Mehmet Emin Selamoğlu has never given up the principles of CONSISTENCY, HONESTY and RELIABILITY in transport, to which he has dedicated his life and contributed to its development and has set an example for the sector.
These principles are still the essentials of Selamoğlu Nakliyat today.
Mehmet Emin Selamoğlu, the founder of Selamoğlu Nakliyat, born in 1922, comes to Ankara in 1934 and starts working for Kardeşler Taxi, the first telephone-taxi service of Ankara, owned by his uncles.
Later, in 1946, he establishes his own telephone-taxi company, which is a first with its uniformed drivers and taxi stand where daily newspapers are also available.
Resuming his commercial life by opening the first modern petrol station with lift canopy in Ankara in 1949, Mehmet Emin Selamoğlu starts domestic transportation with a fleet of 15 trucks in early 1951, which was a first for those years.
