President's Message
President's Message
Every great journey begins with a small but courageous step.
Kale Group's story began with just such a step exactly 69 years ago. The first spark lit by the late İbrahim Bodur, who turned a vision that seemed impossible at the time into reality through his faith in people, shared hard work and determination, has grown into an ecosystem of industry and value creation extending across Türkiye.
Looking back, we see the meaningful contributions of Kale Group companies at pivotal moments in Türkiye's industrial development, employment, exports and progress. Through our investments in Kaleseramik, we make a difference not only in production but also in aesthetics and quality of life. This value, rooted in domestic manufacturing, inspires both our home market and the wider world. In construction chemicals, Kalekim places sustainable growth and exports at the heart of our approach. Having begun our journey as one of the pioneering defence and aerospace manufacturers in Türkiye's private sector, we now combine our domestic and national production capabilities with advanced technologies.
For 69 years, Kale Group has gone beyond industrial production. Guided by our responsibility to this land, we are building a future founded on development, innovation and social benefit.
Towards the future with 69 years of trust and experience…
The world is changing at an extraordinary pace. Competition now has technological, environmental and cultural dimensions. While digital transformation, artificial intelligence and automation redefine how we work, the climate crisis, resource scarcity and social inequalities call for a more responsible, long-term perspective.
At this very point, we see Kale Group as part of a new generation of transformation.
Drawing strength from our deep roots, we are initiating a transformation centred on digitalisation, the green transition and social change, meeting today's needs while helping shape tomorrow's world. We are redefining ourselves in every area, from our approach to production and human resources policies to our investment strategies and our approach to social and environmental impact.
As a Group that creates social impact through its activities and the projects it supports, we generate lasting value across a broad spectrum, from education and culture to art and design. We build models for local development, provide equal opportunities for young people and develop innovative solutions together with social entrepreneurs. Through our new generation of leadership, we invest in our people and make talent development a strategic priority. As we focus on digitalisation, artificial intelligence and advanced materials technologies, we also strengthen our vision for sustainability and social benefit.
As we grow, we remember our roots and follow the principles of kindness, fairness and respect for people. With our call to "Take Care of Your World", we aim to improve our environmental and social impact in every area in which we operate and build a sense of collective responsibility for a more sustainable world. Today, true business success means creating meaning as we grow, remaining fair as we become stronger and leaving no one behind as we advance. Following in the footsteps of our late founder İbrahim Bodur, we continue to create lasting and meaningful value through our commitment to the Republic, our loyalty to this land and our faith in our people.
We look to our past with respect and to our future with courage.
Zeynep Bodur Okyay
President and CEO of Kale Group
