YILDIRIM Group's journey began in 1963, when the late Garip YILDIRIM founded a small construction materials trading company, Garip YILDIRIM and Sons, in Samsun, Türkiye. Since then, the Group has expanded its horizons through innovation and strategic entrepreneurship, growing into one of Türkiye's fastest-growing industrial conglomerates.
As a family-owned enterprise, YILDIRIM Group is entirely privately held by the YILDIRIM Family.
Since making its first international acquisition in Sweden in 2008, the Group has evolved into a leading global industrial powerhouse. With its operational headquarters in Istanbul and financial base in Amsterdam, YILDIRIM Group now spans 57 countries across five continents, operating in nine sectors, including metals and mining, ports and terminals, and energy.
