- Oba Makarnacilik Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S. operates as a leading food manufacturing company primarily in Turkey, with extensive international presence across more than 100 countries. Founded in 1966 and headquartered in Gaziantep, Turkey, the company specializes in the production and sale of pasta and related wheat-based products. Its core offerings include a diverse product portfolio consisting of pasta, children’s pasta, mac and cheese, noodles, flour, and semolina under multiple brand names such as OBA Makarna, OBA Mie, Pasta Savana, Omelia, Vera, Obalino, Eva, Rosa Linda, OBA Gold, Pasta Layla, Nido, Intervallo, and Champion. The company also engages in grain trading, mainly wheat, complementing its core production activities. Oba Makarnacilik’s production facilities incorporate modern technology and high-capacity capabilities, with daily outputs of approximately 3,000 tons of wheat crushing and 2,000 tons of pasta, supported by investments in R&D and quality control that emphasize health and safety standards. Recent major developments include the launch of instant noodles in 2023, the installation of solar panels at its Hendek and Gaziantep plants, and a significant capital increase through an IPO in early 2024 which strengthened its balance sheet, enabling improved profitability through strategic cost management and pricing adjustments. The company holds a prominent position as an export champion in the Turkish pasta industry, ranking among Turkey's top 100 largest industrial enterprises as of 2024. Oba Makarnacilik combines deep-rooted experience with a strategic focus on profitable growth and sustainability in its operations.
