ORKA Bathroom, founded in 1992 in Bakırköy by Ömer Yılmaz for the sale of construction materials, preferred to specialize in the field of bathroom furniture and continued on its way as ORKA in 1994, in order to provide better quality service in line with the needs of the market, directing all its knowledge and experience to the production of bathroom furniture and became the new trend setter of bathroom living spaces. Currently, it is taking firm steps towards becoming a worldwide brand under the name of ORKA Ahşap ve Yapı Ürünleri San. A.Ş. by growing even more.
ORKA Banyo, which continued its production at full speed in Zeytinburnu by moving to an area of 4000 square meters in 2003, just 9 years after its establishment, experienced a sudden demand explosion with the TÜYAP UNICERA Fair, which it participated for the first time, and started to reach wider masses by entering Koçtaş Construction Markets the next year.
Ömer Yılmaz had other plans for ORKA Banyo, which cannot fit into its field in the face of increasing demand. Deciding to establish his own factory, Ömer Yılmaz laid the foundations of the factory in Düzce in 2008 and started production in the factory in Düzce, which consists of 10,000 square meters of indoor and 50,000 square meters of outdoor space, just 5 months later.
ORKA Banyo, which has proven itself with its quality, continues its production area with new investments every year in 2021 with 40,000 square meters of indoor area and 80,000 square meters of outdoor space.
