- Koç Holding CEO Levent Çakıroğlu stated: “Despite challenging global economic conditions and increasing competition, we pursue our long-term investment approach with determination.

Koç Holding has announced its financial results for the first nine months of 2026. Making combined investments totalling 2.7 billion dollars in this period, the Group has brought its total combined investments over the last five years to 17.5 billion dollars. The conglomerate’s consolidated revenue for the same period stood at 57.6 billion dollars.
Assessing the financial results, Koç Holding CEO Levent Çakıroğlu highlighted the importance of the Group’s diversified portfolio structure and long-term investment approach. Çakıroğlu said, “Despite challenging global economic conditions and increasing competition, we pursue our long-term investment approach with determination. Thanks to our prudent financial management and strong balance sheet, we are maintaining our financial resilience whilst moving forward in line with our future growth targets. We are increasing our production and technology development capacity in Turkey and capitalising on opportunities in international markets.”
“We are enhancing our production capacity through investments focused on technology and efficiency”
Çakıroğlu explained: “We are enhancing our production capacity through investments focused on technology and efficiency. In this framework, Tofaş has started serial production as part of the K9 project launched with a 300-million-USD investment. Under this project with an annual production capacity of 100,000 finished vehicles, the first model to roll off the production line is the Fiat Dobló, one of the most important models in the Turkish light commercial vehicle market, whilst the Citroën Berlingo, Opel Combo, Peugeot Rifter and Peugeot Partner models will also be produced in Bursa. We regard this investment as a significant step in supporting the international competitive strength of the production and engineering expertise of the Turkish automotive industry.”
One of our concrete examples for this is the Washing Machine Plant commissioned by Arçelik following an investment of approximately 200 million euros over the past five years at the Manisa production campus, also acquired by the company in 2021 for 78.3 million EUR. Equipped with advanced automation systems and data-driven technologies, the facility will enhance our operational efficiency whilst strengthening our position in international markets. We thus continue to combine our production and R&D expertise in Turkey with next-generation technologies.”
“We focus on growing our operational capacity and competitive strength”
Referring to Koç Group’s strategic moves across various sectors, Çakıroğlu observed that the Group is focusing on growing its operational capacity and competitive strength: “Otokar’s armoured vehicle exports worth approximately 1.47 billion USD and its integrated logistics support contract demonstrate the international recognition of our engineering and manufacturing capabilities.”
Çakıroğlu added that Tüpraş continued to deliver a strong operational performance in the first nine months of the year whilst making an uninterrupted contribution to the country’s energy security, remarking: “During this period of continued volatility in global energy markets, Tüpraş successfully continued its operations thanks to high-capacity utilisation, a flexible crude oil supply structure, a robust logistics infrastructure and operational agility. Through its crude oil procurement from various regions, effective product optimisation and a focus on operational excellence, it continues to contribute to our country’s energy supply security whilst also creating value for all its stakeholders.”
Touching upon developments in the tourism sector, Çakıroğlu expressed that Divan Talya which reopened its doors following a comprehensive refurbishment and began welcoming guests via all channels on 30 September, is contributing to Antalya’s high-quality accommodation infrastructure. Çakıroğlu declared: “We have brought Divan Talya, one of Antalya’s iconic buildings, back into the tourism sector. This reflects our confidence in Turkey’s tourism potential and our understanding of long-term investment.”
“We deem climate change to be strategic for the future of our industry”
Speaking about initiatives relating to sustainability and the energy transition, Çakıroğlu emphasised that climate targets are among the Group’s long-term priorities. Recalling that this year’s United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP31) is hosted by Turkey in Antalya and that Koç Holding is a COP31 Global Partner, Çakıroğlu continued: “As Koç Holding, we are proud to be a COP31 Global Partner. We believe that the private sector plays a significant role in the fight against climate change through investment, technology development and collaboration. As we emphasised during our discussions at New York Climate Week, we need to act together to make tangible progress in the transition to a low-carbon economy. As Koç Group, we view sustainability as an integral part of our approach to long-term value creation, and we pursue our work on energy efficiency, renewable resources and low-carbon technologies.
A tangible example of this approach is Entek’s investments in the renewable energy sector. With its projects currently under construction, Entek is preparing to bring additional renewable energy capacity into operation both domestically and abroad. Through these investments, we aim not only to increase renewable energy production but also to strengthen the flexibility and security of supply of the energy system. We believe that these investments will contribute to a more sustainable energy future by accelerating the transition to a low-carbon economy.
We view COP31 as an important opportunity for taking concrete steps to accelerate the low-carbon transition and for developing international cooperation.”
“We will continue to create value for our country in our second century as well”
Maintaining that Koç Group’s 100 years of experience form a strong foundation for its future objectives, Çakıroğlu concluded: “As Koç Holding, we take pride in being the only Turkish company to have featured on the Fortune Global 500 list for 25 consecutive years. Today, through our operations in over 60 countries and our exports reaching more than 155 countries, we are showcasing Turkey’s industrial strength to the world. In our second century as well, we aim to take our globally competitive companies even further by investing in technology, human capital and areas that address the needs of the future. We will continue to manufacture in our country, investing and adding value to Turkey’s future.”
