Biography

Zorlu began working in the business of his father Hacı Mehmet Zorlu, a textile factory. Ahmet Nazif Zorlu and his brother Zeki Zorlu expanded the business in 1960, by opening a store in Trabzon, and one in Istanbul later in 1966.[3] Zorlu noted a gap in the textile market, and began producing patterned bed sheets under the TAÇ brand, and later produced the first king-sized bed sheets in Turkey.[3]

In 2017, Zorlu was listed by Forbes as one of the richest men in Turkey, with an estimated US$1.3 billion fortune.[4]
