From the Oven to the Table: Pakmaya - The Name of Half a Century of Experience

Founded in 1972 as part of Pak Group, Pakmaya began baker’s yeast production in 1973 with the commissioning of its first factory in İzmit Köseköy.

Following fresh yeast production, dry yeast production also began at our İzmit factory.

Building on our experience in Türkiye, we entered international markets with our first export to Iran.

With the establishment of As Gıda, we started producing bread improving products for bakeries.

The biological wastewater treatment plant we established at our Izmit factory became the first wastewater treatment plant in Kocaeli province.

Our second factory was established in Kemalpaşa, İzmir. We initially started operations with the production of fresh yeast.

Pak Biotechnology Center was established at our İzmit factory to conduct R&D activities for yeast production.

Our third factory in Cumayeri, Düzce, started operations as a new investment strengthening our production network.

FAGEM was established at our İzmit factory as Türkiye’s first private R&D center for bakery and pastry applications.

In 1998, we commissioned Rompak, Romania’s first and only baker’s yeast factory, bringing our production expertise to international markets.

After bakery products, we expanded into pastry and home baking products, steadily advancing our brand from yeast toward a broader food brand.

We have transformed our R&D centers, where we conduct research on yeast and the environment, into an R&D center approved by the Turkish Ministry of Industry and Technology.

Our Izmir factory won second place in the Environmental Award Competition organized by the Aegean Region Chamber of Industry.
