After working 13 years in the Turkish Aerospace industry, I know how difficult it is to change jobs, change countries, change entirely the way of living…
But I decided to take the challenge and went to Japan. My first observation was how well-prepared Turkish engineering Experience can be in an International setting; I found our hands-on process and knowledge, combined with deep technical expertise along with the ability to see the big picture was well received by international experts. In particular, the Japanese engineers respected our strong work ethic and values.
The biggest personal takeaway from this experience is that Turkish engineers possess solid education and training, and combining this with our strong cultural values, makes us stand out in any international setting.
And so, I decided to create an alternative environment for Turkish Engineers to experience international projects without having to uproot their life. We can live in our own country but still be able to work for international customers and projects. And, HSB Solutions was born.
Our business is about branding Turkish engineers. We want our team to be recognized around the world. We want them to be the brands of the future that represent Turkey.
HSB Solutions is purposefully different. We have cultivated a people-first culture that goes above and beyond to create a great experience for our customers. We do not want our people to feel blue on Sunday nights thinking about Monday morning. That is the culture we are striving for…
Our Story
The Aerospace Industry is evolving, driving a growing need for tailored, high-quality engineering solutions that address modern complexity. While large corporations focus on scaling through consolidation, they often overlook the unique challenges of one-off, high-mix projects. This has created a critical opportunity for agile, innovative providers who prioritize precision, adaptability, and accountability.
HSB Solutions was founded in 2022 by Hazan Günay and Udaya Silva to bridge this gap and redefine how aerospace engineering services are delivered. Drawing on decades of global experience—most notably their collaboration on the Mitsubishi Regional Aircraft in Japan—they set out to build a company that blends technical excellence with a customer-first mindset, challenging conventional approaches to engineering.
What began in Ankara, Türkiye has quickly grown into a global organization. By 2023, HSB expanded to Munich, Germany, and established a second office in Ankara to support its growing operations. Today, our team works across Türkiye, Germany, the US, the UK, Japan, Dubai, Saudi Arabia, and India. This global presence allows us to seamlessly integrate with diverse customer cultures, combining technical expertise with cultural adaptability to deliver unmatched results.
With a portfolio of international customers across key aerospace markets and a team dedicated to solving complex challenges, HSB Solutions is making its mark. Anchored by three main offices, we serve as hubs for innovation, collaboration, and excellence—proving the strength of Turkish engineering on the global stage, one project at a time.

Through her work, she continues to champion technical excellence and elevate the global recognition of Turkish engineering.
Founder & Owner
I met Hazan in Japan while working for Mitsubishi Aircraft in 2019. I did not know much about Turkey and certainly did not know Turkey had such strong engineers. Even then, we immediately started talking about creating an engineering core business.
The Mitsubishi regional aircraft was at its prime, right before the Pandemic began. We were in heavy recruiting mode, and could not find engineers fast enough. This was a dream for engineering service providers. From our perspective, these service providers were taking advantage of the situation, hiking rates, pushing back any accountability, and to top it off, just generally bad customer experience.
So, it was natural for us to try to solve the problem that we ourselves were facing, even at that time. That was the beginning of our mission to make Turkish engineering known around the world and brand HSB as the pioneer for exporting Turkish engineering.
A “People First” Culture
Our culture is built on trust and shaped by our core values: Trust, Resilience, Empathy, Appreciation, and Passion. These principles guide every decision and action, uniting us in our mission to showcase the strength of Turkish engineering on the global stage.
We believe that trust, not rigid rules, fosters accountability and empowers individuals. This foundation inspires creativity, adaptability, and collaboration, enabling a resilient team ready to tackle any challenge.
Empathy and passion define how we engage—within our teams and with our customers. By understanding unique needs and building genuine relationships, we consistently deliver solutions that exceed expectations—on time, within budget, and with exceptional quality.
Together, we create a people-centered environment where excellence thrives, every effort is appreciated, and meaningful impact is achieved for our team, customers, and the aerospace industry.
