Ahmet Turhan, who came to Istanbul in the mid 1950s, and although he came from a family its living dependent on agriculture, he could not overcome his interest in the industry and started to work at metal finishing workshops even his childhood stage of life. In the course of the passing years, even at the age of 20s, he became a united whole with the scrap production and founded his first workhop at a shop having an area of 50 m2 at Emek sokak Sishane/ Istanbul. Even during these first years of the workshop, the automat parts were machined and gradually started to be recognized in the sector.

Even during these first years of the workshop, the automat parts were machined and gradually started to be recognized in the sector. Towards the end of 1970s, he decided to manufacture gas taps which had had a production in a limited number because of the lack of technology in Turkey at that time. For the reason that the high quality and know how that the gas sector necessitates had not existed in our country at all, in respect of the European countries, made it impossible to have trained man power and machinery equipment, he passed through a very difficult period of time especially for the first ten years. Considerable increases came into being both at the quality expectation and in the consumption amounts together with the white goods sector that developed in Turkey in the beginning of 1980s and TURAS A.S. together with the experience that it had had until that date, joined among the leaders of the sector in the country. Then the firm went on its production in a bigger workshop at Topcular. Although with the Professional executives that joined the company during these days and also with the contribution of the second generation to meet the increasing demand, the firm again moved to a bigger area at Bayrampasa and also it took its first steps towards being an association at this date. TURAŞ A.Ş., also during these years, started t olay the first foundations of its current modern laboratory of which absolute necessity had been evident well then, in the mid 1980s it also included the developed transfer machines and electronic control devices into its machine line, in this way important improvements were provided in the variety and number of the products. Until 1990s, TURAŞ A.Ş., while passing through all these stages, the cooker producers especially located in Istanbul, Eskisehir and Kayseri, acquired an important place not only in Turkey, but also throughout the World from the point view of quality and number, and naturally the demand for the low pressure Gas fittings got increased gradually. Finally, the Firm moved to its own detached factory at B. Cekmece which can be counted a bit outskirts of Istanbul, and formed such a machine line within its constitution that it can compete with its competitors in Europefrom the point view of machining and printing Technologies.

 

Following these developments, the Firm that also went out of the Turkish market slowly, started exporting and caught an important potential. It has stil been maintaining its prestige on this matter with the exhibitions that it continuously participates every year. At about the end of 1990s, it moved to its factory at which it has stil been keeping on its production currently. At its new place which consists of two separate enterprises : 1.factory site is reserved only for the print and transfer technology and the second factory has got the precision finishing process and assembly units in its construction. Along with the full automatic assembly and control line that had been included in the machinery line in 2000s, considerable distances were covered in the production quantity and product standardization. Today, also together with the power of having the most comprehensive machinery line and laboratory on the subject of gas taps in Turkey, it manufactures products in conformity with the European norms and certificates this with its CE Certification that was given to it by DVGW Firm in Germany. Currently TURAŞ A.Ş., Works with the producers of cookers in every size in Turkey and exports about half of its production.
