In 1990, the facility started manufacturing Topkek, and with new investments made in the years 1994, 1998 and 2001 due to the insufficient capacity, new lines were launched for Popkek and Topkek products.

As the products manufactured at Bozüyük factory were the first of their kind in Turkey and leaders of the market in their own categories, the plant achieved a quite rapid growth within a short period of time. With its physical capacity falling short of meeting the gradually increasing demands, the factory was moved to Eskişehir Organized Industrial Zone so as to continue its manufacturing activities in accordance with world standards.
