Case Study: Tomra 5C gives hazelnut producer a competitive advantage targeting high-quality export markets
Gürsoy has been producing and selling hazelnuts since 1933 and is today one of Turkey's top 10 hazelnut exporters. With its three facilities in Ordu on the Black Sea coast, Gürsoy is recognized in international markets as one of the most established producers in its region of hazelnuts and hazelnut side products. Exporting to 32 countries worldwide, Gürsoy supplies natural and processed hazelnut products to large industrial companies that operate at the top level. Gürsoy continuously invests in its facilities to ensure the quality meets customers' demands, and it is at the forefront of automation with its purchases of TOMRA optical sorters. It has chosen the new TOMRA 5C, featuring the latest technologies, to further increase the quality of its products. Gürsoy is the first company in Turkey to use this optical sorter in processing hazelnuts.
Gürsoy produces natural hazelnuts and various processed hazelnuts for industrial use, cream types with cocoa or milk, hazelnut spread, dragée, various packaged hazelnuts, sauces, and chocolate for the domestic and export retail industry. Gürsoy has been using TOMRA machines in its facilities since the early 2000s. Six TOMRA machines are operating on the production lines of its three facilities in Ordu.
