ABOUT US

The foundation of our group is based on the start of activities in the construction sector with a private company established in 1967 by registering the name ‘İLHAN SONBAY’. With our companies ‘Sonbay Metal Sanayi İnşaat A.Ş’ and ‘İrden Yapı Nakliye İnşaat Turizm Sanayi ve Ticaret Anonim Şirketi’, which started to operate in the following years, we have completed the projects of Official Institutions and Organisations such as Village Services, Prime Ministry, Ministry of National Defence, General Command of Gendarmerie, mainly Superstructure Projects in various provinces of Turkey, with a quality understanding above expectations, in shorter periods than the committed time periods and presented them to the service of our country.

It has always been our main goal to maintain the prestige brought to us by our rightful position in the construction sector. It is very important to take part in new projects in the global arena with the aim of fulfilling the requirements of the age by combining the knowledge and experience gained by more than forty years of intensive working process with today’s knowledge, technology and human resources in order to carry the life of our company to new generations. Since our establishment until today, our main goal has been to invest every penny we have earned from this land back into this land. In order to contribute to the rapidly growing Turkish economy, it has been our greatest goal to realise new superior projects by blending our knowledge and experience in the construction sector with our most valuable treasures, our business ethics and discipline, using both our own resources and global financial resources.

CHAIRMAN'S MESSAGE

MILESTONES OF A LIFE TIME….

As we are all going through a dynamic era, the whole business world around globe is questioning the same fact: Are we ready for the dramatic changes that we will encounter as we go on through the new millennium. In the 19th century, the average lifetime for a company was accepted to be around 100-150 years. When we came to 2000s, this period went down to single digit numbers. Even more dramatically, today, the average lifetime of a company is around 10 years because as we encounter the new developments like mergers and acquisitions, we will be facing a new form of global competition. For those who underestimate this era, the end will be either dissolution or transfer to another group.
When I first started in 1968, I was very much sure that my business activities will be the true meaning of my life and will last a life time, now that I look back; we have come a very long way. There were times I wanted to give up but I did not because I always had full faith for my crew as much as my true feelings for this country. Nowadays, I feel honored to experience the on going changes in Turkey and how fast we are growing globally.
However, in many aspects we fail to realize that we are at a milestone. Now is the time for every Turkish Company to utilize the opportunities provided by the new technologies and integrate these changes with the accumulation of knowledge and organizational skills gained by time, in order to generate best value and satisfaction to our customers around the world. As we are trying to be more efficient, it should be our commitment that the quality of our work will never change even through the toughest competition because this will be the key for on going operations.
I truly believe that SONBAYGROUP family will embrace the millennium ahead with world-wide achievements in all aspects of business because true values and ethics will be our only torch through out this dark and long way. In final words, as the founder and chairman, I would like to thank everybody who has given their endless efforts and supports in order to achieve success, without them, all the milestones would have been different.
