Chairman's Message

Dear Friends and Valued Employees,

ÖDF Yılmazlar İnşaat set out in 2001 with the aim of becoming a company respected for its work, uncompromising on quality, mindful of the environment and committed to its employees. It entered the sector determined to build a brand through a planned and sustainable growth strategy, responding to client requirements at the highest level with up-to-date technology.

Our company has always honored its employees' rights and made a harmonious working environment one of its principles; it has met the needs of its clients and has always maintained a respectful attitude toward its stakeholders. Our employees and our clients alike have felt deeply our company's determination to keep pace with the needs of the times and to renew itself continually with innovative goals.

Seeking better service, our valued clients placed their trust in our company as a result of the dynamism we brought to the sector, and our company made the most of these opportunities and has never let that trust down. Although we have achieved many of our goals on the way to where we are today, we know that our work is not yet done. We will therefore hold on to our determination to achieve our goals and continue to find ways to move forward.

We have proven time and again that when we support one another, stand together and make it our principle to put our name only to the right work, we take our company further. By showing our business partners that we would succeed in our work and could take on far more demanding projects, together we earned their trust. Together with you, we have become a company that has earned its place in the sector. With nearly 1,000 employees and investments that continue without slowing, ÖDF Yılmazlar İnşaat has today become one of Türkiye's leading construction companies, its completed work spoken of with praise and confidence in many places. At this point, all the organizations that work with our company hold us in high regard and wish to continue working with us. We take rightful pride in having completed our work quickly, honestly and respectably, without compromising on quality — the main goal we set when we started out.

This path, which we have built by working together, must preserve the reputation we have earned in the construction sector, to which we add value, while carrying us further, so that we represent our brand and our country with even bigger projects. The essence of staying on target is to keep working with perseverance, in an environment of respect and trust, without compromising the values that have brought us here, and by maintaining our company policy of being fair and honest toward one another and our stakeholders and of knowing when to take risks.

We are a company that carries out every job it undertakes with the same sense of responsibility and that is committed to adding value to our country through its investments. We keep our desire to work toward our goals as strong as on the first day. I want it to be known that we will continue to represent our country with pride through the projects we deliver.

I close with the words of our great leader Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, “Turk, be proud, work hard and be confident,” and wish you continued success.

With my respect and warm regards to you all.

Orhan Fatih YılmazChairman of the Board
