Our Story

Home / About Us / Our Story

 

The ’round’ in our Baltas International Group logo symbolizes the world and contemporary knowledge in the world, and the ‘crescent’ on the world symbolizes Turkish Culture. 

 

When viewed as a whole; We express the kneading and blending of contemporary knowledge existing in the world with values ​​specific to Turkey.  

 

You can notice that the world figure in our logo is higher than the ground with the shadow underneath it. With this shadow, we explain that contemporary information will be understandable to everyone we communicate it to. This means that the information Baltas International Group offers will meet you not with its burden, but with its feature of being usable information.
