About
Borusan began in 1944 as a small Istanbul trading house founded by Asım Kocabıyık, and over eight decades has grown into one of Turkey's largest industrial conglomerates with activities across steel, logistics, energy, and automotive distribution. The group's transformation came in the 1960s when it entered the steel pipe business, and in 1972 it formed a joint venture with Germany's Mannesmann to produce welded steel pipes, a partnership that later evolved into Borusan Mannesmann, Turkey's leading producer of steel pipes and profiles. The group listed parts of its operations over the years and diversified into logistics, wind energy, and the distribution of brands such as BMW, Land Rover and Jaguar in Turkey through Borusan Otomotiv. Borusan's industrial core is built around Borusan Mannesmann, which operates four production plants in Turkey producing longitudinal welded pipes, spiral welded pipes, hollow profiles and scaffolding systems for energy, construction and automotive customers across 50 countries, with annual pipe capacity exceeding one million tonnes. The group also owns Borusan EnBW Enerji, a fast-growing renewable energy platform with more than 400 MW of installed wind and solar capacity, and Borusan Lojistik, one of Turkey's largest integrated logistics operators with warehousing, port operations and cross-border freight services. Borusan is family-controlled, employs roughly 12,000 people, and is consistently ranked among Turkey's top exporters. For B2B buyers, Borusan Mannesmann is a significant supplier of API-grade line pipe and structural hollow sections, with certifications including API 5L, EN 10219 and ISO 9001, serving oil-and-gas, water transmission and construction projects from Europe to the Middle East. The group's steel division actively sources steel coils and plates from global mills, making it a substantial buyer of upstream steel, while Borusan Lojistik offers third-party logistics capacity across Turkey, the Balkans and Central Asia. Its combination of European-standard manufacturing, competitive Turkish cost base, and strong export logistics makes Borusan an attractive partner for both steel sourcing and regional distribution.
