In 1971, I took my first step into the world of industry by founding Altek. Those years were filled with great struggles and challenges. However, these challenges were not obstacles for me, but rather a source of motivation to reach my goals.

The economic difficulties and limited resources we faced in the company's early years never diminished my desire for continuous development and progress. Despite financial difficulties, I tried to build the development I dreamed of on a solid foundation by making regular and continious investments. During this period, I dedicated all my efforts with the aim of establishing a sustainable company for future generations.

The growth and success of Altek are the results of the determination and perseverance that my late brother Zeki Denizli and I demonstrated, despite the difficulties we faced. Our joint struggles during those founding years shaped the company's core values and resilience. These experiences remain at the heart of our business today and continue to empower us to face any challenge.

Guided by Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's belief that "In this age we must give due importance to the economy. This is the basic condition of our development and progress, and it is to revive the economic life. " We increased our investments as we entered the 2000s to contribute to the nation's economy - and we never stopped investing. Thanks to these investments, we have expanded our export activities, offering market-tailored solutions through modern technological facilities, innovative production processes, and our expert team. Our flexible production capabilities have driven this success. Contributing to the country's economy and creating employment opportunities has continually motivated us. With this goal, my management team and I have achieved enduring success, establishing Altek as a leader in its field.

At Altek, while continuing to grow and create employment opportunities through new investments, we have always operated with environmental respect and a commitment to protecting natural resources for future generations. We have consistently prioritized a human-centered approach. Through our values of hard work, knowledge, and dedication, we have grown into one big Altek Family together with our employees, customers, suppliers, and business partners.

Together with our second-generation leadership team and all colleagues, I am confident we will maintain this course, upholding our core values while expanding our contributions without a break—both material and spiritual—to our nation, society, and every member of the Altek family.

Sincerely,

Fehmi Denizli

Chairman of the Board, Altek
