86 Years of Trust, A Future Shaped by Science
Founded in 1939 in Istanbul by pharmacist Ö. Kemalettin Atabay, Atabay is one of Türkiye’s most established pharmaceutical and API manufacturers. Since its inception, Atabay has operated with the mission of contributing to public health. Today, it serves a broad range of sectors — from human pharmaceuticals to biotechnology, veterinary medicine, and agrochemicals.
A Strong Legacy of Experience
Atabay began its commercial journey with the import and marketing of pharmaceuticals. In the 1940s, the company made its mark in the Turkish pharmaceutical industry by locally producing sulfonamide-based medicines, which were among the leading treatment options of the time.
In 1954, Atabay established its modern production infrastructure and expanded its portfolio with analgesic products. In 1967, the company inaugurated its pharmaceutical production facility in Acıbadem, Istanbul, which is still operational today.
A Pioneer in API and Biotechnology
In 1970, under the leadership of Bülent Atabay, the company launched active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) production and built a large-scale manufacturing facility in Gebze, Kocaeli. Over time, this facility evolved into a comprehensive complex producing not only APIs for human use but also final products and actives for veterinary and agricultural applications.
Today, Atabay manufactures high-quality products for human and animal health in GMP-certified facilities, in full compliance with national and international quality standards.
Investing in the Future Through R&D
Atabay combines decades of manufacturing experience with strong research and development capabilities to provide solutions not only for today’s needs but also for the healthcare challenges of tomorrow.
The company continues to invest in areas such as biotechnology, biosimilar drug development, sustainable production, and the support of young scientists — all guided by a deep sense of responsibility toward science and humanity.
Reliability, Quality, and Innovation
With its experienced team, modern infrastructure, and strong commitment to ethical values, Atabay is a trusted healthcare partner both in Türkiye and internationally.
The company maintains its leadership in the industry by offering competitive, globally compliant solutions through a broad sales and marketing network.
