Bee Products Sector Leader Balparmak Enters "ISO Second 500" List

Balparmak, which is listed in the "Second 500 Major Industrial Enterprises" announced by Istanbul Chamber of Industry (İSO), has reinforced its pioneering position in honey and bee products with industrial strength.

Starting out 45 years ago with the vision of creating a brand that would bring natural honey to its deserved value, Balparmak has set numerous sector firsts by establishing it as a standard to present trustworthy and natural honey to tables through advanced analytical methods developed with strong R&D investments. Today, when natural honey is mentioned in Turkey, Balparmak is the first name that comes to mind, and it is now taking its place among industry giants as well as household staples. Balparmak (Altıparmak Gıda Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş.), which is listed in the "Second 500 Major Industrial Enterprises" announced by Istanbul Chamber of Industry (İSO), has certified both its economic and sectoral growth.

Balparmak General Manager Ulaş Altıparmak made the following comments on the matter: "As Balparmak, we have been drawing inspiration from nature for 45 years and advancing with the power of science. Our inclusion among Turkey's major industrial enterprises as determined by İSO is the natural outcome of our 45 years of effort; our vision intertwined with the beekeeping profession and our sustainable production capacity. Today, as a brand that has developed an advanced analytical method with the potential to increase Turkey's pine honey exports by 30 percent and brings its products to the tables of 43 different countries, we believe that this success is more than a financial ranking; it is a brand journey born at the intersection of sustainability, science, exports, quality, agricultural development and the strong bond between us and our consumers whom we call 'Balparmak Lovers.'"

Balparmak Finance Manager Kerem Ekinci emphasized that the company's inclusion in the "İSO Second 500" list is a tangible indicator of the value it creates at the corporate level through its strong financial infrastructure supported by current technologies, focus on sustainability and data-driven management approach. In his statement, Ekinci said, "With our approach to effective resource utilization, financial discipline and long-term perspective, we continue our growth not only with numerical data but also with structural and cultural transformation."

A natural success story extending from Turkey to the world
Balparmak, which has introduced Turkey's honey and bee products, particularly Turkish Pine Honey, to the world, today exports to 43 different countries from Germany to America. This export success is a tangible indicator not only of the quality value of its products but also of Balparmak's strong representation of Turkey in the international arena.

Behind Balparmak's success lies an approach that brings together the miracle of nature, the work of bees and the power of science. The contribution of Balparmak R&D Center, a pioneer in bee products in Turkey, is also quite significant. Recognized as one of the world's few scientific centers in the field of bee products, the center has achieved international success. The naturalness and purity of every jar of honey is documented through advanced analyses and delivered to tables with confidence.

Balparmak also contributes directly to the development and sustainability of the beekeeping profession through the Balparmak Beekeeping Academy. This structure, which makes beekeeping more productive and sustainable, adopts an approach that considers not only the producer but also the nature in which we live. Academic-level training provided to beekeepers serves both the creation of a long-term value chain and the protection of the ecosystem.
