A family story that began in a grocery store in 1965.
The foundations of Kadem Gıda were laid in 1965 in a small grocery store, through the labour and honest trade of the brothers Adem and Musa Büyükköroğlu. In 1976 we entered the poultry sector and grew with experience stretching from breeding to marketing. In 1987 we opened our first poultry cutting and retail point; with a second branch in 1998 and a third in 2001, we added red meat to our service network.
The flavour we have grown step by step with our own labour has today become a brand that sets its own standards.
At first, we had our own meat contract-filled and offered the flavours under our own brand. To take these flavours further, we began our quality development processes in 2016. In 2019 we received our production licence and took our steps toward becoming an institution.
Today, in our modern production facility with 3,000 square metres of covered area in the Akşehir Organised Industrial Zone, we continue to produce our traditional flavours, which leave an unforgettable mark on the palate, to the highest hygiene standards.
Our Production Philosophy
Production focused on health and flavour
We produce free of cost-driven concerns. We do not make our sucuk to use up trimmings or leftover meat; we prepare it only from carefully selected, first-class meat and a traditional spice blend.
The truest laboratory is “a child’s palate”
Children are our boldest claim and our seal of quality. Because their palates are not spoiled by artificial flavours, they sense real, natural flavour instantly. Children who taste Kadem Sucuk asking for it again and again is the strongest proof that we produce it the right way.
Nothing hidden, a transparent process
From meat selection and spice preparation to kneading, filling and packaging, we show every stage of our production openly. Because the best way to stand behind a good product is not to hide how it is made.
From 1965 to today
- 1965
A small grocery store
The foundations were laid by the Büyükköroğlu brothers, Adem and Musa, with hard work and honest trade.
- 1976
A new era with poultry
Our trading life, which began with a grocery store, grew when we entered the poultry sector in 1976. Our activities, which started with poultry farming, expanded over time with our experience in marketing and trade.
- 1987
From production to sale
By starting our own poultry processing, we began offering our products through a process that stretched from our own slaughter to retail sale.
- 1998 – 2001
Second and third branches
To bring our growing business to more customers, we opened our second and third branches and began offering red meat alongside our poultry products.
- 2016
Quality development
We had our sucuk contract-filled and offered it to our customers with our own meat under our own brand. In this period, our search for better flavour and higher quality became the start of a new approach to production.
- 2019
Production licence
By obtaining our production licence, we began to take our own production processes to a more professional level. This step was one of the key turning points in building the production infrastructure we have today.
- 2026
Our own production facility in Akşehir OIZ
In 2026 we opened our modern facility with 3,000 m² of covered area in the Akşehir Organised Industrial Zone. Combining the experience we have gained over the years with modern production conditions, we continue to produce our traditional flavours in our own facility.
To produce more than we promise and to stand behind what we produce. From flavour to hygiene and from raw materials to packaging, care and control guide every stage.
For people to still say the same thing about our name years from now: “I know what they make, and I trust them.” To be a strong family brand that preserves its deep-rooted past while constantly improving its production, and that openly shows what it produces and how.
For us, this is more than just production...
At the start of production, we bring together years of experience and our veterinary knowledge. We care about every step being done right, from raw material to finished product, and we stand behind every product made at KADEM GIDA.
