History

The HUSEBY family company has a storied history that commenced when Henry Huseby, an immigrant from Northern Europe, founded a prosperous antique trading business in Chicago in 1880.

His son, W.R. Huseby, inherited his father’s zeal and continued to enhance and fortify the family enterprise.

In 1954, W.R. Huseby established the esteemed “Marcus Aurelius Art Collection,” showcasing the family’s most precious antiques.

The legacy of art and antique trading persisted with W.R. Huseby’s son, Mark Huseby, who diversified the family business in the 1960s and made successful investments in various sectors, including media, industry, and the hospitality industry in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Assuming the company’s leadership in 1975, Mark Huseby expanded its reach into Europe and Asia, demonstrating a solid understanding of recognising and leveraging business prospects.

Furthermore, he augmented the family’s art and jewellery collection through substantial acquisitions from respected collectors and trusted contacts in the art market.

During the 1970s and 1980s, Mark Huseby established a presence in the media, entertainment, and showbiz world in Las Vegas, fostering relationships and business connections with influential figures in the industry.

Following W.R. Huseby’s passing in June 1999, Mark Huseby assumed the role of President of the group until 2006.

The establishment and growth of the family business are intricately connected with the nation’s historical narrative.

In 1925, merely two years after the establishment of the Turkish Republic, Huseyin Yavuz commenced his career in the construction sector in the Erzurum region at the age of 13, contributing to the emerging republic’s national rebuilding efforts.

At the age of 17, Hüseyin Yavuz established a construction team that undertook projects, including the construction of bridges and mosques, and later executed turnkey projects.

Subsequently, the founder’s three sons, Nurettin, Mehmet, and Alaattin, became involved in the family business at a young age.

The Yavuz company experienced remarkable success in the construction sector in the following years.

Mehmet Yavuz, the second son of the company founder, played a pivotal role in the family business’s nationwide expansion from the 1950s onwards.

His responsibilities primarily involved further developing the company at the national level during Turkey’s reform period.

He undertook significant projects with a team of esteemed experts, including constructing essential government and social structures.

In 1968, Mehmet Yavuz strategically decided to expand the company to Germany.

He achieved considerable success there until 1972, predominantly in the construction sector in Baden-Württemberg.

Subsequently, Mehmet Yavuz shifted the focus of the construction activity to Schleswig Holstein, which specialises in the restoration of historic structures.

As a result, the family business evolved into one of the leading entities in Germany, restoring historic buildings such as churches, townhouses, residences, and castles according to authentic blueprints.

In 1996, Mehmet’s eldest son, Şakir Yavuz, assumed family business leadership and propelled the company to continued success.

Simultaneously, Şakir Yavuz diversified the company’s portfolio and expanded into sports centres, sports management, event and media management, textiles, furniture, investment, consulting, and art collection and trade, fostering a global network in these and other areas.

In 2000, the consolidation of two esteemed family enterprises, HUSEBY and YAVUZ, gave birth to Perfect Timing Holding, a consortium of companies with American, German, and Turkish roots.

Under the leadership of Sakir Yavuz, the President, Perfect Timing Holding has achieved notable milestones and undergone substantial transformations.

In 2007, Şakir Yavuz assumed the role of the 3rd PTH President and spearheaded a comprehensive restructuring of the business operations.

This endeavour encompassed the establishment of a new European headquarters, acquiring the Perfect Timing media group, and the integration of the “Marcus Aurelius Art Collection” and “SayArtsCollection.”

Since 2008, Perfect Timing Holding has consistently invested in various business sectors, including software and hardware technologies, real estate, textile, tourism, healthcare, energy, media, education, shipping, and other vital domains.

These strategic investments have contributed to successfully expanding the group’s portfolio.

Utilising a robust international network, the company has adeptly pinpointed and analysed global developments, seamlessly integrating them into project planning and execution.

The shareholders of Perfect Timing Holding are devoted to upholding a robust and sustainable core business while remaining open to new developments.

The company has expanded its presence in key markets through targeted investments and acquisitions in companies with a solid global footing.

This accomplishment has been made possible through the support of an in-house team of experts covering diverse disciplines, spanning business, education, tourism, software, hardware, real estate, law, architecture, construction, finance, media, fashion, and digital technologies, among others.
