Başkent Organize Sanayi Bölgesi (Başkent OSB)

What Başkent Organize Sanayi Bölgesi (Başkent OSB) does

Başkent Organize Sanayi Bölgesi (Başkent OSB) is a public-service private law legal entity operating under Turkey's OSB Law (4562), governing a ~1,865 hectare organized industrial zone in Malıköy, Sincan (Ankara). Founded on 4 May 2001 with physical groundbreaking by President Erdoğan on 26 December 2003, the zone was expanded via a Ministry-approved 3rd phase in 2019 to become one of Turkey's largest OSBs. It hosts ~498 production facilities across metallurgy and machinery (60%), defense industry (10%), chemicals (9%), food (5%), pharmaceutical and medical (4%), and other sectors (12%), employing 28,000 people and exporting through 80% of participant companies.

The zone operates as an integrated industrial city providing core utility and administrative services: medium/low-voltage electricity distribution with a 2 MW captive solar plant (349,000 MWh/year throughput, 21,500 MWh/year clean generation); natural gas distribution across 78,251 m of pipeline with 1 RMS-A + 7 RMS-B stations (17,968,000 Sm³/year); drinking water distribution across 71,940 m of network with booster stations; a 2,500 m³/day Extended Aeration Activated Sludge wastewater treatment plant (the first conventional wastewater treatment plant among Ankara OSBs); construction, zoning, and operating licensing; environmental and hazardous-waste management; on-site security, fire, and emergency services; and a license-plate-recognition barrier entry system. It also runs a Foreign Trade Intelligence Center (market, customer, competitor, and tender intelligence for exporters) and a Yenilik Merkezi (Innovation Center) plus stacked education infrastructure (Vocational Training Center, Hacettepe University Technical Sciences Vocational School, BOSB Vocational and Technical Anatolian High School with dormitory and sports facilities).

Revenue is generated through (a) one-time/periodic land allocation, transfer, and rental fees for industrial parcels; (b) recurring service fees for utilities, infrastructure maintenance, security, and administration (per the published 2026 Hizmet Bedelleri Tablosu / Service Fee Schedule); and (c) usage-based charges for distributed electricity, natural gas, and water. Pricing is regulated and publicly disclosed. Logistics is anchored by the Yılport Ankara Intermodal Terminal within the zone, handling up to 500,000 TEU/year with rail and road connectivity to Europe, Middle East, and Asia. The entity holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO 50001, Green OSB, and Zero Waste certifications and is governed by a Board of Directors chaired by Şadi Türk, day-to-day operations led by Regional Director Soner Erkek, with 41 entity-level employees.
