The site was located between the Soğanlı and Araç streams. On 3 April 1937, Prime Minister Ismet inönü set up the cornerstone of the plant, which was put into operation ob 6 June 1939.
The Kardemir company was created in the 1950s, under the General Directorate of State Enterprises, evolving within the following years in a large organization, which has about 4,000 people. The company invested in shipyards, ports, dams, petrochemical plants, bridges, fitness and, most importantly, design of industrial plants, manufacturing and installation of Kardemir factories across the country. The original factory was awarded the nickname of "The Factory that creates Factories". Restructured in 1962, the company was privatized, as Kardemir Inc. (corporate website), on 30 March 1995.
