What Poyraz Poyraz does

Poyraz Poyraz Fındık Entegre A.Ş. is a vertically integrated hazelnut producer and supplier headquartered in Ordu, in Turkey's Black Sea region, the historic origin of commercial hazelnut cultivation. The company sources, cracks, and processes hazelnuts into eight core product lines — inshell, natural kernels, blanched, roasted, diced, sliced, hazelnut meal, and hazelnut paste — sold primarily to industrial food manufacturers (chocolate, confectionery, bakery, pastry, ice cream) and, to a lesser extent, retail consumers via its own e-commerce storefront at cakildak.com.tr.

Operations are anchored by a 37,000 m² facility (17,500 m² indoor) in Ordu, combining a 3,700 m² cracking unit with a 5,200 m² integrated processing plant and 6,800 m² of storage. Combined annual throughput capacity is 52,300 tons (24,000 tons shelled at the cracking facility; 36,300 tons processed plus 16,000 tons natural at the integrated factory). The plant uses 6 ton/hour roasting lines, electronic laser selectors, sortex optical sorters, sieves, metal detectors, and a four-section quality control laboratory covering physical, chemical, microbiological, and aflatoxin analysis. The company holds ISO22000, BRC, IFS, Halal, Kosher, Organic, UTZ, and SEDEX certifications, and has operated a UTZ/Rainforest-aligned sustainable agriculture program since 2015.

The business model is predominantly B2B enterprise field sales: bulk packaging (jute bags, big bags, IBC tanks) shipped to global food manufacturers in over 80 countries, with a smaller direct-to-consumer retail channel through cakildak.com.tr and a trilingual corporate site (Turkish, English, German). Pricing is not publicly disclosed; transactions are quote-based against customer specifications. The company is privately held, family-controlled (Chairman Mustafa Poyraz, Board Member Nermin Poyraz), with no disclosed institutional investors, parent company, or subsidiaries. It was founded in 1980 as a trading operation, incorporated as a joint stock company on March 2, 1993, and has been listed among Turkey's Top 500 industrial enterprises by the Istanbul Chamber of Industry.
