The GURSAN brand began its operations in 1979 in the Ankara Ostim Industrial Zone under the name “GÜRSAN Makina Sanayi” as a sole proprietorship. The company was founded by H. Gürkan Kınav, who graduated from Istanbul Technical University, Department of Mechanical Engineering, in 1963. He completed his military service at the Ankara Air Headquarters between 1964 and 1966.
Kınav started his professional career in 1966 at the MKE Etimesgut Aircraft Factory, and between 1967 and 1969, he worked at Foster Wheeler Inc. Ankara, an American engineering firm, during the establishment phase of PETKİM Petrochemical Co.
In 1969, he joined NACE Makina Sanayi Ltd. Şti., where he served as Project Manager until 1976. From 1976 to 1979, he worked as General Manager at ÖZMAK Makina ve Elektrik A.Ş., a company operating in the same industry.
In 1979, Gürkan Kınav founded his own company, GÜRSAN Makina Sanayi, after leaving ÖZMAK. The company operated as a sole proprietorship until 1997. GURSAN made its first export to France in 1991, and in 1994, relocated its operations from Ostim to its current Sincan facility.
In 1997, with the involvement of Ümit Ö. Kınav, who continues to serve as the General Manager, GURSAN transitioned into a limited company, completing its corporate structuring and continuing its steady growth as a respected name in the industry.
