We believe that Aytemiz, one of the well-established and reputable players of the fuel oil sector, with an entirely domestic capital, is the business partner most suited for this strategy. Doğan Enerji, the capital of which is fully owned by Doğan Holding, successfully completed its partnership negotiations with Aytemiz Akaryakıt, and acquired half of the company. The acquisition of 50 per cent of Aytemiz shares demonstrates Doğan Group’s determination for presence in the energy business in general, and in fuel oil distribution business specifically. We believe that we will attain a great synergy through the combination of our know-how in the energy and distribution fields as well as our financial strength, with the experience, capability, infrastructure, and sound logistics and distribution network of the Aytemiz Family in the fuel oil industry. This synergy will bring added value for our shareholders, clients, and all our stakeholders in the industry. From this point forward, our objective is to enter the top five in the short term in the fuel oil business.”

“The Doğan Group has attained a leading position in every business it has entered. And it is one of the biggest players of this field with its investments in the energy business. We, on the other hand, have an experience of half a century in the fuel oil main distribution business. With this partnership that we have built with the Doğan Group we will reach a stronger position, and walk towards the future together with confident steps. There is a very tough competition in the fuel oil sector, which is of critical importance for our country. Combining our forces with the Dogan Group will bring about a more efficient, faster, and more profitable growth opportunity for our company. We have come together with the Dogan Group with these thoughts in mind. We are very happy about this partnership, and I wish that this partnership will be beneficial and fruitful for our country, for the fuel oil industry, for our dealers, consumers, and for both partners.”
