Starting with modest contracting projects, we take justified pride in having delivered numerous major projects and created added value in Türkiye and various regions around the world, particularly in the construction, tourism, cement, and infrastructure sectors. At this point, we have not only brought our group into the economic sphere but have also touched the lives of our employees, their valued families, the organizations we have partnered with, and all of our stakeholders who have contributed to these efforts alongside us. 

Our expansion into each new industry, our first partnership, followed by the global partnership that developed thereafter, the involvement of our second generation in leading the company, and the process of transforming our experience in business operations into social investments—each of these has been a critical milestone in our journey. 

We have reaped the rewards of building a strong structure and making it sustainable, particularly in the steps of institutionalization that contributed to the development of our corporate culture. We have full confidence that our second-generation management will raise the bar even higher and solidify our company’s position on the global stage with their innovative and well-equipped vision throughout this journey. Within this framework, we are fully aware of our responsibility and duty to transfer our expertise, experience, and knowledge to younger generations at every opportunity and to accompany them in this transformation. Alongside our pride in contributing to social development, we will always uphold the responsibility of being an organization worthy of our country, together with our Board of Directors and all our employees.
