01 — Our Story
From Trade
to Industry.
Our roots go back to Şahinler Metal, which started trading metal in Ankara in the early 1970s. With our founder Osman Şahin's interest in and belief in production, we moved from trade to industrial manufacturing.
Şahinler Metal grew in secondary aluminium and joined Türkiye's 500 largest industrial enterprises. Over time we brought the “A Kablo” brand in aluminium power cables and the “Şahinler Çelik Halat” brand in steel wire rope to the Turkish economy.
We carried our production experience into logistics and warehousing and became one of the founding partners of the international RODAPORT port in Gemlik, Bursa. Today, with 100% Turkish capital, we work in production and trade on the principles of business ethics, financial stability and social benefit.
02 — Chairman's Message
Determination, Courage,
Business Ethics.
"The guiding principles of my more than half-century of working life have been determination, courage, strong business ethics and entrepreneurship. Even in difficult economic times we never gave up on production and investment, because we saw our company's development as one with the prosperity and growth of our country."
Our vision is to create value-added products with an innovative outlook and to compete in global markets with a commitment to high quality. Our strong financial structure, our reputation and our steady growth are the signs of this journey.
In the future we aim to expand our social aid activities through the Osman Şahin Foundation, pass our experience on to younger generations and grow together with our customers, suppliers, business partners and employees.
