KOLIN, A LEADING GLOBAL BRAND IN THE REGION
Headquartered in Ankara, the Turkish capital, the company surges as a global brand among the world giants with projects on three continents. We are proud of performing great feats worth nearly $2 billion per year across a wide range of industries, primarily in construction and energy sector. The catalog of accomplishments includes mega undertakings such as roads that connect the world, rail systems, major infrastructure investments, Istanbul Airport, and state-of-the-art power plants, dams, ports, military installations, hotels, dormitories, and schools. A sound and long-established company, Kolin turns its equity's boundless potential and energy into investments to contribute to the world’s assets.
 

BORNE OUT OF A FORMIDABLE REGION
Kolin came into being as a construction company in Elazığ. The saga that began in this formidable region boasts bold risks and massive undertakings that were accomplished with pride. The lands on which we were born taught us to take risks. Elazığ is an industrial city that has grown through private enterprise. We have flourished along with the determined and devoted people of our city, which is unsuitable for agriculture or animal husbandry. From day one in 1977, engineer members of the Koloğlu family established the abiding principles of the company by combining the power of knowledge with the prowess of our people and carried to the present. The reputation we have built in the eyes of the Turkish people is a culmination of these principles and the commitment to our corporate values. We have never compromised on quality, efficiency or on growth, for which the focus is on people and knowledge.
 

KOLIN CONSTRUCTION… FLAGSHIP OF THE GROUP
Established in 1977, Kolin Construction is the "flagship” of Koloğlu Holding. The construction industry is our primary area of operations and provides the capital for the large investments we make in various regions. As an expert construction company, the Kolin name appears on reliable roads that bind Turkey; on the dams, which represent abundance; on infrastructure projects; and on prestigious mega structure constructions.

With a 30-percent share in Turkey’s gross national product, the construction industry has been serving as the leading sector for economic growth. The Group is proud to be one of the major players that contributes to this growth. Kolin also bears the title of completing the maximum number of road construction projects in the country.

One of the Group’s important goals involves utilizing our eco- and life-friendly, renewable energy resources. We proudly profess to accomplishing this goal in all of our undertakings. The efforts we made to protect the environment during the construction of the Soma Kolin Thermal Power Plant, “Turkey’s biggest project undertaken using domestic lignite,” serve as just one example of the deep respect the company shows for nature and the environment.
