Message from the President

The foundations of our company were laid when the Turkmen nomadic Demircioğlu family arrived in Izmir in 1953. The subcontracting activity that began in 1954 in railway manufacturing in Izmir continued as a contractor with the sole proprietorship established by Ağa Demircioğlu when the company headquarters moved to Istanbul in 1963. The infrastructure projects of Kartal Municipality, one of Istanbul's largest districts, continued over time with canal, drinking water, and road construction projects covering the districts of Kadıköy, Beyoğlu, and Üsküdar. Representing the second generation of the family, Ağa Demircioğlu continued construction as the main contractor for the Istanbul Water Authority. With the establishment of ISKI in 1982, he has completed all of ISKI's investor department projects without interruption from that date to the present day as an institutional contractor.

In 1981, AON Construction Industry and Trade Ltd. was established, taking its first steps towards institutionalization. Since then, it has served as the main contractor for reputable institutions in the country such as İSKİ, DSİ, İller Bankası, and Köy İşleri. Since 2001, under the leadership of the third generation of the company, it has formed consortiums with leading European Union companies in countries such as Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, and Iraq, completing the projects it has undertaken with certificates of appreciation.

In this regard, corporate governance and business ethics, the transmission of this culture to future generations, and the principle that the interests of the country take precedence over any personal interests are the fundamental tenets of our company.

Best Regards...
Toros Demircioğlu
Chairman of the Board of Directors
