TURKEY
Toper, a Turkish manufacturer of coffee roasters since 1954, has enjoyed tremendous growth in recent years.
Toper roaster and supporting destoners, afterburners and grinders are now found in more than 130 countries.
The Izmir-based company supplies a whole range from micro shop roasters to large industrial roasters. To meet demand, especially from Asia and Africa, the company has constructed a modern 43,000 sq. ft. (4,000 m2) factory including laboratories and educational facilities both for newcomers and for those who want to sharpen their skills in roasting and in evaluation of the end results.
Move-in began this summer and the plant was operational by August.
