Gonorsu Mosque, Builder: Arif Öztürk
Our grandfather's legacy.
Our story began by chiseling a stone.
The year 1965. We processed our first marble in a small workshop in Kemeraltı, Izmir. Our father, Sadık Öztürk, patiently, skillfully, with the sweat of his brow...
Then time passed. Factories were established, quarries were opened. But we never lost the care we had when carving the first stone.
We still work with the same values today. Because we don't just process stone...
We are keeping a legacy alive.
It all began in 1965, in a small stonecutter's shop in İzmir’s Kemeraltı.
Under the craftsmanship of the late Sadık Öztürk and his nephew Sıtkı Ayazoğlu, stone became more than just a material—it became meaning. Over time, this small workshop grew into a factory, then a brand, and finally into a symbol of timeless craftsmanship.
In 1985, we took a major step forward by establishing our first factory on Anadolu Street. Later, with the addition of our marble quarries in Yatağan / Muğla and a second factory founded in 1990 in İzmir Atatürk Organized Industrial Zone, we expanded our capacity and our vision.
Today, Aktaş Mermer is more than a marble producer—it’s a brand that connects history with innovation, and raw material with art. From our quarries in Bursa / Mustafa Kemalpaşa to our factories in İzmir, we process nature’s legacy and deliver it to Turkey and beyond.
We don't just shape stone—we shape heritage. With a commitment passed down through generations, we aim to hand over a sustainable, trusted, and refined brand to the future.
Stone lasts for thousands of years.
Our responsibility is just as enduring.
