IC Holding

What IC Holding does

IC Holding (legal name IC İbrahim Çeçen Yatırım Holding A.Ş.) is a privately held Turkish diversified conglomerate founded in 1969 and headquartered in Ankara. It operates through wholly-owned subsidiaries across five core verticals: construction and infrastructure (IC İçtaş İnşaat, IC Altyapı, IC Nükleer ve Endüstri, Karasuport, İçtaş Ağır Endüstri), energy generation, distribution and retail (IC İçtaş Enerji, IC Enterra Yenilenebilir Enerji, TREDAŞ, Trepaş, ETİC), tourism and hospitality (IC Hotels, IC Bomonti, Çeşme Marina, IC İçtur, Zafer Airport, IC Gayrimenkul), industrial manufacturing (Treysan), and the İbrahim Çeçen Vakfı foundation for social responsibility.

IC Holding combines EPC project execution, regulated and merchant utility operations, asset-light tourism services, and modular construction under a single corporate umbrella. Its technology footprint spans 935 MW of installed electricity capacity (target 1,130 MW with solar/wind-plus-storage additions), 7.3 billion kWh/year of regulated distribution through Thrace, 7.5 billion kWh/year of national retail electricity sales, 485 MW of storage-coupled renewable pipeline (IC Enterra), and a modular prefabricated manufacturing business (Treysan) exporting roughly 90% of output to Central Asia and the GCC. Notable completed and ongoing projects include the Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge and Northern Marmara Motorway (BOT), the Akkuyu Nuclear Power Plant, the King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, an 880 million Euro Romania railway modernization portfolio, and Akçahalil wind-plus-storage.

Revenue is generated through a mix of lumpy construction contracts (large government BOT/PPP tenders across Turkey, Romania, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Kazakhstan, and Oman), regulated distribution tariffs and merchant/contracted generation (IC İçtaş Enerji, TREDAŞ, Trepaş, ETİC), recurring tourism revenue (IC Hotels resorts, IC Bomonti congress center, marinas, airport F&B), and international B2B sales of modular prefabricated units. The group is family-controlled (İbrahim Çeçen as founder-Chairman, Fırat Çeçen as Vice Chairman) and recently formalized an institutional partnership with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Future Enerji to enter the AI-focused data center market for export to UAE, Spain, and Finland.
