Our customs brokering activities that have been going on for almost 7 decades, were inaugurated in 1939 with the support of Sait OBDAN and Haci Nazif CELEBI. 10 years later, in 1949 Ihsan OBDAN had joined his older brother as a business partner. In 1977, Ihsan OBDAN’s oldest son, I. Arif Obdan has taken his place in the family business after graduating from Istanbul University School of Business and earning his Customs Brokering license, having already worked there part-time for quite some time. 80’s were the years in which the Turkish economy transformed to its current state. With this forthcoming change on the horizon, I. Arif Obdan invests in and expands the company. He also gives partnership and managerial responsibilities to his brothers O. Akil Obdan and A. Arkin Obdan, hence makes it possible for them to be parts of the family business. In the year 2000 I. Arif Obdan merges his company with that of Ertugrul AGAOGLU, Sistem Logistics of 25 years, whom he had known for many years and develops new growth strategies.
