THE FOUNDATIONS THAT MAKE US WHO WE ARE
The story of Osman Benzeş began with a simple dream. When he started, he didn’t know his dream would grow to such extent – but there was one thing he knew; that if he wanted his dream to come alive, he’d have to be courageous and work diligently.
After spending years working as an apprentice with his father who was a tailor, Mr. Benzeş had learned the business from a very early age on. It was his vision that took the family heritage a step further, turning a modest tailoring shop to an international business.
The venture that began in a tiny facility producing trousers quickly grew to be a major supplier to 60 cities and over 120 brands nationwide. Looking to grow further, Benzeş searched for alternative markets, and soon began producing and exporting overseas to Europe and US.
As the facility and production capabilities grew, so did his vision. Never one to settle for average, the company became one of the largest in Turkey – currently an economic driver in its area providing employment opportunities for over thousands of people.
THE FABRIC OF OUR CULTURE
The work ethic of Mr. Benzeş is the thread of APS’s cultural fabric today.
