The person who laid the foundations of the business in 1976.
Atilla Group was founded in 1976 by Ziya Atilla, with an initial focus on the manufacturing of building materials. His approach was based on discipline, consistency and a clear understanding of production and market dynamics. From the very beginning, the foundation of the business was built on reliability, quality and a long-term perspective.
Ziya Atilla established the business with a focus on doing things in a structured and sustainable way. Rather than pursuing rapid expansion, the priority was to build a solid operational base — one that could support growth over time and adapt to changing market conditions. This mindset shaped the early development of the Group and continues to influence its direction today.
What began as a small-scale manufacturing operation gradually evolved into a broader business structure. Through steady development and diversification, the foundations laid in 1976 enabled the transition into a multi-disciplinary group operating across different sectors and markets.
Today, the principles introduced by Ziya Atilla remain embedded in the Group’s approach. Reliability, disciplined execution and long-term thinking continue to define how Atilla Group operates and develops its projects and investments.
Ziya Atilla’s focus on production and market understanding gave the business a practical starting point. A reliable operating base allowed capabilities and relationships to develop over time. That emphasis on consistency matters as the Group applies its knowledge to different sectors and countries.
Quality, disciplined execution and a long-term perspective connect the founding business with the current Group. They provide a reference for how teams consider a project, organise responsibilities and build relationships. The activities have broadened, while the importance of a dependable foundation remains.
The Group honours the person who began the business in 1976 while continuing its development through specialist companies and professional management. Remembering the foundation is part of understanding how the organisation has grown and the responsibilities that accompany its next stage.
