THE BIRGIMEFAR GROUP OF COMPANIES
Birgi, the native town of the founders of our
group of companies, is situated near the west coast of Turkey and
is well known for some of the finest examples of early Turkish
architecture in Asia Minor. The tradition of pride displayed in the
works of the old craftsmen of this ancient little town is reflected
in the products of the BirgiMefar group of companies.
Starting in 1963 with the establisment of Birgi Sanayi A.Ş., and
enjoying a vigorous growth since then, the group presently
comprises several manufacturing, trading, distributing and service
companies.
In June 2011, a controlling interest in the Group was acquired
by Ethemba Capital and NBGI Private Equity under the new company
called Mefar International. The Group Managing Director, Üstün
Baharoğlu, continues to own the balance of his equity in the
business.
Adnan Birgi
The founder of our group of companies, adnan Birgi (1901-1983),
left a successful banking career in 1947 to become the pioneer of
the tubular glass container industry in Turkey.
His continuous quest for perfection and his limitless energy
have always been a source of inspiration to those around him. The
family atmosphere and a strong sense of belonging together, so
evident throughout the group, is a direct result of his intense
personal involvement and human interest. We are proud to follow his
legacy of total dedication to perfection in the service of our
customers.
