Istikbal
started manufacturing activities in the late 1950’s, and became a leader in
the furniture sector because of heavy investments, and successful marketing
strategies. We’ve always done our best to keep track of supply and demand, and
keep investments in tune with market demands. New investments continued through
the ‘80s and ‘90s to result in the current integrated facility, which has come
to make Istikbal a recognized brand name in homes throughout the world. Most of
Istikbal’s investments are based in Kayseri Organized Industrial Zone on a
total of 361,000 m² covered area as manufacturing plants. Over 650 different
products are manufactured at Istikbal plants.

Celik facilities are the largest of Istikbal’s investments with 112,000 m²
