Our Story
OUR STORY
Cemer Playground Equipment
Our story began with a dream; we wanted the world to be one big playground.
As Cemer Playground Equipment, which we established in Izmir/Turkey in 1994 with our 30 years of experience, we provide service with 300 employees in a total area of 50,000 m²; 25,000 m² indoor and 25,000 m² outdoor area.
Cemer is not only one of the leaders in the urban equipment and reinforcement materials industry, but also the story of a dream becoming reality. We have managed to become a world-renowned brand by creating every idea, design and production phase in-house. Rapidly developing digital technologies create more and more a society structure which is less mobile and social. By taking on this responsibility, we design and produce products that will contribute to the socialization of everyone from 7 to 70, and help the development of the muscle and coordination system of individuals.
For a quality urban life; we manufacture playgrounds for children with the brand CMRPLAY, adventure parks for youths and adults with the brand CMRXTREME, fitness equipment for children, adults and disabled people with the brand CMRACTIVE, urban equipment with the brand CMRURBAN, specially designed products with the brand CMRIDEA and rubber floorings with the brand CMRHIC.
Accordance with our goals of making a difference and achieving a permanent dominance both domestic and global markets, any feedback we receive from you will help us discover a better way and enable us to achieve new aims.

Cemer Inspirations
We, as Cemer, are inspired by our belief that play is the best way for children to learn and by our desire to improve the lives of adults. Our mission is to improve the quality of life for individuals, bring communities together and build a healthier, happier world.
Children express themselves through play, which is one of the most fundamental ways they explore the world, learn and grow. That is why we design our products with their development and happiness in mind. With every playground or urban furniture design, we aim to create a safe and fun environment that encourages children's imagination and sense of discovery.
We also valuse adults as well as children. We know that quality of life is improved not only by making children happy, but also by making life easier for adults. When designing our urban equipment, we aim to make people's daily lives more comfortable and enjoyable by balancing aesthetics and functionality.
At Cemer, we see each of our products not only as a commodity, but also as a social responsibility. Designed to bring communities together and encourage people to interact with each other, our products contribute to making our cities more liveable and friendly places.
Our inspiration is the desire to work every day for a better world. As Cemer, we will continue to work passionately to enrich the lives of children and adults, bring communities together and build a healthier, happier future.
