During its 80-years journey, the Holding has transformed into a group of companies committed to creating value for all stakeholders with investments in a diverse range of industries. The Holding has undersigned many firsts in its core business of construction, such as becoming the first Turkish contracting firm to be awarded an overseas project in Libya followed by Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Egypt, Iran, Tunisia, Pakistan and India.
