CONSTRUCTION GROUP

In 1938, two young and idealistic civil engineers Sezai Türkeş and Feyzi Akkaya established STFA, which today is among the most respected institutions in our country with the “firsts” it brings to the sector and the value it adds to the country’s economy. STFA was built on  the strong friendship between Sezai Türkeş and Feyzi Akkaya, who set off on a difficult journey in the late 1930s, when the construction sector in the country was in the hands of foreigners. STFA has broken new ground with innovation and important achievements during its deep-rooted history accompanying the foundation of the Republic.

STFA obtained the title of the first Turkish contractor to be commissioned construction works/undertake works abroad with the Tripoli Port Construction Project in Libya in 1972, and it consolidated this achievement with later ongoing, significant and important projects. In the following years, STFA further strengthened its leading role in the construction sector as the first Turkish contractor to be commissioned works in Saudi Arabia in 1978, Egypt in 1981, Iran in 1983, Tunisia in 1984, Pakistan in 1992, Oman and Qatar in 2000, and India in 2001. After 1982, STFA also completed significant projects in Turkey, such as the 2nd Bosphorus Bridge and Ring Roads, the Orhaneli Thermal Power Plant, the Golden Horn Tunnels, and Galata Bridge.

While adding dam, road, bridge, tunnel, and maritime structure construction to its expertise in bridge construction and pile work, STFA has become an established actor in the construction sector in Turkey and around the world.
