The only thing we need is to work." will always be our guide on the road to the future. OYAK, founded in 1961, has worked, produced and shared for 62 years as Türkiye's most successful supplementary occupational pension fund. Today, with the agility, flexibility, scale and strength offered by the resilient structure it has built, OYAK has successfully managed the challenges of domestic and international markets, accurately anticipated risks, and skillfully used opportunities to reinforce value-added production."

In this regard, we aim to realize a transformation investment of 3.2 billion dollars in Erdemir and İsdemir by the end of 2030. Within the scope of this plan, the installation of a solar power plant with an annual electricity generation capacity of 1.7 million MWh is also included."

In the exceptional market conditions of 2023, I wish this rate to be beneficial to all our members and to be sustainably repeated. In 2023, we continued to work continuously to improve the services we offer to our members and strengthen the benefits we provide, always aiming to do more. In brief, we worked with confidence and determination as a global group operating on 6 continents and with equity of more than USD 10 billion.
