Company Introduction:
Mey Alkollü İçkiler Sanayii ve Ticaret Anonim Şirketi, commonly known as Mey Diageo, is the largest producer and distributor of alcoholic beverages in Turkey. The company operates primarily as a manufacturer, owning and operating production facilities for a diverse portfolio of spirits and wines.
Its product range includes several iconic Turkish brands, notably Yeni Rakı and Tekirdağ Rakısı, which dominate the Turkish rakı market. In addition to rakı, Mey also produces various other spirits such as vodka (Binboa, İstanbul Blue), wine (Kayra), gin (Cin Adalı), and a range of liqueurs.
Originally part of the state-owned Tekel, the company was privatized in 2004 and later acquired by the global spirits giant Diageo in 2011. This acquisition integrated Mey into one of the world's leading alcoholic beverage companies, enhancing its production capabilities, market reach, and distribution network.
Mey Alkollü İçkiler's core business involves the manufacturing, bottling, marketing, and distribution of its own produced alcoholic beverages throughout Turkey and for export markets. Therefore, it is categorized as a manufacturer, or factory, rather than solely a trading company.
