- Yayla Enerji Üretim Turizm ve Insaat Ticaret A.S. (YAYLA.IS) serves as a diversified holding company focused on investments and operations in the energy, tourism, and construction sectors in Turkey. Founded in 1950 by Mehmet Yayla in Iskenderun and headquartered in Ankara at Kazim Ozalp Mahallesi, Ugur Mumcu Caddesi Kizkulesi Sokak No: 20/2, Cankaya, the company originally concentrated on superstructure construction projects before expanding into infrastructure in the 1990s and diversifying into renewable and clean energy investments as well as tourism from 2010 onward; it formally adopted its current name in 2012 to reflect these activities. Core offerings encompass renewable and clean energy investments and projects; operation of hotel facilities under the Magna Hotels brand in the Kayseri-Erciyes region, blending comfort with natural surroundings; and construction services including residential, non-residential, civil engineering, energy-related, and tourism infrastructure projects across various locations such as Ankara, Izmir, and others. The company maintains a lean operation with approximately eight employees and targets domestic markets in Turkey, emphasizing growth through sector diversification originally driven by construction expertise. Recent developments include the approval of a capital increase prospectus by the Turkish Capital Markets Board (SPK) as of November 2024 for fund utilization, alongside ongoing corporate governance enhancements evidenced by updated compliance reports and independent audit disclosures through mid-2025, supporting continued expansion in its core segments.
