Pet Companies, that was founded in 1976 in Ankara has witnessed the stream of history in many parts of the wordl from Denver to Yakutia during these past 41 years. It has added East Germany to the countries in which it operates during the fall of Berlin wall and where there was uncertainty. In 1991, when Soviet Union collapsed, it has the title of "First Turkish Company" that invested on those lands for years.
In Northern Iraq it was the "first oil Company" during years where weapons talk instead of politicians.
It is reliable, courageous and always a pioneer. As the founder of the company, Güntekin Köksal, said: We are a team that gives importance to its reputation rather than its materialistic needs,  doesn't wonder the way which we know is right and doeasn't  change the route with every blowing wind."
41 times Mashallah to Pet Holding for its 41 years.
