Yakupoğlu Deri Sanayi (Yds)

yds began in 1927 when mr yakupoglu began trading leather in a town called isparta in turkey. trading in leather and raw components began to increase and a move to an industrial business centre, ankara in 1971 led to the development of a footwear business yds. having supplied the domestic turkish military and security forces with quality made boots, yds continued to progress into a product design and development capability from 1990. since then yds has become the biggest boot supplier of the turkish armed forces and general directorate of security and have gained a solid reputation for maintaining quality standards. today the success of yds, financially at £51 million turnover per annum, spans beyond the borders of turkey and leaves footprints all over the world.
