The energy is palpable—you feel it instantly from the smiling faces, the quality presentation, and the attention to detail. It’s the first day in India, and Aytap Madencilik immediately catches our attention. “Hello!” they greet us as we step into their booth. This is where our story begins, with an introduction to Burak Aydoğan, the owner of the company, and Ümit Balbay, the CEO of Aytap A.Ş. Aytap Madencilik may be a new name in the natural stone industry, but it comes from a strong background. Its parent company, Aydoğan A.Ş., started in metal, steel, and wrought iron trade before expanding into petroleum operations, construction, solar energy plants, and agriculture. Now, its mining division is making a name for itself.
EXTRACTED FROM ANAMUR
Aytap Madencilik launched its first marble quarry in Anamur, Mersin, in 2022 and now produces two stunning stones. The first to catch our eye at their stand is Aqua White. This stone exudes elegance, sophistication, and luxury. Its flowing patterns on a white background create a dynamic, soul-stirring aesthetic. With exceptional durability and polishability, Aqua White is suitable for virtually any surface. When used in bookmatch applications, it produces breathtaking, imaginative designs.
A RISING STAR IN THE INDUSTRY
The second standout from Aytap’s Anamur quarry is Aqua Gris. With its graceful gray and white water-like veining, Aqua Gris presents a striking visual appeal. Backed by high production capacity and a rapidly expanding machinery park, Aytap Madencilik is quickly becoming a company to watch in the natural stone sector. Will Aqua White and Aqua Gris generate the same excitement at Marble İzmir as they have in India? We’ll find out soon!
