==History==
==History==
Enka was founded in 1957 in Istanbul, Turkey, by 27-year-old [[Şarık Tara]] and his brother-in-law, [[Sadi Gülçelik]].<ref name="Hurr-30062018"/> Tara and Gülçelik chose Enka as the name of the company from the first syllable of two words, "enişte" and "kayınbirader" meaning "brother-in-law".<ref name="Hurr-30062018"/> Gülçelik died in 1980 in a Saudi Arabian airplane crash and Tara became the sole proprietor.<ref name="NYT-20031982"/> Around the same time, Enka began acquiring larger scale projects, increasing their rank as one of the top 250 international contractors.<ref name="NYT-20031982"/>
===1957–1970===
ENKA’s history begins in 1957 with the partnership between Şarık Tara and the late Sadi Gülçelik who was the husband of Tara's sister Vildan. The company was registered in İstanbul as a limited liability company with the name, “Şarık Tara ve Sadi Gülçelik ENKA Limited Şirketi”. The abbreviation "ENKA" comes from the phrase "''enişte – kayınbirader''", both words meaning [[brother-in-law]] in [[Turkish language|Turkish]], or, more specifically, "the husband of one's sister or aunt" and "the brother of one's spouse", used to refer to Gülçelik and Tara respectively.


In 1972, the company established Enka Pazarlama, a sales-focused subsidiary for several earthmoving equipment and construction machinery brands.<ref name="Milliyet-1983">{{cite news |title=60 Years in Economy |url=http://gazetearsivi.milliyet.com.tr/Arsiv/1983/11/02 |work=[[Milliyet]] |date=2 November 1983 |access-date=6 November 2018}}</ref> The following year, Enka founded Cimtas, one of the company's fully owned subsidiaries.<ref name="Pipeline 2017">{{cite news |title=Cimtas turns heads with integrated piping solutions at ADIPEC |url=https://www.pipelineoilandgasnews.com/adipec-news/2017/december/cimtas-turns-heads-with-integrated-piping-solutions-at-adipec/ |work=Pipeline Oil and Gas Magazine |date=17 December 2017 |access-date=5 October 2018}}</ref> The company expanded internationally during the 1970s and 1980s.<ref name="Daily-28062018"/>
Its earliest projects included the construction of industrial plants, docks, marine slipways, shipyards, grain silos, bridges, roads and piers, all in the İstanbul area.


Sarik Tara passed the company to his son, Sinan Tara, in 1984.<ref name="Nulla-5112017"/> Sarik was 56 years old, and Sinan wanted to preserve Enka's tradition of having young leaders.<ref name="Hurr-30062018"/> Sarık Tara's grandson, Mehmet Tara, became CEO at age 29.<ref>{{cite web |title=Profile-Person-Mehmet Sinan Tara |url=https://www.forbes.com/profile/mehmet-sinan-tara/?sh=6689942e5d31 |website=Forbes |access-date=4 October 2022}}</ref>
Among the significant projects of the early years were the construction of the Aksu paper mill, the Chrysler truck assembly plant and the Haydarpaşa grain silos in Turkey.

In the 1960s, ENKA made its first investments in two manufacturing industries with the establishment of the Pimaş Plastic and Altaş Steel Hand Tools factories.


In 1997, Enka and the Turkish company Migros founded RamEnka in a joint venture, building shopping centers across Russia.<ref name="Reut-11092007">{{cite news |title=UPDATE 1-Turkey's Migros sells Enka its 50 pct Ramenka stake |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSL1117891020070911 |publisher=[[Reuters]] |date=11 September 2007 |access-date=10 September 2018}}</ref> Enka acquired all of RamEnka stock when Migros sold their half of the company in 2007.<ref name="Reut-11092007"/> Enka had built 10 shopping malls in Russia by 2000.<ref name="IPR-13122001">{{cite news |title=Turkey: ENKA Planning New Mall Project in Russia |url=|work=Info-Prod Research (Middle East) |date=13 December 2001}}</ref> The company has been regarded as one of the main providers of construction services in the Russian market since the 1990s.<ref name="ekon-11012016">{{cite news |title=Sharyk Tara: "I consider the high degree of tension between Russia and Turkey to be a misfortune" |url=http://vestnikkavkaza.net/articles/Sharyk-Tara-I-consider-the-high-degree-of-tension-between-Russia-and-Turkey-to-be-a-misfortune.html |work=[[Ekonomist (Turkey)|Ekonomist]] |date=11 January 2016 |access-date=20 September 2018}}</ref>
In 1967, following a decade of rapid growth, the partnership was transformed into a joint stock company and its name was altered to “ENKA İnşaat ve Sanayi Anonim Şirketi.”


===1970–1980===
==Projects==
Enka's earliest projects include the İstinye Highway Bridge and the Babaeski-Kuleli road construction in Istanbul.<ref name="Milliyet-2018">{{cite news |title=Sarık Tara lost his life|url=http://www.milliyet.com.tr/sarik-tara-hayatini-kaybetti-ekonomi-2697159/ |page=3 |work=Milliyet |date=28 June 2018 |access-date=6 November 2018}}</ref> In the early 1970s, Enka, in a partnership with German company Wayss and Freytag, built the Ortaköy viaducts and the [[Bosphorus Bridge]].<ref name="Milliyet-2018"/> Enka continued to expand internationally in the 1980s with the award of the 1981 housing development contract in Al Medinah, Saudi Arabia, in a joint venture with the company Kutlutas.<ref name="Milliyet-Nov1981">{{cite news |title=Kutlutaş and ENKA win TL52 billion contract in Saudi Arabia |page=4 |work=Milliyet |date=24 November 1981}}</ref>
ENKA’s activities shifted from local projects in the İstanbul region to larger and more diverse projects across Turkey and beyond.


Throughout the early 1980s, Enka worked on different kinds of projects in the Middle East, such as water treatment facilities and cement plants.<ref name="Cumhuriyet-29051982">{{cite news |title=Three new contracts worth USD 171 million awarded to Enka in Saudi Arabia |work=[[Cumhuriyet]] |issue=20769 |page=6|date=29 May 1982}}</ref><ref name="Cumhuriyet-24041983">{{cite news |title=Turkish companies paint the desert green in Iraq |last1=Yasin |first1=Mehmet |work=Cumhuriyet |date=24 April 1983}}</ref> During this time, Enka built Turkey's first natural gas power plant, the Trakya Natural Gas Combined Cycle Plant.<ref name="Cumhuriyet-20121984">{{cite news |title=First-ever Natural Gas Plant to be built in Thrace |work=Cumhuriyet |issue=21665 |page=12 |date=20 December 1984}}</ref> In 1984, Enka, in collaboration with Toyo, completed the construction of the [[Kirkuk–Ceyhan Oil Pipeline|Iraq-Turkey Crude Oil Pipeline Expansion project]].<ref name="Cumhuriyet-09081984">{{cite news |title=State Minister İsmail Özdağlar: the Government avoids new investments |work=Cumhuriyet |issue=21535 |page=9 |date=9 August 1984}}</ref>
The construction, in the 1970s, of the 150-MW Tunçbilek Thermal Power Plant stands out as ENKA’s first power project and the first step on the road to large-scale energy investments.


Enka undertook various construction projects in the late 1980s and the beginning of the 1990s, including the [[Bekhme Dam]] in Iraq,<ref name="Cumhuriyet-30111986">{{cite news |title=Bekhme Dam Awarded to ENKA |work=Cumhiriyet |issue=22304 |page=8 |date=30 September 1986}}</ref> the [[Petrovsky Passage]] in Russia,<ref name="Structural Repair">{{cite book |title=Structural Repair and Maintenance of Historical Buildings II|last1=Brebbia |first1=C.A. |last2=Dominguez |first2=J. |last3=Escrig |first3=F. |year=1991 |publisher=Computational Mechanics Publications |location=Istanbul |isbn=978-1562520793 |pages=321–340}}</ref> and the Ankara-Gerede Motorway, in a partnership with [[Bechtel]]. Around this time, Enka was also responsible for the construction of the Russian Federation Government House, known as the "[[White House (Moscow)|White House]]".<ref name="Milliyet-27061994">{{cite news |title=ENKA wins giant tender in Russia |work=Milliyet |page=5 |date=27 June 1994}}</ref>
Other key projects within Turkey in this period include the construction of the Bosphorus Bridge approach roads and viaducts, and such specialized construction projects as the coke furnaces, raw material preparation systems, rolling mill plant and blast furnace in the İskenderun Iron and Steel Works, the largest industrial plant in Turkey at the time.


Enka entered another joint venture with Bechtel in 1993 with the [[Tengiz Field|Tengiz Oil Field]] project in western [[Kazakhstan]].<ref name="JOC-23071997">{{cite news |title=Bechtel gets $250 million project to expand Kazakstan oilfield by 30 percent |last1=Ewing |first1=Jonathan |url=https://www.joc.com/maritime-news/bechtel-gets-250-million-project-expand-kazakstan-oilfield-30-percent_19970722.html |work=[[The Journal of Commerce]] |date=23 July 1997 |access-date=20 September 2018}}</ref> In 1997, Enka and Bechtel were awarded the rights to build and operate the [[Gebze]], [[Adapazarı]], and [[İzmir gas power plant|Izmir gas power plants]].<ref name="Enerji-2018">{{cite news |title=Founded the Largest Natural Gas Power Plants in Turkey |url=https://www.enerjiekonomisi.com/turkiye-nin-en-buyuk-dogalgaz-santrallerini-kurdu/2281/ |work=Enerji Ekonomisi |date=29 June 2018 |access-date=9 October 2018}}</ref> Both companies began work on the Bregana-Zagreb-Dubrovnik Motorway in Croatia in 1998.<ref name="Hurriyet-21101998">{{cite news |title=ENKA to build motorway in Croatia |url=http://www.hurriyet.com.tr/ekonomi/enka-hirvatistanda-otoyol-yapacak-39043911 |work=[[Hürriyet]] |date=21 October 1998 |access-date=19 November 2018}}</ref> The Gebze and Adapazarı Plants were completed in 2002 and the İzmir Plant, in 2003.

Drawing on the strength of its experience in Turkey, ENKA began its initial overseas projects during this decade. ENKA is the first Turkish construction company to have effectively participated in extensive projects abroad. After completing the Benghazi Cement Plant, ENKA built four more cement plants in Libya between 1972 and 1978. The Yamama Cement Plant, and the Riyadh and Jeddah lime factories were ENKA’s initial projects in Saudi Arabia during the same period.


Enka began construction of the Sakhalin II Onshore Processing Facility Project in [[Sakhalin|Sakhalin Island]], Russia, in a collaborative project with Tekhnostroieksport and Bechtel, in 2003.<ref name="Pravada-2003">{{cite news |title=Russian company secures order from Sakhalin-2 |url=http://www.pravdareport.com/news/russia/27-06-2003/51387-0 |work=[[Pravda.ru]] |date=27 June 2003 |access-date=8 October 2018}}</ref> In November of the same year, Enka worked with Tekhnostroieksport on the construction of the Sakhalin I De-Kastri Oil Export Terminal.<ref name="Prima-2006">{{cite news |title=Oil export system commissioned as part of the Sakhalin-1 project |url=https://primamedia.ru/news/20521/ |work=Prima Media |date=11 September 2006 |access-date=8 October 2018}}</ref> In 2004, Enka and Bechtel began work on the Transylvanian Motorway in Romania, the biggest infrastructure project in Europe.<ref name="WH-012009">{{cite news |title=Transylvania Motorway: route to prosperity |url=http://www.worldhighways.com/sections/eurofile/products/transylvania-motorway-route-to-prosperity/ |work=World Highways |date=January 2009 |access-date=24 September 2018}}</ref> The project concluded in 2013.<ref name="WH-012009"/> The companies also worked together in 2007 to build [[Albania-Kosovo Highway|Albania's first two-bore tunnel]] in a highway connecting Kosovo and Albania.<ref name="Reuters-2007">{{cite news |title=Highway set to bring Albania and Kosovo closer |last1=Koleka |first1=Benet |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-albania-kosovo-link/highway-set-to-bring-albania-and-kosovo-closer-idUSL261003820070628?pageNumber=2&virtualBrandChannel=0 |publisher=Reuters |date=28 June 2007 |access-date=20 November 2018}}</ref>
Throughout its expansion, ENKA has diversified, and at the same time has retained its core business. ENKA Group accordingly concentrated its operations in the three principal fields of contracting, manufacturing and trade. ENKA Export Import Company was founded in 1972 and it soon became the leading export company in Turkey. In response to the rapid expansion of the volume of business, ENKA converted its specialized departments into individual companies. Çimtaş, Titaş and Kasktaş were founded to continue the fabrication and erection of steel, earthworks, soil engineering and pile works.


Enka finished construction on the Donbass Arena, in Donetsk, Ukraine, in 2009.<ref name="Tribun-5062012">{{cite news |title=Donbass Arena Stadium: Stay Warm in Winter |url=http://www.tribunnews.com/euro-2012/2012/06/05/stadion-donbas-arena-tetap-hangat-di-musim-dingin |work=Tribun News |date=5 June 2012 |access-date=25 September 2018}}</ref> In April 2010, the Enka-Bechtel partnership was awarded a contract for the construction of the 78 kilometre Route 7 four-lane motorway from Morine to the north of Pristina in Kosovo, and finished a year ahead of schedule in November 2013.<ref name="WH-10292015">{{cite news |title=Bechtel Enka opens first section of Pristina-Skopje motorway |url=http://www.worldhighways.com/categories/auctions-equipment-supply-servicing-finance/news/bechtel-enka-opens-first-section-of-pristina-skopje-motorway/ |work=World Highways |date=29 October 2015 |access-date=24 September 2018}}</ref> In approximately 2011, Enka signed on a joint venture, BEB Consortium, with Bechtel and Jeff Brighton of Bahwan, on the redesign of the Muscat International Airport in Oman.

===1980–1990===
In the early 1980s, ENKA continued to sign contracts for increasingly larger scale projects broadening the scope of its operations in Turkey as well as in Libya, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Jordan.


Enka was awarded an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract to convert the Erbil Independent Power Project from simple-cycle to combined-cycle technology and began work in summer 2012.<ref name="Meed-2011">{{cite news |title=Enka to convert Kurdistan power project to combined cycle |url=https://www.meed.com/enka-to-convert-kurdistan-power-project-to-combined-cycle/ |work=Middle East Business Intelligence |date=27 December 2011 |access-date=10 October 2018}}</ref><ref name="ENR-11102017">{{cite news |title=Project of the Year & Best Power/Industrial - Sulaymaniyah 1,500 MW Combined Cycle Power Plant |last1=Wright |first1=Andrew G. |url=https://www.enr.com/articles/43022-project-of-the-year-best-powerindustrial---sulaymaniyah-1500-mw-combined-cycle-power-plant |work=[[Engineering News-Record]] |date=11 October 2017 |access-date=24 September 2018}}</ref> Around the same time, Enka began construction of the third generator unit at the [[Beryozovskaya GRES|Berezovskaya]] power plant in Sharypovsky, Russia.

Enka İnşaat ve Sanayi A.Ş. (stylized as ENKA) is a Turkish engineering and construction company based in Istanbul.[2] Enka provides construction and engineering services through its subsidiaries in approximately 30 countries across the world.[3][4] As of 2023, Enka was listed third among the largest construction companies in Turkey. [4]

Company

Enka is a global engineering and construction company headquartered in Istanbul, Turkey.[2] In addition to engineering and construction, its operations include energy,[5] real estate,[6] trading,[7] and manufacturing.[8] The company has been involved in the construction of power plants,[2] airports,[9] bridges,[8] pipelines,[8] motorways,[10] business towers[11] and shopping centers.[5] Mehmet Tara is president and chairman of the board, as of 2022.[12] As of May 2017, Enka employed 31,237 people.[13] Enka is publicly traded in Borsa, Istanbul (BIST).[4]

Enka was listed at #270 on Forbes' "Global 2000: World's Best Employers" in 2017.[13]

History

Enka was founded in 1957 in Istanbul, Turkey, by 27-year-old Şarık Tara and his brother-in-law, Sadi Gülçelik.[3] Tara and Gülçelik chose Enka as the name of the company from the first syllable of two words, "enişte" and "kayınbirader" meaning "brother-in-law".[3] Gülçelik died in 1980 in a Saudi Arabian airplane crash and Tara became the sole proprietor.[8] Around the same time, Enka began acquiring larger scale projects, increasing their rank as one of the top 250 international contractors.[8]

In 1972, the company established Enka Pazarlama, a sales-focused subsidiary for several earthmoving equipment and construction machinery brands.[14] The following year, Enka founded Cimtas, one of the company's fully owned subsidiaries.[15] The company expanded internationally during the 1970s and 1980s.[5]

Sarik Tara passed the company to his son, Sinan Tara, in 1984.[4] Sarik was 56 years old, and Sinan wanted to preserve Enka's tradition of having young leaders.[3] Sarık Tara's grandson, Mehmet Tara, became CEO at age 29.[16]

The Enka Moscow office opened in 1987.[17] After the breakup of the Soviet Union, Enka delivered goods and services, ultimately building a strong business relationship with Russia.[5] The company collaborated with the Moscow city government in 1995 to build the MosEnka development.[18] In the mid-1990s, Enka built a second investment company, Moskva Krasnye Holmy, building offices, shopping centers, and recreation facilities across Russia.[19]

In 1997, Enka and the Turkish company Migros founded RamEnka in a joint venture, building shopping centers across Russia.[20] Enka acquired all of RamEnka stock when Migros sold their half of the company in 2007.[20] Enka had built 10 shopping malls in Russia by 2000.[21] The company has been regarded as one of the main providers of construction services in the Russian market since the 1990s.[22]

Projects

Enka's earliest projects include the İstinye Highway Bridge and the Babaeski-Kuleli road construction in Istanbul.[23] In the early 1970s, Enka, in a partnership with German company Wayss and Freytag, built the Ortaköy viaducts and the Bosphorus Bridge.[23] Enka continued to expand internationally in the 1980s with the award of the 1981 housing development contract in Al Medinah, Saudi Arabia, in a joint venture with the company Kutlutas.[24]

Throughout the early 1980s, Enka worked on different kinds of projects in the Middle East, such as water treatment facilities and cement plants.[25][26] During this time, Enka built Turkey's first natural gas power plant, the Trakya Natural Gas Combined Cycle Plant.[27] In 1984, Enka, in collaboration with Toyo, completed the construction of the Iraq-Turkey Crude Oil Pipeline Expansion project.[28]

Enka undertook various construction projects in the late 1980s and the beginning of the 1990s, including the Bekhme Dam in Iraq,[29] the Petrovsky Passage in Russia,[30] and the Ankara-Gerede Motorway, in a partnership with Bechtel. Around this time, Enka was also responsible for the construction of the Russian Federation Government House, known as the "White House".[31]

Enka entered another joint venture with Bechtel in 1993 with the Tengiz Oil Field project in western Kazakhstan.[32] In 1997, Enka and Bechtel were awarded the rights to build and operate the Gebze, Adapazarı, and Izmir gas power plants.[33] Both companies began work on the Bregana-Zagreb-Dubrovnik Motorway in Croatia in 1998.[34] The Gebze and Adapazarı Plants were completed in 2002 and the İzmir Plant, in 2003. All three power plants are still in use, as of 2018.[33] Enka signed a contract in 2001 for work constructing an artificial island for the development of the Kashagan Oil Field, which is the largest oil field discovered in Kazakhstan in the last 30 years.[35]

Enka began construction of the Sakhalin II Onshore Processing Facility Project in Sakhalin Island, Russia, in a collaborative project with Tekhnostroieksport and Bechtel, in 2003.[36] In November of the same year, Enka worked with Tekhnostroieksport on the construction of the Sakhalin I De-Kastri Oil Export Terminal.[37] In 2004, Enka and Bechtel began work on the Transylvanian Motorway in Romania, the biggest infrastructure project in Europe.[38] The project concluded in 2013.[38] The companies also worked together in 2007 to build Albania's first two-bore tunnel in a highway connecting Kosovo and Albania.[39]

Enka finished construction on the Donbass Arena, in Donetsk, Ukraine, in 2009.[40] In April 2010, the Enka-Bechtel partnership was awarded a contract for the construction of the 78 kilometre Route 7 four-lane motorway from Morine to the north of Pristina in Kosovo, and finished a year ahead of schedule in November 2013.[41] In approximately 2011, Enka signed on a joint venture, BEB Consortium, with Bechtel and Jeff Brighton of Bahwan, on the redesign of the Muscat International Airport in Oman. This is one of the largest projects in the history of Oman.[9]

Enka was awarded an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract to convert the Erbil Independent Power Project from simple-cycle to combined-cycle technology and began work in summer 2012.[42][43] Around the same time, Enka began construction of the third generator unit at the Berezovskaya power plant in Sharypovsky, Russia. The structural design of this project is comparable to the first two generators at the Berezovskaya power plant, but features an upgrade to increase efficiency and reduce nitrogen oxide emissions.[44] Enka was the lead contractor for the engineering, procurement and construction of the Sulaymaniyah 1,500 MW Combined Cycle Power Plant Project in Iraq that began in 2013.[43]

Enka and Bechtel also worked together to build a 60-kilometer motorway linking Pristina to Skopje, starting in June 2014.[41] The Enka-Bechtel joint venture also signed a contract for the South Caucasus Pipeline Expansion Project in Georgia, in October of the same year.[45] Enka developed Kuntsevo Plaza during 2015–2016.[46] Around the same time, the company started work on the Kashirskaya Shopping Center investment project.[47]

Enka signed on to build the Bismayah power plant in Baghdad, Iraq, supplying approximately 5 million homes with power.[48] In November 2017, four Enka employees were kidnapped in Benghazi while traveling from the airport to the power plant in Ubari, Libya.[49] Employees were met with security issues and work was paused from late January 2018 to the end of February 2018.[49][2]

Enka collaborated with Siemen's to build the 495 MW power plant for Nizhnekamskneftekhim, a subsidiary of Taif Group, in Tatarstan, Russia, in late 2017.[50] Commercial operation is set to begin May 2021.[51]

In mid-2018, Enka began construction of the quay wall for the Basra Multi-purpose Terminal, the largest multipurpose port facility in Iraq.[52]

Enka in a partnership with Bechtel, signed a contract for the design and construction of Morava Corridor Motorway in Serbia in December 2019. The project with a total length of 112 kilometers will be completed by the end of the 2023.[53]

In late 2019, Enka began work on the High-Technological Multifunctional Medical Complex (HMMC) Project in St. Petersburg, Russia. Construction and design works include a main hospital building, oncology center, diesel generator building, and oxygen station structures. The complex will feature cancer treatment using the Proton therapy to significantly reduce the amount of radiation exposure during treatment.[54]

In September 2021, Enka signed a contract for the execution of all piping systems of the power island at Hinkley Point C Nuclear Power Station being built in Somerset, United Kingdom.[55]
