İhlas Group is one of Türkiye’s longest-standing and pioneering business groups, operating through three dozen companies and a workforce of 2,959. It maintains a far-reaching national presence built on solid foundations. The Group’s roots go back to 1970 with the launch of Türkiye Newspaper, and it has sustained steady growth ever since.

The Group’s strategic approach combines its strong legacy with a forward-looking vision and drives continuous growth.

In 1981, İhlas Group established its own printing facilities to boost production capacity and strengthen process control. This bold move reflected the Group’s foresight, focus on success, and commitment to generating long-term value.

At the heart of İhlas Group’s sustainable success is a long-term vision grounded in shared values. The Group draws inspiration from its deep-rooted legacy and stays true to its unwavering principles while maintaining steady growth through its sustainability-focused approach.

The strong family bond it builds with its employees enables the Group to maintain a structure that is not only economically robust but also culturally and socially strong.

İhlas Group is one of the first names that comes to mind when people think of innovation and entrepreneurship. The Group focuses on meeting the requirements of the modern age and technological advancements by investing in new business areas and developing forward-looking solutions.

For more than three decades, İhlas Group has sustained uninterrupted growth, which it attributes to its sustainable business models, strong corporate culture, and a vision that embraces change.

In 1990, İhlas Group brought its vision for sustainable growth to life with the İhlas Yuva Houses project, marking its entry into the construction sector. In the same year, the Group expanded into consumer electronics and home appliances by establishing İhlas Home Appliances. In 1991, it diversified into the healthcare sector with the opening of Türkiye Hospital.

These strategic investments across multiple sectors have reinforced İhlas Group’s diversified structure and paved the way for a robust business model that continues to support steady growth.

A Proven Track Record and Global Success in the Media Sector

In the 1990s, Türkiye Newspaper broke circulation records and expanded its reach through distribution in the United Kingdom and the United States, followed by the establishment of local printing operations in Germany.

These achievements strengthened İhlas Group’s leadership in the media sector and demonstrated its commitment to sustainable success. The Group’s leadership position in media reflects its long-term vision and international success.

In 1994, İhlas Group expanded its strong journalism legacy by establishing İhlas News Agency Co. and launching TGRT FM radio and the TGRT television channel. These strategic investments broadened the Group’s media portfolio, increased its reach to wider audiences, and strengthened its leadership in the sector.

Sustainable Growth and Steady Success

İhlas Group’s strategic moves in the 1990s showed that the Group aspired to more than being just a commercial organization; it set out to achieve sustainable growth and steady success.

İhlas Group expands its operations through strategies built on growth and specialization, ensuring continuous development and proudly celebrating its place among Türkiye’s most prominent and preeminent groups.

Investments made under this vision clearly demonstrate the Group’s long-term perspective and its commitment to building a strong foundation for the future. By adopting this pioneering growth model, İhlas Group continues to strengthen its presence across sectors and maintain its steady expansion.

In 1993, İhlas Group consolidated all its companies under İhlas Holding to advance its growth on a firmer foundation. This merger was a significant step that reinforced the Group’s strategic growth objectives.

In line with its new investment strategies, İhlas Group carried its vision for sustainable stability into the Kuzuluk Spa Houses project in 1995, laying the foundations for its timeshare property operations during the same period.

During this period, İhlas Group also expanded into new sectors such as internet service provision, finance, food, transportation, and insurance.

Combining its sense of social responsibility with its sustainability principles, the Group took an important step in education by establishing İhlas College in 1996.

Sustainable Growth and Service Without Borders Approach

İhlas Group carried the strong momentum gained in the 1990s into the 2000s and further broadened its areas of operation, taking essential steps to build specialized expertise. The Group focused not only on commercial success but also on laying a robust foundation for a sustainable future. In this regard, each new investment and sector expansion served not only as a growth opportunity but also as a means to build deeper connections with society.

İhlas Group’s Service Without Borders approach ensures sectoral diversity both nationally and globally and aims to deliver the highest standards of value in every field of activity. This vision enables the Group to maintain continuous growth while prioritizing not only economic success but also social benefit.

Between 1997 and 1998, İhlas Group maintained steady growth by participating in the deregulation of the energy sector. During this period, the Group acquired strategic licenses to bring underground resources, including metallic minerals, coal, and industrial raw materials, into the economy, providing continuous support for national development. Through this step into the energy sector, İhlas Group aimed not only to drive economic growth but also to diversify its operations and encourage the responsible use of sustainable resources.

By the early 2000s, İhlas Group strengthened its internal structure to foster synergy among its companies and to deepen expertise in each business area. This realignment enabled each company to operate with a clearer focus and improved efficiency within its respective field. This strategy safeguarded the continuity of İhlas Group’s overall success and reinforced both its internal structure and its strong position in external markets.

With the establishment of İhlas Media Holding in 2003, İhlas Group broadened its activities to include journalism, news agencies, television and radio broadcasting, and expanded into new areas such as magazine publishing, media planning, and digital broadcasting. In 2004, the launch of TGRT News TV marked a strategic move into thematic, news-focused broadcasting.

The decision to sell TGRT TV in 2006 was a turning point in the Group’s media strategy, reinforcing its exclusive focus on news broadcasting and deepening its expertise in the sector.

By maintaining its strategy of steady growth and specialization throughout the 2000s, İhlas Group continuously expanded its scope of operations and strengthened its position as one of Türkiye’s most prominent and preeminent companies.

Quality and Steady Growth in the Construction Sector

İhlas Group continues to strengthen its position in the construction sector by applying its expertise across a wide range of projects. In 2004, alongside its progress in broadcasting, the Group developed
the Armutlu Timeshare Holiday Resort on 362,000 square meters in Yalova’s Armutlu district, demonstrating its commitment to continuous growth and development. This project marked the Group’s first major step in large-scale construction investments.

The Group has continued its construction investments with the Kristalşehir and Bizim Houses projects, which exemplify its strategy for steady growth and strong presence across different market segments.

Steady Growth and Diversification in Marketing

An Ongoing Sense of Social Responsibility: From Healthcare to Education

Its approach, which conveys the warmth of family and the comfort of home, reinforces its strength in providing ethical, high-quality healthcare.

İhlas Educational Institutions, which offer education from preschool through high school, are founded on societal values and designed to equip students with the tools needed in today’s world. The institution effectively utilizes modern knowledge and technology to ensure that students gain not only academic knowledge but also the ability to apply it practically in their careers and daily lives.
