MEHMET ALAPALA
HAS ALSO STARTED A NEW ERA FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS.
That experience started a new era for both Mehmet Alapala and generations to come. At that time, flour mill machines were made of wood. Leveraging the experience he gained during these efforts, Mehmet Alapala began manufacturing sieves used in flour mills.
With his dedication to quality and meticulous work, Mehmet Alapala quickly began selling sieves to all factories in Turkey, becoming the first and only person in the country to do so. This achievement laid the foundation for Alapala, which went on to become one of the world's leading companies in its sector. Later, Mehmet Alapala, together with his son İsmail Alapala, started manufacturing all machines used in flour mills and turnkey facilities. Establishing Alapala Feed Factory in 1982 and Alapala Flour Factory in 1984, they laid the cornerstone of what is now the Alapala Group.
