In 2002, I opened my own business in Bursa. In 2005, I signed a contract with Öztiryakiler A.Ş, one of Turkey’s leading companies in the sector, and got the Southern Marmara Region authorized technical service. Our success in service also helped me to get Öztiryakiler A.Ş South Marmara regional dealership in 2010. Thus, sales and project commitment were added to the structure of our business that we provide after-sales service.
I needed to create an area in Turkey, which would be a first in my sector, to inspect products and test equipment before purchasing them. For this purpose, we opened the doors of Gastro Academy in 2015.
We provide professional cooking, professional pastry, basic cooking, basic pastry, corporate and individual workshop services within our academy. We provide employment to the sector with the professional cookery trainings we provide. Today, the chefs we train in many restaurants and cafes are working.
