Find Jobs in Balikesir

Balıkesir benefits from an unbeatable geographical location exactly at the intersection between the economically strong Marmara region (Istanbul/Bursa) and the Aegean (Izmir). This location makes the city an immensely important logistical hub.

However, Balıkesir is best known as the agricultural superpower of Turkey. The vast, fertile lands make the province one of the country's most important suppliers of meat, dairy products, and agricultural goods.

This abundance of raw materials has given rise to a massive, modern food processing and packaging industry. Furthermore, more and more automotive suppliers and technology companies are settling in the newly established industrial zones (OSB), seeking to escape expensive Istanbul while remaining logistically connected.
