ENKA’s history begins in 1957 with the partnership between Şarık Tara and the late Sadi Gülçelik. The company was registered in Istanbul as “Şarık Tara ve Sadi Gülçelik ENKA Kollektif Şirketi”. Thus began a history of uninterrupted and accelerated development.
Among the significant projects of the early years were the construction of the Aksu paper mill, the Chrysler truck assembly plant and the Haydarpaşa grain silos in Türkiye.
