Founder’s message

When we founded AKFA in 2000, our goal was to build a new type of industrial infrastructure — local in execution, yet global in standards and approach. From the very beginning, we chose institutional growth, strong managerial discipline, and technological independence. This choice defined the development of the holding and remains an unwavering guiding principle behind all our decisions and projects today.
