What Aygaz does

Aygaz Anonim Şirketi is Turkey's largest LPG fuel distribution company, founded in 1961 and headquartered in Istanbul, operating as an energy subsidiary of Koç Holding, the country's largest conglomerate. The company runs an integrated LPG value chain spanning domestic cylinder gas (2kg portable to 45kg industrial), autogas (otogaz) for vehicles via a national station network, bulk industrial supply, and an emerging international LPG trading operation that generated $391 million in overseas revenue on 1.777 million tons of sales in the first nine months of 2025. A $119 million shipbuilding contract with HD Hyundai Samho for a dual-fuel Very Large Gas Carrier (VLGC), scheduled for Q2 2028 delivery, signals strategic expansion into owned maritime LPG logistics and is equivalent to roughly 12.5% of market capitalization and 49% of net tangible fixed assets.

The business extends well beyond core LPG into an outdoor lifestyle portfolio — barbecue equipment (cabin, portable, standing, electric, smokeless), camping stoves, cartridges, patio and indoor heaters, caravan and marine LPG regulators/hoses, and EcoFlow portable power stations — sold through both physical retail and the aygaz.com.tr e-commerce storefront. The Aygaz Mobil app powers the Aygaz 100 Oktan autogas loyalty program (points worth 2x when redeemed in-app) with cross-vertical partner redemptions at Koçtaş, Madame Coco, and S Sport+. Go-to-market is a hybrid of direct-to-consumer retail (cylinder points of sale, autogas stations, branded online store), authorized dealer channels, and direct industrial sales, with pay-as-you-go unit pricing across most SKUs and a 10-25% promotional discount cadence on lifestyle merchandise.

Revenue mechanics rest on three pillars: domestic LPG distribution (hardware sales of cylinders plus cylinder deposits), international LPG trading and shipping (transaction-based, now backed by owned VLGC capacity from 2028), and consumer products (barbecue, camping, heaters, EcoFlow, Pürsu water). The customer base is highly diversified across household, commercial, industrial, automotive, marine, caravan, and outdoor recreation segments, with no concentrated enterprise anchor. Operationally the company is mid-investment-cycle, financing growth through a planned up-to-3 billion Lira domestic debt issuance announced in December 2025 alongside the multi-year VLGC capex.
