Our Story
"Our story can be told in words, but our true value is demonstrated through performance."
Founded in 1981 by İbrahim Atabaş in Istanbul, the company began in textile trade — a sector that demanded precision, timing, and trust. These values became the permanent foundation of everything that followed.
In 1999, Hakan Atabaş assumed leadership and initiated a disciplined strategic transformation. The company expanded from textiles into raw materials, then petroleum, metals, fertilizers, agriculture, and construction — always following market intelligence, never speculation.
Today, ATABAŞ GLOBAL serves more than 2,000 clients across 55+ countries, with over 700 manufacturing partners and a broker network of approximately 400 active intermediaries on five continents.
