Ajans-Turk was first founded in 1951 by Sevket and Necdet Evliyagil,
who were brothers with a journalistic background, as a private news
agency in a building at Karanfil Street, Ankara owned by Yagcioglu
family where Vakko is now located. Ajans-Turk later purchased its first
typesetting machine and a printing machine with a view to improving
quality of its bulletins for newspapers. At that time, the printing house
industry was underdeveloped in Ankara although it was built as the
Republic's capital 30 years before. Being aware of this vacuum, the Evliyagil
brothers developed their business by importing advanced machines and
hiring experts from Italy and Istanbul in addition to graphic designers
who were not therefore employed in Turkey.
Products of Ajans-Turk printing house gained reputation and
were praised all over the country. It was so much that clean, beautiful,
fascinating printing works were only performed by Ajans-Turk which
secured a place in Guinness Book of Records by publishing the first
embossed stamps in the world. Coloured brochures and leaflets for tourist
published by The Ministry of Tourism, colored reports of banks,
prestigious university books and clean and reliable samples of coloured
stamps which are also admired world-wide as well as inimitable share
certificates of leading corporations have traditionally been printed by
Ajans-Turk.
