ISTANBUL — Turkish industrial conglomerate Akkök Holding announced that it plans to invest $324 million in 2025, following a record $481 million investment program completed last year. The company said the new investment strategy will focus on high value-added production, localization, advanced materials, and export-oriented growth.
Speaking at a press briefing, CEO İhsan Gökşin Durusoy said the group aims to strengthen Türkiye’s industrial competitiveness through technology-driven investments across chemicals, energy, real estate, and advanced materials. The company is also targeting approximately $832 million in exports and around $4.5 billion in annual revenue.
A major part of the investment plan includes expanding domestic production capabilities in strategic industries. Among the projects highlighted were local epoxy resin production facilities operated by Akkim Kimya and carbon fiber-related investments through DowAksa, a joint venture active in advanced composite materials.
Durusoy stated that Akkök Holding recently signed a binding agreement to acquire the remaining 50% stake in DowAksa for $125 million, a move expected to strengthen the group’s position in the global carbon fiber market. He said the company’s investments are designed to reduce Türkiye’s dependence on imports while increasing export capacity.
In real estate, the holding company is preparing a large mixed-use urban transformation project in Istanbul’s Sahrayıcedit district through its subsidiary Akiş GYO. The development is expected to cover nearly 100,000 square meters and generate approximately $380 million in revenue.
On the energy side, subsidiary Akenerji continues to expand renewable energy operations and cross-border electricity trading activities in Greece and Bulgaria. The company also confirmed ongoing efforts to secure an electricity trading license in Greece through its European subsidiary, Aken Europe BV.
