EKER

With the Istanbul Regional Directorate established in 1987, Eker began to establish a presence in this geography where competition is more intense. After Altan Eker's sudden death in 1996, his children Ahmet Eker and Nevra Eker came under Eker's management as the second generation. Eker, which took a strong step in the buttermilk category, its most ambitious product, by offering the first liter family-sized buttermilk for retail sale in 1997, started to expand its distribution area by establishing Regional Directorates in Ankara in 1997, and in Eskişehir, Adana, Antalya and Gebze in the following years.
