Its story
SEKA is Türkiye's first paper factory, founded in İzmit in 1934 under the leadership of Mehmet Ali Kağıtçı. For many years the factory was the center of the city's economic and social life; production ended in 2005. The factory buildings were converted into a museum telling the story of papermaking processes, the machines and workers' lives. Giant machines, the old laboratory and workshops offer a close-up look at industrial heritage. It can be visited together with SEKA Park right next to it.
