Borsan started its first production with 8 employees.
A sales organization was established within Borsan.
Production of lighting products began within Borsan.
Borsan made its first export to Lithuania.
A new chapter of industrialization in Borsan’s journey began with the Copper Cable Production Facility, as production was relocated to the new factory.
The copper cable and PVC granule production facility became operational.
Borsan transitioned into a fully integrated production facility with the introduction of Copper Casting and Granule Lines.
The copper smelting facility was commissioned.
The acquisition of Yılka Cable was first inorganic growth step for Borsan, Turkey's growing industrial power.
Inorganic growth extended beyond Turkey's borders with the acquisition of Salvi Cavi in Italy.
Borsan established its aluminum cable production facility.
The establishment of the LED Lighting Facility was a significant organic growth step in Borsan's development.
The momentum of corporate structuring gained a new dimension with Change Management, focusing on creating greater value for our customers and all stakeholders.

Contribution to the Society
As we celebrate our 40th anniversary, we continue to accelerate our momentum as a global brand, while also taking an important step in social contribution by establishing the Adnan Ölmez Foundation, honoring the legacy of our founder.
In March 2025, we held the groundbreaking ceremony for the Borsan Cable Integrated Production Facilities, which will be established as one of Turkey's most modern and well-equipped industrial plants with an investment of $180 million over three years. Once operational, the facility will not only increase production capacity by approximately 150% but also create 400 new jobs, further strengthening our contribution to both the regional and national economies.
As part of Borsan Cable’s commitment to integrated management in business and sustainability strategies, we will also invest $3.3 million in 2025 in Energy Efficiency and Management, supporting our goals of sustainable production and cost optimization.
Borsan Group, which includes Borsan Cable, is also driving forward in technology and innovation. Starting in January 2025, our lighting solutions subsidiary, Borled, has entered into a $25 million partnership with a China-based technology partner, focusing on technology transfer, R&D, and capacity expansion.
