IN 1947, TOGETHER WITH THE PARTNERSHIP WITH MEHMET BENLI MEMIS BENLI, OUR COMPANY COMMENCED THE BUSINESS OF TRANSPORTATION OF SAND WITH THE USE OF LORRIES. OVER TIME WE INCREASED THE NUMBER OF LORRIES IN OUR FLEET. IN 1955, WE ADDED TO OUR EQUIPMENT PORTFOLIO AN EXCAVATOR TO ENABLE EXCAVATING OF SAND FROM DEEP PITS. THEREAFTER IN 1960, WE PURCHASED A TURKISH PETROLEUM PETROL STATION ABOUT 14KM FROM ISTANBUL.IN 1961 WE PURCHASED A 951 CATERPILLER CARRIER AND ENTERED THE TRANSPORT BUSINESS. IN 1982 WE PARTED WAYS WITH MEMIS BENLI AND STARTED A PARTNERSHIP WITH MEHMET BENLI MUSTAFA BENLI AND INCORPORATED THE BENLI HEAVY TRANSPORT AND TRADE LTD ON 13/04/83, AND HENCE MADE THE FIRST MOVE INTO THE HEAVY TRANSPORT INDUSTRY. AFTER A PERIOD OF HEAVY TRANSPORT, WE RETURNED TO GENERAL TRANSPORT WORK WHERE WE STILL CONTINUE OUR WORK.
