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.
