Exports by the divisions of Koç Holding, Turkey's largest conglomerate, make up fully 10 percent of the country's exports, the company's chairman told Anadolu Agency on Jan. 10.

Members of the families that own Turkey’s two biggest groups of companies sold a combined total of about $575 million in shares in their respective groups, as the benchmark Turkish stock index closed at a record high on Wednesday.

Koç Holding has been named Turkey's most popular company for 2015, followed by Turkcell and Arçelik, another Koç company, according to a survey of senior executives conducted by monthly economy magazine Capital. 

Turkey's 20 most popular companies, as well as the most popular companies from 36 sectors, were named by the magazine in its 15th annual survey. 

Ömer Koç, the vice president of the executive board at Koç Holding, has been named the new chairman of the conglomerate, more than a month after the passing of his brother Mustafa Koç from a sudden heart attack.
