Due to the global economic crisis, many companies in Turkey have declared bankruptcy, and the latest addition to the list is Özel Gıda, which has been operating for 85 years. The giant company, unable to overcome its financial difficulties, has declared concordat.

Özel Gıda, which operates in the food, construction, and textile sectors, has filed for concordat at the Ankara West Commercial Court due to financial difficulties.

The court evaluated the company's application for restructuring its debts and continuing its operations, granting a three-month temporary bankruptcy protection decision. It also ruled for the appointment of a two-person concordat commissioner board to closely monitor the company's financial structure. It was stated that the next hearing will be held in January 2026.

85 YEARS OF DEEP ROOTS

According to the information on the company's website, Özel Gıda, which was founded in 1940 at the Ankara Wholesale Market, achieved its current corporate structure in 1997.

EXPORTING TO EUROPEAN COUNTRIES

The company, which operates in food production, vegetable-fruit cultivation, marketing, and construction sectors, exports to countries such as the UK, Russia, Germany, Libya, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia. Additionally, Özel Gıda is among the suppliers of Turkey's leading retail chains.
