OUR HISTORY

Fifty-year milestones that reveal the success story of Gemlik Gübre and carry the torch of our heritage to future generations.

ESTABLISHMENT PERIOD

The fertilizer factory aimed to maximize the agricultural productivity of our country by increasing the nutritional value of the soil. It contributed to the growth of the agricultural sector by providing high quality fertilizer to farmers. In 2004, YILDIRIM Group purchased Gemlik Gübre through privatization and included it in the powerful YILDIRIM family and business network. YILDIRIM Group was determined to take this important initiative much further.

The ammonia plant became operational in 2006. Mersin Warehouse was launched in 2010. In 2010, the construction of Gemlik Port was started.
