LEADERSHIP
Message from the Chairman of the Board
At KEY Holding, our journey began in Kahramanmaraş in the 1950s. By preserving the enthusiasm of our early years and our commitment to our values, we have grown into a strong, dynamic organisation operating across multiple sectors.
Rooted in paper production, our story has developed into a multi-sector success through investments in strategic fields including packaging, textiles, construction, energy, recycling, international trade and logistics. Sustainability and social benefit have remained priorities at every step.
Guided by the principle “Local Strength, Global Impact,” our export strategy connects domestic production capabilities with global markets. We embrace an approach that respects nature, upholds our values and considers our wider social impact.
Drawing strength from our past and confidence from the future, we remain committed to growing, producing and creating value together with all our stakeholders.

6 FEBRUARY
In Remembrance
Some dates are more than a page on the calendar.
6 February marks a profound wound and an enduring sorrow for our nation. We will never forget the tens of thousands of lives lost that day, the lasting grief of those left behind or the spirit of solidarity shown shoulder to shoulder.
Our thoughts remain with everyone who lost loved ones in the earthquakes and all those who continue to carry this immense grief. May those we lost rest in peace.
