History

The club was founded in 1994, by workers at Banvit, a meat company based in Bandırma. The team began playing in the regional leagues in 1998 and were promoted to the second division in 2001. In 2004, the team was promoted to TBL as champions.^[3]

The team played FIBA EuroCup Challenge in their first TBL season and reached the semi-final. The team reached the semi-final in TBL five times and reached the final in Turkish Cup Basketball twice, but never won these competitions. In 2012–13 season the team beat Beşiktaş in quarter-final series and beat Anadolu Efes in semi-final series of playoffs and reached the final, where they lost against Galatasaray Medical Park 4–1. For next season, Banvit qualified for the Qualifying Round of Euroleague. But they lost against Telenet Oostende and dropped to the Eurocup.^{[citation needed]}

Banvit is considered to have one of the best youth teams in Turkey. Players like İzzet Türkyılmaz, Şafak Edge, Tolga Geçim and İbrahim Yıldırım were developed in Banvit's youth teams. Banvit also has a reserve team that plays in TB2L under the name of Bandırma Kırmızı. This team also played Turkish Basketball League in 2011–12 season.^{[citation needed]}
