meet our owner
I’m Çağrı Cenk Açan. For me, this isn’t just a business — it’s a lifestyle I’ve built from everything I love and lived through. I am bringing a European take on Jeff Lagasse’s legacy with Gen One Customs.
I started my journey in Istanbul, working with my cousin on luxury cars — restoring, customizing, and perfecting every detail. Over the years, I also built a career in the hospitality industry as a mixologist, working in some of the best bars and restaurants. That experience taught me how to create unforgettable experiences — not just serve drinks, but deliver a feeling.
I’ve also spent years on the water as a professional yacht captain, learning the precision and discipline that comes with handling marine and aviation-grade machinery.
Now, with Gen One Customs, I’m bringing all of that together — cars, marine, and aviation — into one lifestyle brand. This isn’t just about detailing; it’s about craftsmanship, culture, and connection. Every project we take on is built around passion, precision, and personality — just like a perfect cocktail or a smooth sail.
At Gen One Customs, we don’t just clean machines — we create experiences.
