Hasan Kutucu started his business with a small
confectioner's shop and a small mashing workshop at the back of it
in Izmir, Mezarlıkbasi in 1943; as it was hard to find sugar during
shortage years of World War 2; dried grapes, figs and walnuts are
grinded at mincing machine and made as a paste with roasted chickpea
powder and processed with a roller and cut into small pieces and
packed in small papers.
There has been put various bonus and cinema
tickets to attract the youth and children. These works kept on in
full speed till 1948. After 1948, the first wholesale shop is opened
in Sadirvanalti. Now the shortage affect of the war was over and it
was easy to find sugar. There was a great demand for sweeties as
well.
Turkish delight and rock candy is manufactured at
the first work shop established in 1950. The first confectioner (sugar
with paper packing) is manufactured in 1955. In 1960's the first jam
workshop in Turkey has followed this. Poured jam demands of many
schools, military organizations, various hotels and Turkish Airlines
have been supplied. Sesame oil havla production is started in 1965.
Our products have been distributed to whole Anatolia via wholesale
shop in Sadirvanalti. Our sales were not only limited with our
production but also other manufacturers' products were marketed in
wholesale as well.
This past experience has become a tradition and
our retail shop has started to serve for the new generation in Izmir,
Kemeralti in 1973. Presentation of good quality with cheap price
product variations as of chocolates, Turkish delights, sweeties and
nuptials sweets. We go on serving with a principle of transferring
our comprehension to future generation and to move it future in
Kemeralti.
