Company Profile
The vision of YaÅŸar Özkan, first revealed in 1962, continues today in a company driven by passion, discipline, and the determination to put service to its customers above all else.
​
Since this time the company has built experience and reputation both on a national and international level through contracting the construction and erection works in the most satisfactory manner. Our company undertook pipelines, tank farms, various heating and conditioning works, and mechanical projects from Nato, Ministry of Defence, Turkish Petroleum Corporation, and Ministry of Transportation during the first quarter of its establishment.
YaÅŸar Özkan Inc. launched its first international contract in 1979 in Libya. The company completed various infrastructure, housing, and hospital constructions with success. Its dedication to service, quality workmanship, and adherence to accepted international standards, enabled it to rapidly make a name for itself among top Turkish contractors involved in infrastructure and building construction projects in Libya. Through the years the work capacity of the company had increased through administrative buildings, housing, school, warehouses, and committee building constructions. More than forty years later, YaÅŸar Özkan Engineering and Contracting Co. Inc. continues to participate in high-visibility Libyan projects.
Continued growth and expansion necessitated the transformation from a private company to a Joint Stock company in 1990. In that year the company changed its name to YaÅŸar Özkan Engineering and Contracting Joint Stock Company.
​
Fueled by growth and rising demand for its services, the company broadened its focus to include residential and industrial facilities, infrastructure construction, and the general contracting market. YaÅŸar Özkan A.Åž. is proud to have participated in several major projects giving the company an honorable reputation for superior quality and unwavering honesty among multiple clients in Russia.
As a result of its commitment to excellence, YaÅŸar Özkan A.Åž. increased its penetration into domestic and international markets and increased its participation in various construction and assembly projects.
The company's efforts were rewarded by earning a place among the "225 Largest International Contractors" in the years 1983, 1985, 2003, and 2008 as selected by the publishers of the construction sector magazine Engineering News-Record. This recurring honor places YaÅŸar Özkan A.Åž. among the top international contracting companies in the world.
​
YaÅŸar Özkan will work with partners, governments, or private entities to continue to perpetuate its hard-earned integrity through honesty and experience.
​
Sincerely,
YaÅŸar ÖZKAN
