Our Journey
In 1985, our founders began processing dried apricots in a modest workshop in Malatya, driven by the conviction that the region's exceptional fruit deserved a place on tables worldwide. Through disciplined reinvestment in technology and people, the business evolved — first to a mechanised line, then to a purpose-built factory in the Malatya 2nd Organised Industrial Zone. By the early 2000s we were exporting to over twenty countries; today we serve more than thirty-five markets on five continents while maintaining the hands-on quality ethos that defined our earliest days.

Core Values
Our values are not slogans on a wall — they are measurable commitments reviewed in every management meeting and every customer interaction.
Uncompromising Quality
We invest continuously in laboratory equipment, staff training, and process validation so that every shipment reflects the standard our customers expect. Quality is non-negotiable at any volume.
Integrity & Transparency
Open communication, honest crop assessments, and fair pricing build the trust that underpins long-term partnerships. We share challenges as readily as good news.
Continuous Innovation
From optical sorting upgrades to biodegradable packaging trials, we allocate resources each year to projects that improve efficiency, product quality, or environmental performance.
Sustainable Responsibility
We support local growers with fair procurement practices, minimise water and energy use in processing, and work toward reducing packaging waste across our supply chain.
Our Processing Plant
Situated in Malatya's 2nd Organised Industrial Zone, our 12,000 sqm facility houses dedicated lines for washing, sulphuring, drying, optical sorting, metal detection, and packaging. Climate-controlled storage holds over 3,000 MT of finished goods. The plant runs two shifts during peak season to meet an annual throughput of 10,000 metric tons while maintaining the meticulous hygiene standards required by our BRCGS AA+ certification.
Our People
Behind every shipment is a team of food technologists, quality auditors, logistics coordinators, and commercial managers who share a common goal: delivering exactly what we promise. Ongoing training programmes in HACCP, allergen management, and customer-specific standards ensure our workforce stays at the leading edge of the industry.
