Our Wilo Turkey adventure, which started 30 years ago, on 23 March 1992, in Erenköy, Istanbul with 10-15 people on a 300m2 area, continued with a steady growth with each passing day. We continue our journey, which started with a small team, with a large family of approximately 1000 people across Turkey, together with our team, authorised dealers and services working under our head office established on an area of 9,000 m2 today. However, we feel and see that this will not be enough for us in the near future and that we need to accelerate our growth plans. It is a pleasant coincidence that while we are celebrating our 30th anniversary in Turkey this year, we have also 150th anniversary in the world.

Thus, we will continue the success story of Wilo, which has great potential, both in Turkey and in the world. I would like to thank all our friends who have accompanied us on this journey for 30 years and worked with us to build the future today.
