Pasta, now an indispensable food staple, was not always as popular in Turkey as it currently is. In fact, it was only in 1922 that pasta first began to regularly appear on the plates of the Turkish people, and this was still a relatively uncommon occurrence. 1950 was when pasta truly began to be seen as a more popular food source in Turkey and, since then, it has become one of the most common food sources in the country.
One cannot speak of pasta in Turkey without mentioning Nuh’un Ankara Makarnasi Sanayi ve Ticaret AS, founded by the Eskiyapan brothers, Ahmet Eskiyapan and Kemal Yurtabilir. With their first factory established in 1950 on Ulus Rüzgarli street their popularity soon led to an increased demand and a more specialised and expansive production space was needed.
Decades passed and Nuh’Un Ankara Makarnasi only continued to soar to new heights. Their new plant was built in 1956, followed by their production increasing to 30 tonnes-per-day in 1965. Their product range also expanded around this time as the Turkish people expressed their desire to experience more varieties and forms of pasta.
In late 2018 it was recorded that Nuh’Un Ankara Makarnasi’s latest and most modernised factory is producing an astounding 16,000 tonnes of durum macaroni and 15,600 tonnes of pasta. Their own unique brands of pasta are exported worldwide, and they are renowned worldwide for their impressive and innovative products.
Their multiple brands and ranges of pasta, such as Kepekli, Veronelli, Elif Makarna and Classical, all help ensure that the growing population gain sufficient access to only the best and most nutritious foods on the market.
And how do they manage this? A big part of this is their dedicated use of Bühler machinery.
The Bühler solution
Nuh’Un Ankara Makarnasi’s manufacturing facility, which is currently the third largest-capacity manufacturing facility in the world, proudly uses exclusively Bühler machinery for their pasta production and cites this as a primary source for their success.
Bühler’s Pasta and Grain Milling business units have worked extensively with Nuh’Un Ankara to ensure that their production facilities are equipped with only the best in processing technology, and they have continued this union for decades.
“We have been working together with Bühler since we started our own production,” says Feridun Haboglu, member of the Directorate-General at Nuh’un Ankara. “We have chosen Bühler because of their performance and the quality of their solutions. We have never regretted this decision and therefore still count on Bühler today as our technology partner.”
In order to ensure premium-quality pasta is produced, their producers use the highest-quality durum wheat from the South-East, as well as from Central Anatolia, which they shape through high-pressure and cure in ovens in temperatures of no more than 80°C. As little manual intervention by workers is carried out, to ensure that the final product is as free of contaminants and pure as possible, an aim that Bühler’s innovative milling solutions carry out with ease.
As technology has continued to evolve, Nuh’Un Ankara have ensured to always update and use the latest in Bühler innovation. In 2008, Nuh’Un Ankara approached Bühler expressing a desire to further expand their production capabilities, in order to try to increase their share of the market to a solid 40 percent in Turkey.
Bühler quickly set themselves to the task and after much analyses and discussion, the plan was set into motion and the facility began expansion.
