We Combine Modern Technology with Naturalness.
Established in December 2002, EFTA Group continues to add value to our country with a commitment to local and national service, maintaining its founding excitement and passion. By placing international quality standards at the core of our production processes, we move forward with determination, never compromising on our principle of "Quality Products and Superior Service." By integrating modern technology with naturalness, we bring Turkey’s local resources to the industry with a global vision.
In line with our respect for our nation and our goal of becoming a globally respected brand, our salt mining operation in Kırıkkale-Delice provides the most natural crystal rock salt to the food and industrial sectors. On this journey, as a subsidiary of EFTA Group, we continue to grow through innovative technologies and process Turkey's natural resources in their purest form.
