What Golda does

Golda Gıda Sanayi ve Ticaret Anonim Şirketi is a Turkish grain-based food manufacturer founded in 1996 and headquartered in Konya, with integrated production facilities occupying 1,078,000 m² of open area and 76,082 m² of indoor space in Karaman Kazımkarabekir. The company operates five factory units covering the full pasta value chain — flour, semolina (İrmik), pasta (makarna), biscuits and wafers, and legumes (bakliyat) — anchored by a PLC-controlled 500 ton/day semolina mill and 250 ton/day pasta production lines. Sub-brands include Golda (main), Melda (export-focused pasta), and Anatoli. The company is a subsidiary of Bera Holding, employs 336–350 people, and is undergoing an IPO on Borsa İstanbul scheduled for July 1–2, 2026 with a ~805 million TL offering size and a post-IPO market capitalization of approximately 2.3 billion TL.

Golda generates revenue through a B2B wholesale model exporting pasta, flour, semolina, biscuits, wafers, and legumes to distributors and retailers in 60+ countries across five continents (pasta accounts for approximately 76% of export value by volume), complemented by a direct-to-consumer online store (goldamarket.com) for domestic Turkish sales. Trade fair participation at Gulfood Dubai, Anuga Germany, Worldfood Istanbul, and Müsiad is the primary demand-generation channel for international business development. The company supports production economics through on-site energy self-generation — a 2 MW cogeneration plant established in 2019 and a 1.8 MW solar energy plant added in 2023 — and holds ISO 50001 energy management and Zero Waste certifications.

For Q1 2026, Golda reported revenue of 685,467,000 TL with gross profit of 90,945,000 TL (13.7% margin), up 10% year-over-year, and equity of 3.9 billion TL. Q1 2026 revenue implies annualized revenue in the 2.7–2.8 billion TL range (~$70–73 million USD at prevailing USD/TRY levels). The company's strategic posture is one of capacity expansion and export-led growth, with IPO proceeds allocated 50–60% to capacity expansion and modernization and 40–50% to working capital.
