Eti Gıda Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş.
Eti is a Turkish food company that makes and sells biscuits, crackers, cookies, and snacks.
Eti is one of Türkiye's best-known snack companies. It makes the kind of food you grab with a cup of tea: biscuits, crackers, cookies, wafer bars, and packaged cakes. Its brands fill supermarket shelves across the country, and most Turkish households have grown up with at least one of them.
The company was founded in 1962 in Eskişehir, a city in central Türkiye, and it built its name on affordable, mass-produced biscuits at a time when packaged snacks were still a novelty there. Over the decades it expanded into a wide range of products and became one of the country's largest food manufacturers, with factories in several cities and a distribution network that reaches small corner shops as well as big grocery chains. Eti sells mainly at home, but it also exports to many countries, often to markets with large Turkish communities and to the Middle East. Its main rivals in Türkiye include Ülker, the biscuit and chocolate arm of the Yıldız Holding group, along with global players like Mondelez International and Nestlé that sell international biscuit brands.
The business is a volume game: thin margins per pack, but enormous numbers of packs sold every day. That makes factory efficiency, cheap ingredients, and shelf space the things that matter most, and it means the company's fortunes rise and fall with consumer spending in Türkiye and with the cost of wheat, sugar, and packaging.
