Having 18 factories, three of which are abroad, our company Sarten is the market and technology leader in the Turkish packaging industry. In recent years, we have established a partnership with Mitsui, one of Japan's well-established companies, to make Sarten the number one packaging company in our region. Having Mitsui on our side, even as a minority shareholder, we gained a competitive edge in a much wider region.

Under the leadership of Tarık Şarlıgil, 3 Seas Capital Partners’ team lived up to our expectations as honest and reliable business partners, during our partnership process with Mitsui. In addition to their effective strategic and financial advising skills, 3 Seas Capital Partners played a crucial role especially throughout our partnership negotiations. By providing necessary information and guidance in each and every step and offering most accurate alternatives, 3 Seas Capital Partners have been instrumental in completion of the transaction.

CMC is an independent outsourcing call center in Turkey which was established in 2000 and acquired by ISS in 2007. During the share sale process, we preferred to work with 3 Seas Capital Partners as our advisor rather than other international investment banks.

Advisory team provided the desired level of satisfaction to ISS Group which performs hundreds of M&A transactions every year in various countries. I would like to say that we are pleased with 3 Seas Capital Partners Team’s expertise, professionalism and diligence during the transaction. For this I would like to express our sincere thanks on behalf of the group.

When we received a partnership offer from Carel Industries, one of the world’s largest HVAC companies, to turn our longstanding distributor relationship into a permanent partnership, our first step was to seek an M&A advisor. However, our search was short-lived. From our very first meeting with 3 Seas Capital Partners, they assured us that they had the expertise to guide us through this critical process and complete it successfully. Despite the extraordinary challenges of the pandemic in 2021, following a series of meetings held in İzmir and Italy, we finalized our partnership agreement with Carel Industries. We are very pleased to have worked with 3 Seas Capital Partners, who supported us at nearly every stage of this journey, addressing our questions and resolving our challenges.

We worked with 3 Seas Capital Partners for 15 months, starting in May 2010. During this period, we witnessed a number of occasions demonstrating that we had indeed chosen the right advisor.

The firm’s first step in establishing one of their many formidable competencies was the roadmap they provided at the very beginning of the transaction. Their predictions with regards to the nature of the process, the stages we would have to overcome, critical decision points, as well as the general timeline including the expected closing were confirmed one by one throughout the process.

Another value-added point was their long-term partnership approach, rather than a temporary service provision understanding. This long-term point of view had a significant impact on building the perception - for all parties - that the outcomes would be fair and beneficial for all involved.

Another indication that 3 Seas Capital Partners was absolutely the right partner for us was their approach to the disputes that rose throughout the process. They masterfully protected our interests by standing firm and holding our ground as necessary, we were sure that we always had the upper hand.

Our working relationship did not end with the signing of the deal. Their sincere and full support, whenever we needed it, during the post-transaction phase played an important role in our professional relationship - transforming it into a friendship.

I would like to express my gratitude in working with 3 Seas Capital Partners and earning their long-term, sound friendship, which I believe will last many decades.

Thank you very much.

We have done a great deal of efficient, consistent work with 3 Seas Capital Partners, almost since its first day of operation.

Compared to the other international investment banks in the region, 3 Seas Capital Partners has additional distinguishing merits: the firm has superior prevalence within local culture, closer follow-up in real sectors and their dynamics, a better understanding of Turkish business people and the ability to work directly and in closer relationships with competent company partners who are experts in their field of work.

We believe that the work conducted during the acquisition of Kumport Port, Turkey’s third-largest privately-owned container port, with 13% of Turkey’s container traffic flow, has a special place among all the projects we completed together.

Among numerous deals we have completed with 3 Seas Capital Partners, the acquisition of Kumport Port, 3rd largest private port in Turkey, stands out the most. Kumport Port, which had 250 shareholders and a value of over USD 250 million, was in advanced stages of discussions with another buyer. As our advisor, 3 Seas Capital Partners displayed unparalleled creativity and exquisite technique in completing this extremely complex and difficult deal not only with great speed and precision but also with utmost confidentiality.

We sincerely congratulate 3 Seas Capital Partners on the 10th year anniversary of its establishment and wish continued success.

We have been working in the internet and technology sector with 3 Seas Capital Partners for more than seven years now. During this period we have completed seven deals under their advisory, some of which were highly complex transactions including multiple parties.

We see 3 Seas Capital Partners as an investment bank with value-added and strategic perspective in the fast-growing Internet sector in Turkey, and wish them continued success in the coming years.

We have been in collaboration with 3 Seas Capital Partners for a long time. In a crucial and sensitive industry such as healthcare, every action and decision taken on behalf of a well-established, reliable, and leading institution such as Florence Nightingale, must entail the utmost attention and care. We duly expect the same level of attention and care from all business partners in every aspect of our business.

We have achieved a significant and efficient working relationship with 3 Seas Capital Partners, who was able to fully grasp our sensitivities and giving us the right advice, in relation to constituting our group’s long-term strategic growth targets, all the while assisting us in making swift but acute decisions in response to developments in our industry, and reacting to sudden events. Throughout this period, 3 Seas Capital Partners team has not only guided and supported us for the preparation of our business model for domestic growth, but also provided the most accurate market intelligence, know-how and sound advice for our international expansion.

Starting from the first phase of our search for a strategic partner with whom Florence Nightingale could envisage its future targets, 3 Seas Capital Partners has been by our side along every step, and has successfully coordinated and managed the partnership process that we have finalized with Fiba Health Investments. It is our belief that we can share our group’s mission and vision with Fiba Group and we are delighted to partner with them. I would like to express my gratitude to 3 Seas Capital Partners team for their superior effort and for being there at every moment we needed them.

3 Seas Capital Partners team was well-aware of the dynamics of the healthcare sector and throughout the process, they managed the valuation discussions backed up with detailed and accurate as is and forward-looking analysis of our industry and our company. Along with helping us agree on a fair value, 3 Seas Capital Partners ran a well-balanced discussion on such a delicate partnership type- an equal partnership between two groups that knew each other before the discussions started. As a result we managed to agree on all principles, which will be the foundation of a long lasting partnership.

I believe and hope that we will be working on many more successful projects in the near future with 3 Seas Capital Partners, with whom we have established a relationship based on professionalism, friendship and trust.

3 Seas Capital Partners has always been one of the pioneers of M&A activities here in Turkey.

They have a great team with vast investment banking experience and strong relations with leading companies. We feel very comfortable in doing business with them and we perceive them as a reliable partner.

We congratulate 3 Seas Capital Partners on its 10th anniversary and hope to continue working with them in the next 10 years to come.

We hereby declare that this testimonial has been prepared with our appreciation and confidence in 3 Seas Capital Partners with regard to their success in all of the completed transactions for our group companies.

Between 2007 and 2011, 3 Seas Capital Partners completed nine successful M&A transactions for our group companies in different sectors, with their enhanced competencies and command in their area.

As the successful results of these processes show; 3 Seas Capital Partners proves to be a highly professional, solution-oriented and competent investment bank.

We were very satisfied with our cooperation with 3 Seas Capital Partners. We look forward to working together in the future and we recommend them without hesitation.

Towards the end of 2009, Groupe Cheque Dejeuner, the international holding that I represent, had an opportunity to make an important acquisition that would facilitate its development in Turkey.

3 Seas Capital Partners was recommended to us by a friend from Strasbourg. Following a second esteemed recommendation by a World Bank official responsible for Turkey and Asia Minor, we decided to entrust this deal to 3 Seas Capital Partners, a member of IMAP.

The transaction was very complicated due to significant risks, fierce internal and external competition, and a distressed situation with regards to selling, as the target firm was under the supervision of the SDIF (State Deposit Insurance Fund).

Mr. Şevket Başev and his entire team worked together tirelessly to ensure that the transaction successfully reached to completion. Moreover, the team brought in highly qualified and result oriented advisors (lawyers, human resources, accounting and finance officers) who were experts in their respective fields. We continue to work with most of these advisors.

We continue to work with most of these teams, who became our advisors. Our satisfaction was such that we asked Mr. Şevket Başev to serve as Chairman of Multinet, our subsidiary in Turkey, on our Holding’s behalf when we were faced with issues about which we had been previously warned by 3 Seas capital Partners.

If we were to embark on a new acquisition or sale project, without a doubt we would call in the 3 Seas Capital Partners team. Due to pur pleasant experience with 3 Seas Capital Partners in Turkey, we also prefer to work with contacts within the IMAP network whenever possible.

We met 3 Seas Capital Partners almost two years ago and due to their outstanding reputation in the market, we chose them as our investment bankers.

After several months we realized that we had made the best possible choice. 3 Seas Capital Partners provided service beyond our expectations. In addition to their investment banking services, the team advised us on management and financial issues which were not within the scope of their services.

The value-add they created is priceless. During the investment discussions, we conducted multiple meetings with many different international and local firms and we had the opportunity to choose our new partner from a wide range of alternatives provided.

As a result of the last two years, I’ve understood that this is a long and tiresome process. You must travel all around the world, have numerous discussions with a number of people and be patient at all times.

Amidst these challenges, trust and friendship is very important. Otherwise, that difficult process can be overwhelming.

I believe that this is the key element of our great satisfaction with 3 Seas Capital Partners and we definitely recommend them.

Selling your shares in a company, which you have personally established, is probably one of the toughest decisions to make in your lifetime.

Even if you start the process with a defined target, choosing the right partner, valuation of the company and most importantly, structuring a deal that protects your benefits, are highly challenging processes.

To be honest, when we appointed 3 Seas Capital Partners, we could not precisely assess the scope of the services we would need, or how necessary they would be. However, after the long hours spent together, numerous meetings and facing tough challenges, we saw how right we were with our decision.

I believe that investment advisory is one of the outsourced services where the selection phase is of critical importance.

I believe that without the direction and the credible advisory of 3 Seas Capital Partners, it would have been impossible for us to complete this process successfully.

3 Seas Capital Partners advised us during the formation of a successful partnership in the recent years. Throughout this period the company has provided us with their utmost support, responding to all of our needs rapidly, effectively, and seamlessly.

The professional and expert team’s management skills, coupled with the extensive knowledge and experience of the partners, have facilitated the process for me, my partners and my colleagues.

I believe that 3 Seas Capital Partners differentiates itself from its local and global peers with its process ownership; with an understanding of our priorities; with competencies in strategic decision making; and with results-oriented operations

I congratulate the company on its 10th year anniversary and wish them continued success in the upcoming years.

As Türkerler Holding, we met 3 Seas Capital Partners in 2007. From that day forward we have worked together in numerous projects with great satisfaction. 3 Seas Capital Partners has three highly important qualifications that make it superior to its peers:

- Şevket Başev and all the partners of the company are detail-oriented and in-depth knowledge of the project.
- They not only come up with the routine solutions but also try hard to provide a variety of creative solutions.
- They have a long-term perspective in their relationships, rather than a project-based short-term approach.

With great pleasure, I strongly believe that we will continue to work with 3 Seas Capital Partners for long years ahead.

I hereby thank the team again for their contributions and efforts, and wish their success to continue in the future

We have been working with 3 Seas Capital Partners for a long time.

Farplas grew exponentially through acquisitions over the last ten years. Through JVs and new investments we became a holding company with more than 10 companies operating in different areas of the automotive sector, household appliances, packaging, chemicals, tourism and construction.

Throughout these years, 3 Seas Capital Partners has been our business partner since day one.

Their approach to our company has always been very dedicated and supportive since the beginning of our relationship irrespective of our size.

We continue to involve 3 Seas in our long-term strategy development and to execute many steps together in order to achieve our vision. We take pride in growing with those who helped us through our journey and hope continued mutual success with different ventures, whatever they may be.

Emre Erginler’s personal engagement at partner level has been especially instrumental in the success of our relationship.

Over the years Emre gained in-depth knowledge about various companies we own and as a result has the ability to adapt to any strategy execution. This is a very good example for how an M&A house should operate. Emre is not only a favored business partner, but also a trusted friend of our company.

We have managed to grow our company Komet since 1987 and reached 174 offices globally. We worked with 3 Seas Capital Partners under the leadership of Erkan Kurt during the sale process of Komet Turizim ve Denizcilik to Marmedsa, which is the leading maritime and logistics company in Iberian Peninsula.

Even though the political and economic environment have had a negative impact on logistics, our advisors informed us in each step about possible outcomes as they understood the logistics sector dynamics very well. Erkan Kurt and his team were very engaged in every step of the process and their deal making abilities helped us to complete the transaction successfully.

We are satisfied with our work with 3 Seas Capital Partners and wish them continued success.

I met with Emre Erginler and 3 Seas Capital Partners in 2007, during my partnership process with Ahu Büyükkuşoğlu Serter and Moiz Zilberman, in order to grow my company Mata.

Our collaboration with 3 Seas Capital Partners continues to this day. Emre Erginler and 3 Seas Capital Partners were with us throughout the globalization processes of our company Mata, a fully export-oriented company that manufactures handmade interior wood products as well as decorative fiber pieces for leading automobile manufacturers such as Aston Martin, Jaguar/Land Rover, Bentley and Tesla.

I hope that they will continue to be with us while moving Mata to our targeted future.

We established Oxygen Consultancy in 2002 with the aim of bringing a new approach into the field of recruitment consultancy and have made it one of the leading HR consultancy companies in Turkey over the last 10 years.

In our 10th year, with the involvement of our colleagues, who have always been with us during the establishment and growth of Oxygen, we decided that it was time to establish an international partnership to secure the current and future growth of our company.

As our first step, we authorized 3 Seas Capital Partners as our advisor. We have a long-term close friendship with the partners and the team; we believe that they know us and our philosophy the best.

After carefully listening to us and our vision for the future, 3 Seas Capital Partners was able to put us in contact with suitable candidates and accompanied us to countless meetings. We were provided immaculately prepared reports on similar transactions of comparable firms, general M&A trends within the sector, in depth financial analyses, and potential partnership structures that provide the best value for Oxygen.

At the end of this long period of work, we signed a significant stock transfer agreement with Allgeier SE, headquartered in Munich, Germany; one of the leading professional services companies in Europe. Among all the internationally-known candidates in our sector, Allgeier’s vision was the best match to ours.

As the Partners of Oxygen Consultancy we would like to state that we are highly content with 3 Seas Capital Partners’ advisory throughout the process.

We managed to turn Çepaş, established in 2003 by a group of entrepreneurs, into a leading company in the international arena and attract the attention of the world's leading companies in 10 years.

We met İbrahim Arınç, while we were pondering what we could do to ensure the future of our hard worked company. İbrahim Arınç and his team presented potential partner candidates with the right partnership structure for Çepaş and prepared a road map for us in a short period of time. Thus, we established our partnership with the Spanish Gonvarri Group, which continues to this day and which we believe will last for many years.

We have established our existing strength on a solid foundation by combining it with one of the most prestigious groups in our sector, I would like to thank 3 Seas Capital Partners for their contributions to Çepaş.

First, I congratulate my esteemed friends and wish them continued success. Since the day 3 Seas Capital Partners was established, we have worked together and have vastly benefited from their know-how and experience in every investment we have made as a company.

We have worked with 3 Seas Capital Partners on six different transactions to date. Our experience during the first transaction served as a strong benchmark for the strategic and financial management of our following investments, and we were thoroughly satisfied with each of the processes we undertook together.

3 Seas Capital Partners’ team and partners know our priorities almost better than we do; and they consider our company as one of their own. Such an approach has always enabled them to provide us with the best advice. Consequently, we make sure to consult 3 Seas Capital Partners and obtain their valuable perspective and insight prior to reaching a verdict with regards to all of our important decisions.

Our past experiences have, more than once, shown us that the exclusive "camaraderie” and flexibility we have with 3 Seas Capital Partners is not easy to find with other M&A advisors.

I believe that 3 Seas Capital Partners has a unique structure that combines humane and moral values with the business competencies provided by all reputable global investment banks. I also strongly believe that the pioneering role taken by the firm in Turkey over the last 10 years has set a great example for both the sector and its clients, demonstrating how this job is correctly done.

I present my sincere gratitude to 3 Seas Capital Partners for being with us for so many years, with their cross-border corporate business network and their expertise.

We have a long term relationship with 3 Seas Capital Partners resting on mutual trust, professionalism and corporate understanding.

3 Seas Capital Partners team provided us with strategic and financial advisory services during the investment process of Bancroft, a private equity company in our region; as a minority shareholder in our company in 2007. All through this process, they approached us with a first-class service understanding.

I believe that the Company played a significant role in finalizing this process with the utmost efficiency and gains for us, through their clear understanding of our company and prioritization of our benefits.

The fact that we were provided with partner-level attention at every step of the transaction, in addition to the proficient and expert analyst team who worked with us, allowed the outcome of the process to be shaped in our favor.

I believe that the high quality service - going beyond global standards - provided by 3 Seas Capital Partners during the Bancroft partnership, which is one of the most important milestones of where we are today, has helped to shape our future as Eko Factoring.

I offer congratulations on the 10th year anniversary of the establishment of 3 Seas Capital Partners. We have sustained our relationship following the completion of the transaction and we continue to seek their help in various aspects of our investments. With their vision and service standard, we believe that 3 Seas Capital Partners will continue to support the Turkish business environment for many years to follow.

As Kros Otomotiv, we met 3 Seas Capital Partners team in the first days of our strategy to invest in different sectors. During the M&A process, 3 Seas Capital Partners managed to keep the parties at the table; when the negotiations were intensified they managed the tensions of the parties around the same purpose. They diligently helped us to finalize our investment successfully.

Their business analysis and financial analysis in the process helped us to determine our decisions during the negotiations and to complete our investment in line with the targeted budget. Almost a year after the completion of our investment, seeing the business results in line with our predictions of the target firm is the biggest proof that we worked with the right team during this process.

I would like to thank both 3 Seas Capital Partners and Erkan Kurt, the company's shareholder who uses all the experience and knowledge effectively in the process. I am happy to say that we will enjoy working together with 3 Seas Capital Partners on such M&A projects in the future.

3 Seas Capital Partners advised us in 2007 during our acquisition of majority shares in MATA Automotive.

Throughout the process, which was highly effective, fast, and result-oriented with ongoing one-to-one meetings, we were reminded of the unique advantages of working with a corporate advisory firm that does not neglect the importance of personal, one-on-one interaction.

We witnessed that it is possible to work fast without ignoring the details, and to solve problems simultaneously; we reached a very positive result in a very short time.

I wish continued and increasing success for 3 Seas Capital Partners; which I absolutely believe they will achieve.

We founded Kent Hospitals Group in 2004 with a group of businessmen, with the aim of bringing a modern healthcare institution to beautiful İzmir, which is one of the largest business, cultural and economic centers of Turkey.

Kent Hospital, established on land of 30,000 square meters with a total closed area of 22,000 square meters on six floors, was constructed according to the Building Guidelines of American Hospitals; with diagnosis and treatment facilities that are equipped with the latest medical technologies.

My partners and I, who played an important role in the establishment and development of Kent, decided that it would be a right decision to develop a strategic or financial partnership, in order to secure the present situation and future growth of this prestigious institution.

3 Seas Capital Partners introduced us to various suitable local and foreign candidates for more than a year. Throughout this period, 3 Seas Capital Partners provided us with information on valuation of local and global companies, as well as the details of financial and economic conditions of similar mergers and acquisitions in our sector; and prepared multiple reports on the candidates, valuation and partnership conditions for Kent Hospital.

We held many meetings with the senior and experienced teams of the company and each time we were provided partner-level attention.

Following a negotiation phase competently managed by 3 Seas Capital Partners, we chose to cooperate with Mid Europa Partners from a long list of local and foreign candidates. Mid Europa Partners is a Private Equity Company from UK with a total fund size of 3.2 billion Euros, and we believe it will greatly contribute to Kent as well as our industry.

On behalf of my partners and myself, I can confidently claim that we were highly content with the advisory of 3 Seas Capital Partners for Kent Hospitals Group.

I believe that their sector experience and accurate candidate selection, as well as their top level approach in defending our benefits and their quick response in answering all our questions, have been the most important factor in having such a seamless process.

3 Seas Capital Partners has been our by side throughout all of our important investment decisions.

The 3 Seas Capital Partners team has successfully represented our company since the day we started working together. Following their impeccable performance which was at par with global standards and their sincerity in prioritizing our benefits as their own during the first transaction we executed together lead to our continued working relationship.

In addition to the strategic advisory provided to me and partners, the partner-level attention and care provided throughout each transaction allowed the processes to flow smoothly and effectively reach to completion. The close relationship, friendship and cooperation formed during these transactions continued well beyond after the deals were closed. We are more than happy to have gained a sincere, honest and credible business partner with the necessary strategic and financial expertise needed e for the future of our company.

We believe that 3 Seas Capital Partners is a valuable asset for Turkish companies and local investment environment and wish them continued success with their work.

3 Seas Capital Partners has become one of our indispensable business partners in recent years.

The valuable strategic insight and support provided by 3 Seas Capital Partners, especially with regards to our Group’s global expansion and international investments carry significant importance for us.

3 Seas Capital Partners’ global business connections and network, along with their professional competencies, satisfy our needs with precision throughout each step and inspire confidence.

I believe that the successful cross-border deals closed by 3 Seas Capital Partners and the international reputation of these deals, along with the company’s references and powerful representation, add value to our process and cooperation.

We sincerely congratulate 3 Seas Capital Partners on the 10th year anniversary of its establishment and wish continued success to our valuable stakeholder.

I may well suggest, in view of my personal and professional experience, that the service provided by 3 Seas Capital Partners during the selling process of our company to Erba Diagnostics, and the client experience, was equal to that of any large global investment banking company.

The knowledge and experience of the company’s partners as well as the team allocated to us, partner-level attention - especially on strategic decisions during negotiations - and above all, utmost consideration in protecting the benefits of both myself and my partners, were among the top indicators that we had made the right decision in choosing 3 Seas Capital Partners as our advisor in this process.

The work of 3 Seas Capital Partners has been a benchmark for us in how a deal is done seamlessly and correctly.

Consequently, we thank 3 Seas Capital Partners for the credible and constructive approach that brought us invaluable peace of mind and wish them continued success in the upcoming years.
