Turkish confectionery and snacks manufacturer exporting to 120+ countries
Şölen is a 35-year-old confectionery and snacks producer operating two manufacturing facilities (Istanbul, Gaziantep) with annual capacity of 330,000 tons and Industry 4.0 infrastructure. The company's tech stack is heavily SAP-centric (BW, BusinessObjects, Analytics Cloud) paired with SQL and Microsoft Office tools—typical of large-scale FMCG operations managing complex supply chains and multi-regional retail distribution. Active hiring in marketing, operations, and sales reflects a focus on trade channel optimization and regional expansion, particularly into Saudi Arabia, rather than product innovation.
Şölen manufactures chocolate, confectionery, and savory snacks under seven primary brands (Biscolata, Ozmo, Milango, Boombastic, Luppo, Lokkum, Nutymax), exporting over 200 product types to more than 120 countries. The company operates regional offices in seven countries (Dubai, Algeria, Azerbaijan, USA, Saudi Arabia, Germany, England) plus regional directorates across the Levant, Canada, China, and Latin America. With 2,300+ employees across two production facilities spanning 210,000 m², Şölen positions itself as one of the world's leading confectionery manufacturers. The organization maintains dedicated R&D centers in both Istanbul and Gaziantep, marking it as the first Turkish food company with dual-location research infrastructure.
