Over four decades the business navigated multiple commodity market cycles, currency crises, and geopolitical disruptions — building trade corridors, supplier relationships, and market intelligence networks across the Middle East, Black Sea, and Caspian regions. ### Corporate Restructuring (July 2022) In July 2022 the business was restructured as **Atabaş Grup Dış Ticaret Limited Şirketi**. This was a formalization of decades of operational history — not a startup event. All legacy relationships, trade routes, and expertise were preserved. Founder and Managing Partner: **Hakan ATABAŞ** — 26+ years in foreign trade, commodity markets, and technology; author of published books on digital transformation. Date of incorporation (chamber registration): 07/07/2022. ### Growth Trajectory (2022–2025) | Year | Employees | Revenue | Total Assets | Net Profit | Opinion | |------|-----------|---------|--------------|------------|---------| | 2023 | 8 | 17.9M TL | 16.4M TL | 0.23M TL | Clean ✅ | | 2024 | 126 | 1,645M TL | 335M TL | 1.87M TL | Clean ✅ | | 2025 | 242 | 63,579M TL | 12,914M TL | 116.2M TL | Clean ✅ | Note: Employee figures reflect FY year-end headcount per IFRS audit.
