- Atakey Patates Gida Sanayi ve Ticaret AS is a Turkey-based food processing company primarily engaged in the manufacturing, processing, storage, and distribution of frozen potato products and frozen snack foods. The company operates an integrated farm-to-fork agribusiness model that encompasses contracted agricultural cultivation, raw potato grading, cold storage warehousing, and industrial processing. Its comprehensive product portfolio comprises frozen potato items, including standard straight-cut French fries, shoestring fries, seasoned and skin-on potato wedges, crinkle-cut fries, coated lattice and grid fries, hash browns, and potato croquettes; complementary frozen finger foods and appetizers, including battered onion rings and breaded cheese sticks; and agricultural support services, including certified seed potato management and technical agronomy guidance for contracted potato growers.
The company serves commercial clients across the quick-service restaurant (QSR) sector, wholesale food service (HoReCa) channels, and organized retail markets. Atakey Patates operates as a key supplier for major restaurant chains operated under the TFI TAB Food Investments platform, including Burger King, Popeyes, Arby’s, Sbarro, Subway, Usta Dönerci, and Usta Pideci. Geographically, in addition to its extensive domestic distribution throughout Turkey, the company exports processed frozen foods to international markets across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and the Americas, including export operations supplying Quick Service Restaurant networks in China, the United Arab Emirates, Iraq, and Brazil.
In recent developments, Atakey Patates has expanded its production footprint through the commissioning of a 10,000-metric-ton capacity manufacturing line dedicated to high-margin coated and breaded appetizer products. The company has also expanded its commercial product assortment with newly launched potato croquette lines and broadened its international supply arrangements. Operationally, the company has undertaken major energy and sustainability initiatives, including investments in on-site cogeneration projects, obtaining ISO 50001 Energy Management and RSPO supply chain certifications, and adopting I-REC certified renewable electricity sourcing. Furthermore, following its listing on Borsa Istanbul, the company has instituted corporate share buyback programs to support market valuation and capital structure management.
Atakey Patates Gida Sanayi ve Ticaret AS was founded in 2012 and is headquartered in Istanbul, Turkey, operating its primary industrial processing and specialized cold storage facility in Susuz, Afyonkarahisar.
