Since 1972
1972
Şaban Akgöl started in 1972, selling fresh fish in Hatay. It grew into a family business supplying fish from Hatay to markets across Turkey.
2012
Incorporated in 2012, Akgöl Balıkçılık moved from retail into production: sea bass and sea bream farms, then a processing, packing and cold storage plant in Mersin.
Today
Today we handle the fish ourselves from the sea to the box, and deliver it to buyers in the Middle East and Europe under an ISO 22000 food safety system.
