years of innovation, entrepreneurship, and commitment to a brighter future.
The foundation of Karadeniz Holding was laid in 1948 when the late Rauf Osman Karadeniz entered the trade of heavy industrial machinery and products.
For the last years Karadeniz Holding has been one of the most innovative companies leading the energy sector not only in Turkey but in the world, as well as having operations in the finance, real estate, and shipbuilding industries.
The company became a pioneer shortly after entering the energy sector in 1996, where it broke new ground with many awards and firsts in Turkey. It received the first wholesale electricity sales license, was the first company to export cross-border electricity and was the first private company to import electricity from Europe.
Today, with 250 MW installed capacity in Turkey, Karadeniz Holding continues its investments in thermal, geothermal and solar projects.
We contribute to humanity and raise the standard of living with our "One World" philosophy. With our continuous growth approach, we maintain top notch efficiency and quality. Being a global actor with our pioneering and creative approach, we create added value to all our stakeholders.
In countries with energy needs, we become a solution partner with our innovative products. We use renewable energy sources effectively. Our goal is to reach 21,000 MW power and thus proudly represent Turkey's global power.
Transparency and sustainability are the bases of our relations with our solution partners, customers, and employees. Health, environment and work safety are top priorities.
We have a pioneering, enterprising spirit with an openness to change the world. We have a long tradition of innovation and being the first in the field.
We pay attention to our corporate strategy. With all our employees, we produce for one world. Our every achievement is a product of team work.
“I thank all my colleagues for their support and efforts.”
As Karadeniz Holding, we continue to grow day by day with the power, experience and culture we have gained over the past 70 years. Since 1948 we are producing innovative business solutions. As a family business, it is not just a profit-making company; we aim to be a reliable business partner that cares about human beings and the environment. Our added value includes the new approaches we have been experiencing in our systems and processes that we have developed as far as we are physically growing.
Innovation, institutionalization, proactivity and technological developments in a changing world order are more prominent than ever. Consequently, we are leading and consolidating our position in the world energy market with our innovative products, our Powership fleet.
By providing economic and fast-track electricity we create business opportunities all over the world and play a very important role in the employment and economic development of countries. As of 2024, we are a family of 24 different nations in 18 different offices of the world.
Our responsibility is immense. We are working day and night with our “One World” philosophy to offer “more” to humanity without sacrificing our values. I would like to thank all my colleagues for their support and efforts.
Rauf Osman Karadeniz was born in Istanbul in 1922. He was known as an innovative, brave risk-taker with an economic vision that was far ahead of his time. He established Karadeniz Makine Ticaret in 1948.
At every opportunity, he would make the point that we all lived in “One World”. This was his vision of the world, which he defined as living and producing in the one and only world, in peace and unity, and with high moral and humane values.
He went out of his way to help people within his circles as well as those from far away in matters of health and education. He perceived this as a sacred priority that was as valuable as his business and family life.
A legacy of firsts, from Turkey's energy market to global waters.
