Roots
The Kiltoprak name
Founded in 1954 by Turhan Cemal Beriker — three-time mayor and later MP from Adana, one of Turkey’s historic Mediterranean cities — Kiltoprak Co Ltd began as a modern factory producing building materials and roofing tiles, eventually expanding into diverse earthenware products.
The name Kiltoprak — meaning ClayEarth — honors the natural compounds that have shaped civilizations for millennia.
In 1981, after the company transitioned ownership, the founder’s grandson — also named Turhan Cemal Beriker — revived the Kiltoprak legacy in 2011 through a corporate finance advisory firm, drawing on his two-decade international banking career, including CEO and board roles in Switzerland, Romania, and Eastern Europe.
Today, Kiltoprak is a brand under Bericorp Financial Services Group NV, headquartered in Amsterdam, operating as a trusted house for corporate finance, corporate services, and trust.
