Bolu Kalite Yem Sanayi A.S was founded by Serafettin Erbayram in 1980. Factory’s initial installed capacity was 5 ton/hour. In 1989, it has been built in a separate area by increasing the capacity to 20 ton/hour and still continues its manufacturing operations in that plant.
In 1990s, integrated companies started producing their own animal feed as a result of developments encountered in the poultry sector; therefore it became necessary to select a new business line that will go hand in hand with the animal feed factory. Our founder Serafetting Erbayram carried out surveys in foreign countries for a period of four years and, in 1995, he decided to found Bolca Hindi under the umbrella of Bolu Kalite Yem Sanayi A.S. Bolca Hindi is the first Turkish company that produced white Turkey that is a specie from California.
Incubation units and hens of Ankara University’s Faculty of Veterinary were rented initially. The enterprise built its own incubation facility with a capacity of 1.800.000 turkeys in Bolu in 1999. Bolca Hindi has been institutionalized in time and obtained TS EN ISO 9001:2000 certificate in 2003, TS EN 14001 Environmental Management System and TS EN ISO 22000 Food Safety Management System certificates in 2008, Halal Certificate in 2011 and Good Agricultural Practices certificate in 2015. In addition, we have Food Production Certificates, Food Registration Certificate TSE Turkish Standards Compliance Certificate, TSE Certificate of Manufacturing Competence for all product groups. Increasing its capacity continuously, Bolca Hindi continues its operations in its new slaughterhouse built in 2006 with a capacity of 1.200 turkeys/hour using state-of-the-art technology introduced in Europe.
Bolca Hindi enjoys the pride of achieving well-deserved leading position in the sector as it is the first enterprise that breeds white turkey specie from California.
