Founded in 1987 as a family enterprise under the “Atikler” brand, the company began its journey as a modest hazelnut cracking facility operating under limited conditions. Guided by vision, resilience, and generational leadership, Dost Hazelnut has evolved into an internationally recognized organization operating state-of-the-art, technologically advanced processing facilities.

Strategic milestones have shaped this growth journey. The establishment of a new cracking facility in 1995 marked a decisive step toward structured expansion. In 2003, the company initiated the construction of its modern hazelnut processing plant under the Dost Hazelnut name. By 2008, all affiliated companies were unified under a single corporate identity, strengthening operational synergy and brand integrity. Continuing its sustainable growth strategy, the company commissioned its retail product manufacturing facility in 2014 and its second hazelnut processing plant in 2020, reinforcing its production capacity and global competitiveness.

In the annual industry rankings, Dost Hazelnut is consistently recognized among Turkey’s Top 1,000 Industrial Enterprises and the Top 500 Industrial Enterprises of Anatolia.
