Gedik Piliç Secures Its Place in the Top 1000 Exporters List
Gedik Piliç secured its place as the only 100% domestically capitalized company representing the province of Uşak in the “Top 1000 Exporting Companies” list for 2024, announced by the Turkish Exporters Assembly (TİM) at the end of June.
Gedik Piliç, which has been operating in the Eşme district of Uşak since 1968, achieved the distinction of being the first and only Turkish company to export to China, the world's most populous country, in 2020, and in 2024, it also carried out the first chicken meat export from Turkey to the EU.
Yağız Gedik, Member of the Board of Directors of Gedik Piliç, which was the Corporate Tax champion in Uşak province in 2024, said in his statement regarding the “Top 1000 Exporting Companies” research results "We are proud to be included in the 2024 Top 1000 Exporting Companies list, just as we have been included in the ISO 500 list since 2009. We are working hard to turn the opportunity to include European Union member countries in our exports to all corners of the world this year into an advantage, to introduce our brand, our products, and our company to Europe, to create partnerships in new markets, to develop ourselves with new business partners, and to be competitive in global markets with our belief in sustainable growth."
As the largest company in its region, it has always aimed to benefit both the regional and national economy. Yağız Gedik, who says that with over 3,000 employees, they have made social responsibility their duty, not just profit, thanks to the direct and indirect employment they create, said, "With a global mindset and local action, we will continue our R&D and technological investments to increase our product and market diversity and produce reliable, value-added, and healthy products. By adding exports to EU countries to our exports to all corners of the world, we want to increase our contribution to the country's economy and continue to grow with innovative products as a leading food company that respects nature and people within the framework of our sustainability policies."
