TIMAK is a machinery and superstructure manufacturer based in Tirana, Albania, established in 2016. The company operates internationally, providing services to more than 20 countries.
Starting with a focus on modifying existing structures to produce police vehicles and ambulances, TIMAK later diversified into the military sector, fulfilling the need for armored military ambulances, including those supplied to Ukraine. In 2024, TIMAK introduced Albania's inaugural Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected Vehicle (MRAP), named the SHOTA, which was engineered by a team of female engineers and built on a Ford F-550 platform.
