Today, we export to more than 30 countries and are the first Turkish brand to export clotted cream and dairy desserts to the EU.
Our large-scale production facilities are supported by a sterile, fully equipped pilot R&D plant for product innovation, as well as a dedicated in-house laboratory for advanced analysis and quality control.
