Ford Otosan

Consumer Discretionary

Ford Otosan is the Turkish vehicle maker owned in equal parts by Ford Motor Company and Koc Holding. Its ties to Ford began in 1928, when Vehbi Koc became a dealer in Ankara, and the Otosan factory in Istanbul was founded in 1959 to build Fords such as the Consul and later the Transit. The company took its present form in 1977 and now works plants in Kocaeli, Eskisehir and Craiova in Romania, plus a research centre near Istanbul.
