From One Visionary to a Community Protected: The Story of Our Founder
In 1958, one man’s belief in his community created more than an insurance company — it built a legacy of trust. Discover the story of Can Sigorta’s founder, who just celebrated his birthday, and how his vision continues to protect generations.
A Promise That Became a Legacy
Every great story begins with one person who decides to care more than required.
For Can Sigorta, that person is our founder, whose quiet determination in 1958 created not only an insurance company — but a lifelong promise of trust.
This photograph, taken as he just celebrated his birthday, captures more than a simple moment.
Behind him stand decades of dedication — rows of awards and commemorative plates, symbols of persistence and service to the Turkish Cypriot community.
In front of him: a simple cake, one candle, one smile. A lifetime of purpose distilled into a single frame.
1958, Sarayönü Square, Nicosia: Where It All Began
When he established Can Sigorta in the heart of Sarayönü Square, the world was different.
Policies were typed by hand, and every document carried both legal and moral weight.
Every signature represented personal responsibility, not just business.
Yet the spirit that guided him — honesty, persistence, and care for people — remains the foundation of how we work today.
Carrying the Vision Forward
Over six decades later, his vision continues to guide us.
From the red carpets of our modern offices to our 24/7 online services, we hold fast to the same belief:
Insurance is not a transaction — it’s a relationship built on trust.
Our founder’s laughter, captured here, reminds us that progress means nothing without gratitude.
Every renewal, every claim, every new customer who joins the Can Sigorta family — all trace back to that first act of faith in 1958.
Thank You, Founder
To our founder, we say:
Thank you for starting this journey.
Because of you, generations can say with pride —
YES WE CAN.
