Water boilers are needed in many places such as homes, offices, hotels and factories, so demand is large. They come in sizes from 1 litre up to 100 litres: household kettles hold 1 to 5 litres, while cafeterias, clubs, hotels, food factories and textile plants use 5 to 100 litres.
The project aims to supply boilers in several sizes, of good quality and at prices that suit the local market. The original study describes a small factory with seven staff making 25 units a day.
For a small project we suggest starting with large boilers (5 to 50 litres) for cafés, restaurants and hotels, because small household kettles face strong competition from cheap imports (estimate). The workshop needs more than İktifa Vakfı's usual support of about $2,000 in equipment, unless it only assembles ready-formed bodies.
Sell through a sales representative, specialised trade fairs and, later, your own showroom. Repairs and spare parts for units sold add extra income (estimate).
The original study plans 25 units a day in one 8-hour shift, 25 days a month (625 units a month), in sizes from 1 to 50 litres rated 2,000 to 3,000 W.
A smaller workshop with 3 to 4 workers can make about 4 to 8 large boilers a day, or 100 to 200 a month (estimate).

Carton carries your brand
İktifa buys the equipment in the owner's name and presence, up to about $2,000. No cash changes hands.
The project starts working before any repayment, with mentoring through the first year.
Instalments follow a schedule agreed with the owner, based on the feasibility study.
Repayments, and 15% of profits to the local fund, equip the next skilled person.
Exact amounts and schedules are agreed for each project after the feasibility study.
Cut stainless-steel sheet to the body, base and lid sizes for each capacity (estimate).
Roll the body into a cylinder and TIG-weld the seam (estimate).
Weld on the base and form the lid, or buy it ready-formed (estimate).
Drill the openings, fit the tap and water-level gauge, and fix the Bakelite handles (estimate).
Fit the heating element, thermostat, switch with indicator lamp and timer, and wire them with insulation and earthing (estimate).
Leak-test with water, test insulation and earthing, and run each unit to boiling (estimate).
Polish and clean, then pack in cartons printed with the factory logo or brand.
Applicable countries
Strong demand from tea houses and cafés, but tough competition and conformity marking required.
Good demand from cafés and restaurants; plan for power cuts with a generator.
Depends on local conformity requirements for electrical appliances.
Unreliable electricity; gas-heated models may suit better.
Unstable power and strong import competition.
Small market and limited supply of stainless steel and parts.
Strong competition from established local manufacturers.
