HISTORY
A CENTURY OF ACCUMULATING KNOWLEDGE …
The roots of our company go back to Sarajevo and a young businessman/entrepreneur, Mr. Beylerbeyi Barɪştɪran.
Arriving in the central Anatolian town of Kütahya in 1913, Beylerbeyi Barɪştɪran is credited with the opening of the first permanent spice, grains and ironmonger store in what was then Ottoman Turkey.
His son, Ömer Barɪştɪran, continued the family business in İstanbul, starting his own wholesaling operation in spice trades in 1944.
Representing the third generation, Haluk Barɪştɪran, joined his father’s enterprise shortly after graduating from Nişantaşɪ School of Pharmacy in 1974.
Today, İdil Koray (née Barɪştɪran), represents the fourth generation of Barɪştɪrans to join the family business alongside her father, following her graduation from the University of Pennsylvania in 2005—continuing in the family’s tradition of a seamless transition roughly every 30 years!
Incorporated as a private enterprise in 1984, Barıştıran A.Ş. today is one of the most respected distributors of dairy ingredients, dehydrated vegetables, spices and food ingredients to the food industry in Turkey and abroad.
