Our History
By the Side of Agriculture Since 1944
"Let our hands be in the soil, our hearts in the field."
First Step into the Sector: Agricultural Equipment Production
The foundations of the Kökten family were laid in 1944 with the production of agricultural equipment to meet the needs of the agricultural sector. In this period when modern agriculture was newly taking shape in Turkey, operations began in a small workshop to produce durable and efficient equipment.
Transition to Trailer Production
The need for higher carrying capacity with the growth of agricultural activities directed the company towards trailer production. The durable trailers developed in these years became one of the most reliable assistants of the regional farmer.
Tillage Equipment and "Kürüm" Production
The 1960s were a period when tillage machines were produced and agricultural equipment such as "kürüm", which was in great demand regionally, was developed. These steps enabled the brand to gain a strong position in the agricultural machinery sector.
Opening of Fuel Sales Points
In the mid-1970s, fuel sales points were opened throughout the region to meet the fuel needs of the agricultural sector. In this way, uninterrupted production was supported by providing not only equipment but also fuel access to the farmer.
Modernization of the Agricultural Sector
In parallel with the accelerating mechanization process in Turkey in the 1980s, the company focused on modernization work in agricultural machinery. Added value was provided to farmers' agricultural activities with the production and import support of new generation technological equipment.
Innovative Period in Technological Agricultural Machinery
In the mid-1990s, the company expanded its product range by transitioning to technological agricultural machinery in domestic production. Modern tractor equipment and special production machines that increase efficiency and reduce labor were introduced to the sector.
Establishment of Lidaş
In the 2000s, the company expanded its growth to different areas and the Lidaş brand was established. This structure further strengthened the company's corporate structure by increasing its operational power with logistics, warehousing and agricultural support activities.
Investment in the Bakery Sector
The company established a modern bakery business to take part in the food sector. This investment increased the family brand's capacity to operate in various sectors and contributed to regional employment.
Transition to the Jewelry Sector
In the 2010s, the company further expanded its fields of activity by entering the jewelry sector. The jewelry business established during this period quickly became one of the reputable brands in the region with its quality and reliability-oriented approach.
Research and Preliminary Studies in Fertilizer Field
With the changing needs of the agricultural sector and the increasing importance of sustainable production, the company started comprehensive feasibility studies to enter the fertilizer sector. R&D processes were initiated on organic liquid fertilizers, amino acids, trace elements, NPK and microbial products.
Organic Liquid Fertilizer Investment
2021 was the year of returning to the roots of agriculture for the Kökten family. The foundations of the organic liquid fertilizer production line were laid and infrastructure investments for modern facilities were initiated.
Establishment of R&D Laboratories
All the technical infrastructure necessary for science-based production was established.
Officially started to be developed in laboratories.
Commissioning of Production Facilities
Kökten Gübre commissioned organic liquid fertilizer production facilities equipped with modern technology. In the same year, the first mass production of NPK, trace element and bacteria-based microbial products was realized.
Brand Identity Creation and Launch of Kök S 80+
Kökten Gübre brand was officially institutionalized and the product family expanded.
The company has reached the position of a strong manufacturer offering modern plant nutrition solutions to Turkish agriculture.
