After 13 years in the Turkish aerospace industry, I understood how difficult it is to change countries, cultures, and ways of working. Taking that step to Japan was a defining moment.
What stood out immediately was how well Turkish engineering translated into an international environment. Our hands-on mindset, strong technical foundation, and ability to see the bigger picture were deeply respected, particularly by Japanese engineers who value discipline, work ethic, and accountability.
That experience shaped my vision for HSB Solutions. I wanted to create an alternative path for Turkish engineers. One where they could contribute to world-class international programs without having to uproot their lives.
HSB is about building pride, visibility, and opportunity. We want our engineers to be recognized globally. Just as importantly, we want to create a workplace where people are excited about what they are building and not dreading Monday mornings.
Our Story
The aerospace industry is evolving rapidly. As programs become more complex, demand is growing for highly specialized, high-quality engineering support. Yet large, consolidated service providers often struggle to serve one-off, high-mix, mission-critical work with the precision and accountability it requires.
HSB Solutions was founded in 2022 by Hazan Günay and Udaya Silva to address this gap.
Drawing on decades of global aerospace experience, including their work together on the Mitsubishi Regional Aircraft program in Japan, they set out to build a different kind of engineering company. One that combines deep technical rigor with agility, ownership, and a customer-first mindset.
What began in Ankara, Türkiye has grown rapidly into a global organization. In 2023, HSB expanded to Munich, Germany, and today our teams support customers across Türkiye, Germany, the USA, the UK, Japan, the Middle East, and India.
Anchored by three core offices, HSB Solutions operates as a globally integrated engineering partner. Our distributed model allows us to embed seamlessly into customer programs, align with local cultures, and deliver complex engineering work with consistency and accountability.
Vision
Engineering the Future of Flight.
Mission
Partnering with Aerospace Innovators to solve the hardest engineering challenges.
Values
Trust | Ownership | People
Why Rooted in Türkiye?
Türkiye has quietly built one of the most competent and competitive engineering talent pools in the world.
A rigorous education system, strong emphasis on mathematics and engineering, and a deeply ingrained culture of competitiveness produce engineers who are technically strong, resilient, and highly adaptable.
Combined with Türkiye’s unique position bridging East and West, and its growing ecosystem of industry, research, and academia, this creates a powerful foundation for globally competitive aerospace engineering.
HSB Solutions was built on this foundation and designed to connect it seamlessly to the global aerospace industry.

International Business & Strategy
I met Hazan while working on the Mitsubishi Aircraft program in Japan in 2019. At the time, I had little exposure to Türkiye and no idea how strong its engineering talent was.
The program was in peak execution mode. Demand for engineers was extreme, and many service providers responded by increasing rates while reducing accountability and customer experience. We experienced this firsthand.
That frustration sparked a simple question. What if there were an engineering partner that combined deep expertise with ownership, transparency, and respect for the customer?
That question became HSB Solutions. From the beginning, our mission has been to build a globally respected engineering business and to establish Turkish engineering as a trusted, premium export on the world stage.
