Biography

Mustafa Dener, born in Kayseri in 1951, began his working life in 1963 at a small press workshop alongside his elder brother.

After his father passed away in 1966 and his brother closed the workplace, he continued his professional journey through his own efforts and began working as a lathe operator in 1968.

In 1974, Mustafa Dener established his first business in a small workshop under the name Dener Torna, producing locally wheel studs and hub components for trucks that had previously been sourced from abroad.

Entering the automotive industry, Dener expanded his operations for twelve years through automotive supply manufacturing for brands such as Mercedes-Benz, Ford and Mitsubishi.

Taking Turkey’s dependence on foreign sources in industry and technology as a personal responsibility, Mustafa Dener turned to machinery manufacturing with the goal of producing imported machines using domestic capabilities.

In 2016, he took Dener Group’s integrated manufacturing strength to a new level by incorporating a facility with an area of 1,300,000 m² in İncesu Organized Industrial Zone, known as the “Factory That Produces Factories.”

Today, Dener Group is one of Turkey’s largest integrated manufacturing facilities, with an export network reaching seven continents.
