Ramerica has been established in 1984 as a result of the Koç Holding’s international strategic attempts taken in 1980 regarding the expansion of the overseas activities.
In 1985 the company designated the range of its activities as following:

• Marketing and selling Turkish textile (Ready to Wear Products) in the US market
• Exporting raw materials from US to Turkey;
• Trading between US and Europe;
• Serving in US for the sale of the other Turkish products.

Ramerica, adding leather articles, oil, timber and refrigerator to its marketing products, has moved to its new office in Empire State Building in 1987 and its revenue in US market reached to $ 30 million.

Because of the slowdown of the imports depending on recession in US and due to the decay in Turkish relative competitive power, Ramerica exited from the ready-to wear field by 1992 and continued its trading activities in the new business fields.

Ramerica representing approximately 30 companies in machinery, equipment, construction and food fields in United States, has involved in marketing operations in a wide scope and its revenue reached to $ 4.5 million in 1993.

In the new structuring of the Foreign Trade Group, Ramerica is operating as the US liaison office of the Koç Group since 1999.
