History

Founded in 1989 in Gaziantep, Şölen has grown quickly to become one of Turkey’s largest chocolate producers. Even before becoming a well-known brand in its own country, Şölen achieved success in the international arena. After beginning its overseas venture with exports to Russia and the Middle East, Şölen has expanded rapidly to all parts of the globe and now ships its products to nearly 90 countries.

In the large market of chocolate production, Şölen’s facilities are unparalleled. Its huge production area of 62,000 m² is equipped with the world’s most advanced manufacturing technologies. With a daily production capacity of 380 tons, Şölen turns out over 200 different products, each piece carefully created to satisfy the varying needs of its clients.

While over 70% of Şölen’s total production is exported to overseas markets, 30% stays at home and is shipped to every corner of Turkey. Domestically, Şölen reaches its customers through over 50,000 points of sale, mainly via large supermarket chains.

In just a 17 years, Şölen has risen to the rank of 263 on the list of Turkey’s top 500 companies.
