The experience and know-how of Anadolu Isuzu dates back to the Çelik Montaj, which was established in 1965 to build pick-ups and motorcycles.

As a company, producing commercial vehicles with the license of a world-class Japanese brand in the European region, Anadolu Isuzu drives all its production processes according to the world’s famous Japanese quality management systems and the European Union’s quality standards and regulations. The inevitable results are the products manufactured at the global standards of excellence.
