TAKT TIME analysis are applied in process optimization.
Thanks to this hybrid production model, both the error rate has been pulled down to 0.003% levels and the production time has been reduced by an average of 17%.
The 304 quality steel used in sink production has a minimum thickness of 3mm-5mm. Each piece is joined with TIG welding after laser cutting and CNC press brake bending processes. Acid pickling and electropolishing processes performed after welding increase the corrosion resistance of the weld seams.
Anti-condensation coatings and sound-absorbing pads applied under the sink reduce noise by 60%, especially in high-flow usage conditions. All sinks are subject to a hydrostatic leak test under 3 atm.
Neoperl aerators optimize the air-water mixing ratio to provide splash-free laminar flow. The “Silicone Insert Mesh” system used in the internal structure of the aerator prevents particle accumulation and offers long-lasting performance.
EPDM-coated spiral hoses have pressure resistance up to 10 bar and safe stretching capability in the -30°C/+120°C temperature range. They are NSF, DVGW, KTW, and ACS approved.
PE-foam filled internal support systems used in product packaging provide resistance against G-forces during logistics loading. Outer boxes with a Kraft+Laminate combination show maximum durability in ASTM D4169 impact tests.
In-box compartments are prepared with CNC cutting molds specific to the product type and are placed according to the zero-contact principle during transport. Packaging is produced from FSC-certified recyclable material.
