He was born in a modest family in Kayseri in 1944 as the youngest of five brothers. He completed his primary and secondary education in Kayseri. “I have not set up any of my businesses with ready-made capital.” Says Murat Kantarcı, he made his first attempt in a small workshop in Kayseri in 1966. In his business life, which he started with a few employees, he became a businessman who produced steel office furniture and employed more than a hundred people between 1967-1975.
