Anatolia proudly celebrates its 30th anniversary, commemorating three decades of design excellence, innovation, and remarkable international growth.

Founded by Cengiz Elmaagacli and now led by Cengiz, Bekir, and Berrin, Anatolia has remained deeply rooted in the core values that defined its earliest days—honesty, integrity, respect, and a strong sense of family. Today, the company operates close to 5 million sq ft of facilities worldwide, reflecting a powerful journey built on dedication and vision.
