Founded in 1959, Ford Otosan has been one of the top three exporting companies in Turkey since 2005 and is the largest commercial vehicle production centre in Ford Europe, thanks to its production capacity of 415,000 commercial vehicles, 80,000 engines and 140,000 transmissions. As chief legal since 2007, Ahmet Serdar Kayhan has led the company on a number of landmark initiatives and projects. His most recent achievements include helping the company secure a number of loan agreements, such as a €150m loan funded by ERBD in early 2017 for financing upcoming investment projects, and the opening of a Ford Trucks’ 4S facility in Hatay in October of the same year. A graduate of Ankara University in 1995, Kayhan also highlights completing a Post Graduate Seminar Program on Advanced Legal Studies (Criminal Justice) attained from the University of London as an accomplishment that has benefitted his legal career.
