About EMTA

A Family Legacy in Food Industry

Built on three generations of food manufacturing experience, EMTA Kimya combines practical industry knowledge with a carefully selected ingredient portfolio and a partnership-led approach. Our family's production heritage, dating back to the 1950s, continues to shape how we source, recommend and support ingredients today.

Our story began long before EMTA Kimya had a name. It grew from a family deeply involved in food production since the 1950s — experience passed down across three generations and shaped by the realities of manufacturing, from formulation and processing to consistency and scale.

EMTA Kimya was established to carry that perspective forward as a dedicated food ingredients partner. Today, we connect reliable global suppliers with ambitious manufacturers, helping our customers select ingredients that fit their products, processes and commercial goals — with technical understanding, responsiveness and a long-term perspective.
