Sivas Chamber of Commerce and Industry

Founded in 1901 under the name Sivas Chamber of Commerce, Agriculture, and Industry, it separated from the Agriculture Chamber in 1908 and was renamed Sivas Chamber of Commerce and Industry. The first president of the chamber was Müezzinzade Mehmet Sabri Efendi, while the second president (Vice President) was Topalzade Haci Ali Ağa. With the publication of the Trade and Industry Chambers Law No. 655 on April 22, 1925, our chamber renewed its establishment and was managed by a Board of Directors consisting of seven members, based on the city's population at that time.

In its early years, the Sivas Chamber of Commerce and Industry was only responsible for resolving commercial disputes and overseeing carpet, rug, and other textile production. Over time, it expanded its activities and staff, established relations with domestic and foreign companies, conducted economic research, and compiled statistical data to contribute to the growth of the city's commercial and industrial capacity.
