About
Who is Ufuk Aksan?
An Istanbul-based entrepreneur and industrialist, part of the management of family companies active in waste container manufacturing and hot-dip galvanizing.
Ufuk Aksan is an entrepreneur who grew up inside manufacturing. A journey that began in the family workshop has become a group of companies operating production facilities in Esenyurt, Istanbul — covering waste container manufacturing, hot-dip galvanizing and export operations.
His business approach can be summed up in three words: continuity, quality and trust. With Akmetal he delivers waste management solutions for municipalities; with Kimtaş Galvaniz the group applies corrosion-protective zinc coating in-house; and with Vega Çöp Konteyner its products reach markets from Europe to Central Asia.
Keeping production under its own control is the foundation of Ufuk Aksan's entrepreneurship. Managing every stage under one roof — from raw steel to coating, from coating to delivery — guarantees both quality standards and lead times.
“A product is only as good as its weakest production step. That is why we run the whole chain ourselves.”
