BELDEM Gida Tic. A.S.

BELDEM is a division of PURATOS NV and was founded in 1975 to supply the high quality emulsifiers produced within the group since 1955 to the entire food industry.

More recently, strategic developments in the field of ingredients led, in 1994, to the creation of a manufacturing facility for enzymes and sourdoughs.A new step forward into the development of high value biotechnological products was made at the end of 1999 with the building of a brand new yeast plant called Gelka International.

Because of the growing success of these ingredients, on January 1st 2000, BELDEM and FRIMOND were merged into one company, BELDEM S.A., representing the Food Ingredients Division of the Puratos Group together with Gelka International.

Today, Beldem is integrated in the new PURATOS Group organization as a part of the Strategic Business Unit Bakery and has been divided into 3 Business Units : B.U. Enzymes, B.U. Emulsifiers and B.U. Bioflavours & Yeast.
