Duygu Süleymanoğlu, Deputy General Manager (CMO) responsible for Marketing at DİMESThe EU Dairy Products Export Approval once again confirms DİMES's production in line with international food safety and quality standards. We compete with our global competitors in our domestic market and in over 100 international markets worldwide. We have an approval process for dairy product sales to EU countries, which we have identified as our strategic target, and we have completed this process with DİMES quality. We aim to further advance our strong position in the European market, where we have been exporting our fruit juice products since the early 2000s, with innovative products like the DİMES Milkshake and our cold coffee, OBSESSO.

As one of Türkiye's leading beverage brands, DİMES successfully competes with global competitors in international markets spanning over 100 countries, in addition to its domestic market, and continues to grow its brand globally. DİMES has completed the European Union (EU) Dairy Products Export Compliance Process at its Izmir factory. Having exported fruit juice products to European countries since the early 2000s, DİMES has also fully completed the necessary certification process for milk and dairy product exports.

DİMES, following the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Livestock's intensive inspections regarding production in compliance with European Union standards, passed all inspections, including follow-up inspections by the Izmir Provincial Directorate of Agriculture following the visit and report of the Ministry's delegation. Thus, DİMES received the relevant approval certificate, officially defined as the "Control Procedure for Dairy Enterprises to be Approved for Export to European Union Countries."

DİMES CMO (Deputy General Manager of Marketing) Duygu Süleymanoğlu emphasized that the European Union Conformity Approval once again confirms the brand's production strength in line with international food safety and quality standards. She said, “We have been competing in the European market with our own brand since the early 2000s. With our momentum as a global beverage company, which has been the primary focus of all our strategies for the last seven years, we identified our strategic target countries, especially the European markets, two years in advance. We will further advance our strong position in the European market, a strategic priority, with innovative products like the DİMES Milkshake and our cold brew coffee, OBSESSO. Exporting milk and dairy products to EU countries requires a certification process. In this context, we have successfully and completely completed the EU Dairy Products Export Conformity Approval process, thanks to the strength of our DİMES quality. This significant achievement reflects the DİMES family's innovative perspective, mastery of processes and systems, and high commitment to sustainable quality, environmental, and occupational health and safety culture. We thank all our team members who contributed to this process.”

DİMES Izmir Factory Director Musa Kılavuz commented on the process: “We produce all our products to the highest quality standards. This certification process essentially reaffirms this quality. DİMES quality has been officially recognized during the EU harmonization process. Our DİMES Milkshakes and OBSESSO cold brew coffee were already produced in accordance with current EU standards and delivered to consumers with high quality assurance. All procedures and necessary documentation were meticulously completed as part of the certification process, and we received our certificate. The thorough inspections we passed during the EU harmonization process are a reflection of our sense of responsibility and our leadership in the sector.”
