Gemak is established in 1969 by Naval Architect Mr. Ismet Uner as a small yard in "Golden Horn" in The Bosphorus, Istanbul. All facilities were transferred to Tuzla, Istanbul in 1981 which was designated as a ship repair and ship building area by Turkish Government authorities.

Following a demand oriented reasonable investment policy supported by the realistic vision of the founder, Gemak has become the leading shipyard in ship repair and conversion activities in Turkey.

In 2000, Gemak acquired TGE Shipyard and entered into new building segment. By accomplishing the construction of a graving dock, TGE started repairing services in addition to new building works. In 2005 in order to increase the capacity of TGE steel & pipe construction, pre-fabrication workshops were removed to Gebze. In 2008, NETA Pipe & Steel Construction Industry S.A. was established as an independent firm in Gebze serving to Gemak Group shipyards as well as other shipyards and industries. 

Gemak Group has an excellent portfolio of conversion, repairing, new building, modification of all kind of ships and offshore structures, drilling and production platforms with its strong technical skills and modern technology.
