The foundations of Erçakım Mining were laid in 1987 by our honorary founder, Ali İhsan Çakım. With his passion for the marble industry and entrepreneurial spirit, he created not just a company, but a vision that shaped the sector. Known for his discipline, hard work, and attention to detail, Ali İhsan Çakım quickly became one of the respected businessmen in the region. Our founder, who passed away in 2008, continues to be an inspiration for us today with the strong values and industry legacy he left behind. Carrying his vision and principles into the future is our greatest responsibility as the Erçakım Mining family.
In 2008, Erkan Çakım, who inherited the legacy of our honorary founder Ali İhsan Çakım, modernized Erçakım Mining and opened the doors to a new era in the industry. With the determination and work discipline he inherited from his father, he successfully elevated the company to a respected position both nationally and internationally. Erkan Çakım, with his innovative vision and strategic approach, expanded Erçakım Mining's areas of activity and made Muğla Gümüş marble globally recognized. With his commitment to nature and quality, he has demonstrated a perfectionist approach at every stage of the company. Today, as one of the leading figures in the industry, Erkan Çakım continues to carry the success story of Erçakım Mining into the future with sustainability, customer satisfaction, and high-quality standards.
One of the most important milestones in the production process of Erçakım Mining is the establishment of our modern factory. To make the best use of the region's natural stone potential, our production facility, equipped with high technology, was put into operation. Our factory, with an annual production capacity of 200,000 m², forms the foundation of our growth in the industry. Serving both the domestic market and international customers, our facility specializes in processing various natural stones, primarily Muğla Gümüş marble. By using the latest technology in cutting, polishing, honing, blasting, and many other surface treatments, we offer products that exceed our customers' expectations. Operating with the principles of sustainability and environmental sensitivity, our factory carries Erçakım Mining’s quality-focused production approach into the future. Our production facility proudly undertakes the mission of contributing to both the local economy and the development of the industry.
The story of Erçakım Mining began in our quarries, the source of natural stone. In 1987, with the activation of our first quarries in a region rich in marble reserves in Muğla, we took our first step into the industry. During this process, we worked with the goal of bringing Muğla Gümüş, the region's uniquely beautiful stone, to the world. Our quarries operate with a sustainable mining approach, and production is carried out using the most modern equipment. Adopting respect for natural resources as our core principle, Erçakım Mining carefully processes the high-quality raw blocks extracted using environmentally friendly methods to present them to the global market. Today, our quarries not only produce but also take on the mission of contributing to the local economy. By bringing the unique texture and durability of Muğla Gümüş to every project, we continue to participate in national and international projects. Our quarries form the foundation of Erçakım Mining’s deep-rooted history and its vision of industry leadership.
Since its establishment, Erçakım Mining has continued to strengthen its leadership position in the industry with the values it upholds and its constantly evolving vision. Today, with our modern production facilities, quarries equipped with advanced technology, and expert team, we provide high-quality products and services to our local and international customers. Our company continues to add value to projects in terms of both aesthetics and durability by promoting Muğla Gümüş marble worldwide. With an annual production capacity of 200,000 m², we continue to grow by participating in more and more projects every day. We are making a difference in the industry with our environmentally conscious, sustainable production approach and our focus on 100% customer satisfaction. Today, as Erçakım Mining, we are building the future with the strength we derive from the past, working to make the best use of nature’s unique legacy. We take pride in being a symbol of quality and trust in the natural stone industry.
