Two of Sunar Products awarded by International Taste & Quality Institute

Head quartered in Brussels, International Taste & Quality Institute presented its annual award this year to Cake Margarine and Sunar Corn Oil products of Sunar Group on 14th April following the testing taste by master chefs of leading associations.
Nominees for the award have been blind tested by a group of 120 chefs and 12 beverages experts by their production conditions, tastes, aromas, first impressions and their packages. Huseyin Nuri Comu, CEO of Sunar Group expressed his satisfaction and proud about the award and said, “We are the first company awarded in Turkey. Now we have another motivation to deliver our products to the customers in more than 70 countries. Sunar’s name means more than a company name for me; it is also my mother’s name. Our products all reflect all symbolic aspects of a caring mother, with their nice packages, mouthful tastes, being halal, natural and healthy. Since from the beginning our motto was, ‘do not sell any product that you can safely put on your own table.’ I want to dedicate this award to all our mothers.”

Mevlut Nacar, marketing manager of the company, said that it took seven months to complete the application process in cooperation with all other departments.
“It was a professional team work. The award will certainly add more value to our brand both in domestic and in export markets. We try to improve our performance before we go into competition with our rivals. As a result of this understanding our company has won many other award including golden package award, trusted brand award, FAO medallion, and others.”
Products that were given more than 70 points over hundred passed the tests. Sunar Group now can use the Institute’s logo on their packages for three years.
