KETENCİLER is active in fishing and construction of fishing boats since 1950. The founder of KETENCİLER Capt. IBRAHIM KETENCI was the president of Marmara Cooperatives Union for 15 years. He provided important support with the long years of experience to development of the fishing sector in Turkey.

The fishing was made with wooden boats between 1960-1980. After 1980, steel and fiberglass boats from 10m to 65m lengths were used. 

KETENCİLER, were fishing 3.000 to 5.000 tons of fish per year. We were at Spanish waters between 1987-1991 for tuna fishing and at West African coasts between 1993-1995 for trawling.
