About
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.
