The SPDC corporate entity was established through the vision of its founder, Ali Saygili, Sr., an extraordinary man who worked his way up through the ranks in the onshore/offshore pipeline industry from the 1960’s forward.

Ali Saygili pioneered the trend in supplying a qualified workforce to construction companies worldwide in 1975, by providing a highly diverse and qualified supply of pipeline manpower to major projects around the world. Ali Saygili obtained training and practical experience in a range of progressively responsible capacities within the oil pipeline industry such as a heavy-duty machine mechanic, technician, manager, and project manager in a series of major pipeline projects.

In 1975, after 15 years of extensive work and travels in the European pipeline industry, Ali Saygili returned to Turkey on a pipeline project for the Crutcher Resources Corporation (CRC) as the project assistant manager and provided a constant and qualified manpower supply for a key TURKEY-IRAQ pipeline project. His meticulous efforts succeeded in providing highly qualified automatic and manual welders, operators, as well as other numerous and diverse qualified project personnel, who became a primary factor in the overall success of that project. The commitment, dedication, professionalism, durability to work long hours within long-term projects and quality of work from the crew assembled by Ali drew the attention of pipeline contractors worldwide. In 1975 Ali Saygili was the first professional to introduce training for automatic welders in Turkey. This trend has become a sizeable industry within the Turkish construction economy. Ali Saygili then continued to provide qualified manpower resources to major companies including:

Subsequent to Ali’s retirement from the business world, Vedat Saygili continues his vision through SPDC by maintaining his business ethics and integrity in every aspect of the industry through personal charisma, dedication, and top quality management abilities.

Through the formation of SPDC, Vedat Saygili solidified Ali Saygili’s vision into a globally successful entity. Vedat continues to provide exceptional manpower resources while bringing 21st century innovations to the organization.
