About Us
Mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures and greenfield start-up
investments are usually handled as strategic decisions which
are commonly interrelated with the objectives of:
- finding a reliable partner with competence and expertise;
- entering into a new market and/or business field;
- assessing and minimizing the risks;
- increasing output capacity;
- diversifying the product spectrum;
- benefiting from cost advantages and pre-empting the
move of a competitor.
Turkey has long been favoured as one of the strongest leading
emerging markets within Europe, with many multinationals
establishing a presence here. There are a number of reasons
why an international business should invest in Turkey. The
mission of GRANIT is highly dependent on these reasons.
Since domestic savings are low and most financial institutions
are faced with limitations for financing large scale investment
projects in Turkey, co-operation with foreign investors
through the transfer of capital, new technology and management,
represents an attractive spectrum of opportunities for Turkish
companies seeking growth.
Over the last two decades, the
climate for doing business in Turkey has changed considerably.
The Turkish economy has opened up with the abolition of
barriers to foreign investments in order to encourage foreign
investors and multinationals. Turkish public policies emphasize
infrastructure investments as well as large scale privatizations.
Given the flourishing economic fundamentals of expanding
markets and the sweeping trend in globalization, Turkey,
as one of the most strategically compelling countries in
the region, offers substantial opportunities and an excellent
base for investors and international businesses seeking
a gateway to serve Europe, the Middle East, the CIS and
the Turk Republics of Central Asia. Moreover, Turkey embodies
a vast wealth of natural and human resources, underexploited
markets, and a dynamic business environment with increasing
westernization in the business culture which sets the tone
for a lucrative atmosphere. Given these substantial opportunities
and our most favourable business climate, today is the most
opportune time for entering into business in Turkey.
