Yudum was acquired by the agricultural and food giant Tiryaki Agro after approximately 1.5 years of negotiations. With this acquisition, Savola Food becomes Tiryaki Agro's strategic partner, while the aim is to enhance Yudum's global production and export capacity.
The leading brand in Turkey's retail liquid oil sector, Yudum, has been acquired by Tiryaki Agro, known for its significant investments in agriculture and food. Operating under the Savola Food umbrella since 2007, Yudum will now continue its journey within the Gaziantep-based Tiryaki Agro.
THE ACQUISITION CAME AFTER 1.5 YEARS OF NEGOTIATIONS
With the acquisition that took place after approximately 1.5 years of strategic negotiations, Yudum's ownership structure has changed. The former owner of the brand, Savola Food based in Saudi Arabia, has now become a strategic partner of Tiryaki Agro.
GLOBAL POWER AND DEEP EXPERIENCE COME TOGETHER
According to agricultural journalist Ali Ekber Yıldırım, Tiryaki Agro's strong global supply chain has now merged with Yudum's long-standing production experience through this acquisition. The collaboration is expected to enhance the brand's strength in both domestic and international markets.
PRODUCTION REACHING THE WORLD FROM AYVALIK
Since 1975, Yudum has been producing at its facilities in Ayvalık, particularly maintaining its leadership in the olive oil and sunflower oil markets. The Ayvalık factory has an annual production capacity of 20,000 tons of olive oil, and the products produced here are exported to more than 25 countries, including Switzerland, Canada, the USA, and Japan.
WIDE PRODUCT PORTFOLIO
In addition to the Yudum brand, corn and sunflower oil are produced under the Sırma brand, while margarine production is carried out under the Vala and Sava brands. This wide product portfolio aims to further enhance Tiryaki Agro's impact in the retail channel.
RETAIL MOVE FROM TİRYAKİ AGRO
Founded in 1965 in Gaziantep, Tiryaki Agro operates not only in food and agricultural trade but also in animal nutrition, bioindustry, energy, and logistics. With the acquisition of Yudum, the company aims to elevate its presence in the retail channel to the highest level.
LONG-TERM STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP
The fact that Savola Food will have a stake in Tiryaki Agro as part of the acquisition indicates that the collaboration between the two groups will be sustained on a long-term and strategic partnership basis.
