Toros 1003
patented strain of
wheat now on sale
Sales of the Toros 1003 strain of
wheat, work on which began in
2010 as part of Toros Agri’s re-
search programme into improving
common bread wheat, have now
begun. Thanks to the enhanced
qualities and quicker maturation
time of this strain and a structure
that makes it both suitable for fre-
quent planting and more durable
in arid conditions, the strain is ex-
pected to become one of the most
popular summer breeds.

BACK TO SCHOOL
T
oros Agri, Tekfen’s Agri-Industry Group
subsidiary, has launched Toros Acad-
emy, with the aim of merging all its edu-
cational and development functions un-
der one roof. Founded with the aim of
providing support for the administrative,
professional and personal development of
all company employees, the Toros Acad-
emy also aims to create a culture of con-
tinuous development within the group. In
this context, the Academy launched its
“Leadership School” last August, which
will provide support to upper manage-
ment via “Coaching for Management
Leaders” and “Foundational Leadership”
programmes, developed in collaboration
with Bilgi University for junior and middle-
management.

IN BRIEF...
Tekfen
Engineering’s
Academy is
on its way too
With the aim of developing a qualified labour
force and to institutionalise the concept of
knowledge accumulation, yet another Acad-
emy is in the process of being established un-
der the auspices of Tekfen Engineering. One
of the key elements in the firm’s new five-year
strategic plan, the Academy will gather all the
instructional and educational programmes that
have been introduced so far under one corpo-
rate roof. Furthermore, the firm’s accumulated
engineering knowledge and experience will be
archived and be available for immediate access.
Education at the Academy will be provided by
consultants, managers, senior employees
and academics, alongside experienced
members of Tekfen staff. The Tek-
fen Engineering Academy will
commence operations by
the end of the year.
