# List of pharmaceutical companies in Turkey

Tamtam tracks 70 pharmaceutical companies headquartered in Turkey. This list ranks the 50 largest by number of employees on LinkedIn, led by Eczacıbaşı Topluluğu, Abdi Ibrahim Pharmaceuticals and Türk Kızılay. Their median headcount is 474. Half of them were founded in 1984 or later. The most common headquarters are Istanbul (32), Ankara (4) and Sarıyer (2).

This selection of pharmaceutical companies in Turkey includes both large, established groups and mid-sized firms. Most are engaged in pharmaceutical manufacturing, with some also involved in broader health and consumer product sectors. Companies like Abdi Ibrahim Pharmaceuticals, founded in 1912, and DEVA Holding A.Ş., established in 1958, are prominent manufacturers of human and veterinary medicine.

A notable pattern is the concentration of headquarters in Istanbul, with companies such as Nobel Ilac A.S., Bilim İlaç, and Santa Farma Pharmaceuticals all based there. Türk Kızılay, a humanitarian organization founded in 1868, is an exception with its headquarters in Ankara, providing aid to wounded soldiers.

## How this list is built

Every company on this list has a Tamtam company profile. The industry is the one the company gives on LinkedIn; categories such as SaaS or fintech are classified by Tamtam's AI from the company's website and LinkedIn page; and the headquarters city must match the company's own address. Companies are ranked by the number of employees on LinkedIn, and the list is refreshed every night. Classifications can be wrong, so treat the list as a starting point rather than an official ranking. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
