The founder of Kafkas, late Ali Sakir Tatveren, for the first time 50 years ago offered his knowledge and experience in the field of sweets to the residents of Bursa by bringing chestnut candies to Bursa, which was known as the taste of the Mediterranean and European countries.
Ali Sakir Tatveren paved the path for Kafkas to be a well-known brand today in the fields of sweets and chestnut candy production by being rigorous and producing high quality products in his business which he started out as small scale. The secret of this taste, transformed from being produced by traditional ways passed on from generation to generation in the family to an industrial scale production. Kafkas won the trust of its clients by its production in modern facilities in accordance with hygiene and quality standards.
Knowing the importance of having modern facilities, to use modern technology and to have the products available everywhere for successful branding, Kafkas built in 19999 a 6500m2 closed and 10.000m2 open space modern facilities. In those facilities state of the art technology is applied in every stage of production from the acceptance of the raw materials to producing the final product.
Kafkas has 12 stores in Bursa. In addition to that, they run their national marketing with their branches in the form of shop or corner stores in the central regions in Turkey with their more than 90 sale points.
Kafkas has the capacity to work with over 3000 tons raw chestnuts in a year and %20 of its production is exported. With France being the leading country in exports, USA, Greece, UK, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Poland, Thailand and Japan follow France’s lead.
