Founded in 1992 by Durmuş Eken, Develi Marble has been making a name for itself as the pioneer of the sector for 31 years. The most important turning point in the success story was the export breakthrough that started in 2005 with the Develi Basalt brand. This step enabled Turkish natural stone to find its rightful place in world markets. In 2007 and 2012, the company increased its export share with machinery investments in Turkey and abroad. These strategic moves helped Develi Marble become internationally recognized. In 2015, Develi Mermer – Durmuş Eken individual company was institutionalized and became Develi Marble Construction Mining Ind. and Trade. Inc. Co. title. This transformation enabled the company to continue on its way by getting stronger. The company draws attention with its Toros black and beige marble quarries, as well as many products that stand out in the natural stone sector. In 2023, the company took its position in the sector one step further with the investment of a gangsaw, plate, polish and epoxy repair lines.
Opening to the World with a New Product
Develi Marble started to make a sound in the world market with its Biril Grey product in 2023. Biril Grey, which was extracted from the quarry, which started licensing procedures in 2017 and has been in operation for 3 years, attracts attention with its homogeneous structure and unique color.
Ufuk Eken, Chairman of the Board of Develi Marble, stated that Biril Grey attracted great interest in the international market and said, “Thanks to the simplicity and elegance of our product, it creates prestige in the environment.
