The company was founded following a decision by the Council of Ministers, which Kemal Atatürk was behind, in 1934. This decision entrusted Türkiye İş Bankası with the task of developing the Turkish glass industry. The following year, the company Türkiye Şişe ve Cam Fabrikaları Anonim Sosyetesi was officially founded and the glassworks in Paşabahçe was able to start operations. The foundation stone for the plant there was laid back in 1934 by Prime Minister İsmet İnönü and Minister of Economy Celâl Bayar. At the time of its opening, the glassworks had a workforce of around 400 employees and a daily production capacity of 25,000 glass bottles. In 1957, two retail stores were established in Istanbul and Ankara to sell glassware directly, which are now the Paşabahçe chain, with stores operating across Türkiye and in Qatar.
